The Moretti Chronicles

[Chrysalis]

Cozy near a fireplace sits an old man, a little child resting it's head on his lap. The old man slowly pulls his fingers through the little child's blonde and lush hair.

[color=#FFCC99]Suddenly the boy's serene and tranquil nature turns into an inquisitive one...

"Godfather, tell me about my father." - The little boy begged as he rested on his lap.

The old man Bruno took a deep sigh, as he remembered his best friend. - "He was a good man, Marco. He ran all the properties and belongings of the family with ease, as if it was no trouble at all. He was strong in his youth, not even a horse could outrun him, and all the girls preferred him over anyone else, even though his only interest was your mother." - The old man remembered...

Marco's eyes suddenly changed from glittering happy to watery and sad as he tried to hold back his tears - "But all the other kids at school call him a petty criminal, a law breaker...Was he that, Godfather?

Bruno's face suddenly turned grim, as he was holding back from bursting into rage - "Your father was the best man I ever knew Marco, remember that. All those crimes that he was accused of were not true. In this flawed world, injustice strikes the weak, while the vile get away with it, remember that."

The boy thought about it for some minutes, and then fell asleep at Bruno's lap. - "Sleep tight, child, tomorrow we return home..." - He whispered as he pat his innocent head.
