Kael was a curious child, his laughter echoing like bubbles through the water. He had inherited his parents' courage and wit, along with a spark of something extraordinary—an affinity for the ocean that bordered on magical.
Sia often watched him play among the reefs, her heart swelling with a mixture of pride and apprehension. She knew Kael carried the legacy of the Stone, even if it now rested in peace.
"Do you think he'll ever ask about… everything?" Sia asked Anthony one evening as they watched Kael chase a school of fish.
Anthony smiled, wrapping an arm around her. "When the time comes, we'll tell him. But for now, let him be a child."
And so, they focused on the present, savoring each moment of simplicity and joy.
