Many people has tried to take the flower, but none had been able too find it. That was however until a young man came across the flower. He has heared the stories of the flower too so ofcourse he was tempted to take it. However when he saw how beautifull the flower was he couldn't take it, so he decided to care for it. Everyday he went back to the flower to clean it, give it water when it hadn't rained for some time and protect the flower from people who tried to take it. He noticed soon that he never felt tired anymore and figured out that it was because he sang to the flower. He became obsessed with the feeling the flower gave him and started to kill people who tried to come near the flower, but one day this changed.
The royal guard were desperately looking for a cure for the queen's sickness. They soon found out about the flower and started to look for it. When they found it they brought it to the queen and dhe got cured. Not much later gave the queen birth to a little boy. The hair of the boy was as bright as the sun and his eyes as blue as the sky. The name Apollo was bestowed upon him, after the god of the sun. The whole kingdom was excited about this except for one person.

He snuck in the castle and found his way to the room of the child Apollo. When he saw the baby it was like he was the flower, but in human form. He took the kid and escaped quickly. When the baby woke up he started crying. The young man panicked and sung a lullaby. The hair of the baby started to glow and the young man noticed his faitigue ebbing away. He realized that the baby had gotten the powers of the flower and he dicided to keep the baby and raise him as his own. He went to his home and started to think about what would be a good resident for the baby.

“Tommy I'm back!” XD shouted from beneath the stairway. There was no response and XD quickly ran upstairs. “Tommy, where are you!” He panicked a bit. Tommy hadn't gone outside right. He wouldn't do that. He openend the doors of all the rooms and saw, when he opened the door to his room, Tommy laying on his bed, face under a pile of pillows. He calmed down and went up to Tommy to wake him up. He shook him a bit and said: “Wake up Tommy.”
Tommy groaned: “Just five more minutes, XD. I'm tired.” He turned away from XD and relaxed again.
XD got annoyed and kicked Tommy of the bed. “So am I, now wake up before i grab a bucket of ice-water.”
Tommy yelped as he hit the floor and stared offended back at XD. “Prime, you could have just shaken harder. You didn't have to shove me off your bed.”
XD's nose scrunched up. “Last time I did that I got a foot in my face.”
Tommy's face flushed and he scrumbled up and looked away. Then his face lit up and he grinned. “I made another painting today. Come see!” Tommy took XD's hand an dragged him to the painting. It was a weird looking dove. “I painted the animal you described the other day. It may look a bit wonky, but that's because I wasn't sure about the propotions.” He gave XD a toothy grin and XD smiled back.
“It is already really impressive that you made this based off a vague description and if you would describe a dove and your painting the description would be the same. It is just the shape that is abit strange. I could try to get a dove so you can paint it.” When XD said this Tommy's eyes lit up.
“You can do that! Oh Prime, that would be so cool.”
“I can always try. I'm sure there will be someone at the markt who sells doves.” XD noticed that Tommy was trying to control his excitement, but it was pretty easy to notice. “I'm gonna make some food now and then go to bed. It's been a long day.” XD sighed.
“ALright, I think I'm gonna paint a bit more and if I feel tired go to sleep.”
XD made dinner and he and Tommy sat down to eat it. Tommy loved XD's meals and just like always he ate it with a big smile on his face. XD relaxed in his chair as he ate his food and wondered when he actually started caring about the childs welbeing. At first he just kept Tommy to stay young, but the kid had grown on to him and was now like a son. He knew that if word ever got out that the lost prince, Apollo, was still alive and that he kept the prince in a tower after kidnapping him, he would be most definitely be excecuted, so he didn't allow Tommy outside of the tower for both their wellbeing. At first it had been hard for Tommy since he was a child, but soon he didn't care anymore and was happy just living in the tower.
When dinner was done, XD said goodnight to Tommy. He went to his room and lay down. Tommorow he would look for a dove he promissed himself and he fell asleep.
