Sudden Intrusion (1)

With the excitement of Lorian's offer still lingering in the air, the celebration of Theron's birthday continued. Soon, it was time for the birthday cake. A grand, multi-tiered cake was brought out, adorned with intricate designs and glowing candles.

Everyone gathered around as Theron stood before it, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"Make a wish, Theron," Allyza said softly, smiling down at her son. She caressed Theron's hair as he stood before her.

Theron closed his eyes for a moment, putting his hands together in his chest. With the action, everyone momentarily became silent so Theron could make a wish before blowing out the candles.

'I don't know what to wish…' Theron thought as he felt the stares being thrown in his direction.

'I hope to be happy.' Without anything left to wish, Theron could only think of that thing.
