(Featured Characters: Xephos. Ships: N/A)

I ain't trading my youth for no suit and jacket
I ain't giving my freedom for your money and status
So don't say I'm getting older
'Cause I'll say it when I do

Back home, with Xephos, ever since his mother died, his father had been pushing him to do more things. He just turned 20 and was being passed on as a king of dystopia. He didn't want to live the same life as his father, he never liked the royalty, he knew his father was cruel.

'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
Is growing old, is growing old too quickly
And I don't wanna go
No how am I supposed to slow it down so I can figure out who I am?

He didn't want to lose himself because of the power.

And I ain't trading my dreams for no 401k
And I ain't giving this fire for a cold, cold heart
So don't say I'm getting colder
'Cause I'll say it when I do

Unfortunately, he took on the king role, without much of a choice.

"Sir?" His father, the servant, had gotten older. "There are disturbances in the Akioncester halls..and uh..-"

Xephos turns and faces him, "Well did you call the guards?"

The servant shakes his head.

"Perhaps think of your resources beforing come to me with these small issues," Xephos watches him, waiting for him to leave. "well get on with it! And if you fail expect to be punished."

His father watches him. "What has happened to you?"

Xephos smiles. "Oh, I've learned from the best, father. Now leave."

Xephos turns back into his bedroom.

He had a cold heart.

And he intended to keep it that way.
