Misery sits with grief as he oversees Monotone and its separate entities Lily and Dahlia.


His smile always came from the depths of hell as he was ever so intrigued by how he was disarmed to a realm of happiness.


"Patience is the gift of understanding that eventually exists." Serene spoke ever so softly in Misery's ear.


His grief didn't come from pain.


It came from the separation of one world that became two.


Balance was scarce.


As hard as he and Serene attempted to blend the two worlds.


It only occurred with discretion after discernment.


Celestials and Shadow Walkers seeking each other out to test the frequency of time partnered by fate.


"What made you appear so suddenly?"


Serene was curious.


What made the ancient Shadow Walker appear?


"Your heart. The only time I heard it cry out was for love." Misery spoke recalling her cry when she lost her father Saturn.


"It was then I vowed to visit you every night. While my instincts were telling me to seek and destroy the light. I wanted to cover it and keep it for myself."


Serene appears behind Misery with a smile. Speaking for the first time in 11 years.


"Daydreaming again?"


"Was I?"


"You fell into my orbit." Serene speaks softly from the heart.


Similar to her son Siren. So it was no surprise his spirit caught wind of his mother's nearby.


After another evening spent with Passion.


Siren headed back to Dahlia, approaching from the Virgo Tree shaking his head as he stumbled across his parents in an embrace.


Similar to he and Passion's first face to face.


"Mom, dad? What are you doing here?"


" My child, enjoying A Place With No Name. The Grey Ones can't agree on what to call it." He says with a sigh.


The Grey Ones were elders of Monotone who lived on Cloud 9 where Siren's twin Skye is one of the most trusted Guardians of Light.


"Still debating on the unfortunate divide? We have Libra to bridge the gap of both worlds. Why can't things just be?" Siren's Shadow Walker was beginning to surface.


"Siren, I want you to understand things will never be quiet as they were. Everything is to be taken with a grain of stardust." Serene says touching Siren's face.


Siren softens his tone.


Looking his mother Serene in her beautiful, smokey grey eyes as his father towered over

them both with a nod of agreement.


"I understand."
