#442 - Hiatus

Title: Interlude
Characters/Pairing: Kahler-Mas, little girl
Rating: PG
Summary: He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, but he does find another kind of peace.
Words: 100
Warnings/Spoilers: None/A Town Called Mercy


He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep. He's ever watchful, though very few ever see him. The folks of Mercy are a bit afraid of him, but if he's a monster, then he's their monster, guarding them always and they sleep better at night for that.

There was a girl from the town, young and unafraid, found him one day, taught him to fish. Over the years she taught him to dance, taught him to smile again and eventually she passed reminding him how to cry.

Her descendants can always find him, and in their presence alone he allows himself rest.

Beautifully done and totally believable-out of all the townspeople, the little girl was the one who didn't fear him. And I love that through her, he was able to regain the humanity that had been taken away from him.
