He couldn't fall asleep but finally he did. He fell asleep. Maybe, it was the medicine's effect which made him sleepy.
After Rhodri closed the door of the room, his whole temperament changed. His aura turned cold. He didn't look like a ten year old at all.
After walking for a certain distance, a shadow stopped behind and bowed down to Rhodri.
The shadow spoke, "boss, what's the order?". "Why is there no chocolate or candy supply in our base? My toy likes those", Rhodri spoke in a very nonchalant way as if it wasn't weird to call a person his toy. "Increase the supply of candy exported in our base, we will start selling them",Rhodri commanded to the shadow with his icy temperament and his eyes deep as the arctic sea. The shadow obeyed and did as he was told.
Rhodri entered his room. A chain could be seen hanging down his neck.
At first glance, it looked like a normal and simple silver chain but when you look at it more closely, you could see its design was not simple at all. The chain had intricate designs on it and the locket which was hanging down from the chain had his name engraved on it.
This chain and locket was given as a tribute to every leader of every generation of the famous mafia group which was called 'Home of dead angels'.
'Home of dead angels' had a new mafia leader. The new mafia leader's age,gender and name were all unknown. People didn't know anything about this new leader. This leader in question was our little Rhodri.
How did this little child become a mafia leader ? That's a story for another time. In summary, he became a mafia boss with the help of his enchanted supernatural abilities which he awakened at an early age which was not statically possible for a human being.
It was not actually the village Taen had thought. In reality, this village was the base of Rhodri's mafia group. But those ruthless rumors about the village Taen had heard were half true and half false.
It's true that people who reject the offer to leave them were killed. But the people who accept their offer would be recruited in their mafia group. For them to be recruited in the group, they had to leave their past self.
For them to exist in their group, they had to leave their old existence in the life they had before they reached the village, to forget that they ever had a life before they reached that village.
It's not like this was the main base of the 'home of dead angels' mafia group. It was more like their hidden base. That was why it was in the middle of nowhere in an unknown desert.
Anyways, Taen, as the son of the president of country Nica, knew about the tribute of their mafia group which was the silver chain that came with the locket.
But, as a matter of fact, Taen didn't know that Rhodri, his dear bestie, was the mafia leader of that same mafia group he had loathed so much. Who would expect a ten year old child to be a mafia Boss, right ? Rhodri had hidden this fact from Taen very well.
Anyways, Taen, who was sleeping, had the same exact nightmare from before. His breathing became heavy. He was also sweating. Then, suddenly, he woke up. His expression, not good. His brows furrowed. His eyes, red. He wanted to cry. A tear trickled down from his face onto the white blanket. Should he go and call Rhodri? He thought.
He wiped his tears off with his hand and walked to Rhodri's room. He was hesitant at first but after thinking about it, he knocked on the door of Rhodri's room.
The sleepy Rhodri opened the door. He looked too adorable as if a second ago, the boy with that icy temperament didn't exist. He wore a light blue nightcap on his head. His pajamas were light pink. He didn't look like a mafia boss at all.
"What happened, are you okay?" Rhodri asked, looking at Taen's expression which looked sleep deprived. "Umm.. can I sleep with you tonight ? I am too scared to sleep alone" Taen spoke hesitantly.
