"Fair enough, but be warned try to escape or attack me. And I will not hold back from punishing you. As for your friend, he is not to breathe a word about my existence or this castle. He will not be welcomed back in my home until I see it fit for his return. Understood?!". Hiro replied in a flat cold tone.

"No, Beau, no" Mandy screamed behind the locked door. "This is all my fault. You had plans, Beau, don't give up them for me. Life your life."

Beau looked back at the door and replied in a hard tone "No. I won't let you here for death, Mandy." he looked again at the shadows in front of him.  I agree with your terms." He said, looking at the darkness. "but... please, come to the light. I want to see the person who i will spent the rest of my life with" he whispered.

[Monkeypaws19]

Hiro nodded and used his magic to release Mandy from the room. "As you wish". He replied and came into the light revealing his true form to the other male who was willing to take his foolish friend's place.

Hiro nodded and used his magic to release Mandy from the room. "As you wish". He replied and came into the light revealing his true form to the other male who was willing to take his foolish friend's place.

Beau shivered as he saw Hiro's true form. He wasn't ugly, at all. Sure, his appearence was different than anything Beau had seen in his whole life, but he didn't thought Hiro was ugly. Even in that strange form, Beau could see beauty in Hiro's body, specially in his eyes. He turned back to see Mandy, who was slowly walking out of the room. "Beau... How can i ever thank you for that? You saved my life."

Beau looked at Mandy "Yes, i saved your life." He said, emotioned "So live it well, in the right way. And keep the promisse, don't tell anyone who lives here. If someone asks about me, tell them i'm dead. Live your life, not only for you, but for me. You know the places i would like to go and the things i would like to do. So visit this places and do this things, for me. Now, go. You have a long way until the town."

Mandy looked at Beau with thankful eyes. "Thank you, Beau". Beau looked back "goodbye... brother". And Mandy was gone.

Beau looked up at Hiro, not knowing what the male would do to him.

Hiro kept his attention focused on Beau studying him. He wanted to figure Beau out and find out more about him. He found him attractive for a human. "Come with me, I shall show you to your chambers". He replied calmly and led Beau out the tower down the stairs in silence. He escorted Beau to the finest guest chambers in the castle. He used his magic to have it cleaned and restored to it's regular beauty. The room had a large bed, french doors, a private bathing chambers and shelves filled with books .Hiro left Beau at the chambers in the castle and escorted Mandy out towards the castle's gates. Before Mandy left the castle, Hiro summoned a generous bag of gold coins. "Take this, it will allow you travel far if you are careful with your coins". He told him and threw him the bag of coins. Before turning his back to him and went back into the castle.

"My... My room?" Beau asked a bit shocked. "I thought i would stay in the tower. Thanks." He said, standing up and following Hiro through the halls. "Well, since we are going to live together, i think we should know each other a little bit, right? My name is Beau. I know it's a silly name, but my mother asked my father to give it to me. It was her last wish, since she died one hour later. And how should i call you, sir?" Beau asked.

[Monkeypaws19]

"Yes, you can stay at the tower if you wish. And your are welcome". He replied calmly as he wandered the halls with Beau following behind him like a lost puppy. "No, it's a nice name....just call me Hiro." He mumbled feeling a pang of sadness at the reminder of his long deceased clan and family. "You can go anywhere you wish in the castle and castle grounds. I will call you when dinner is ready". He replied quietly and slipped outside into the gardens to tend to them. He wanted to think about his new guest and room mate at the castle.

"No, thanks, i prefer the room" Beau smiled "Hiro is a very beautiful name, if i may". As Hiro opened the door to show Beau his room, his eyes widened. It was a beautiful place "Oh, thank you, really, this room is so beautiful. Thanks for everything. Is there anything i should know about? Any forbidden place?" He asked.

[Monkeypaws19]

"Thank you, so is the name Beau". He replied calmly and gave Beau a faint smile. "You're welcome, you may free range of the castle and castle grounds. Just don't leave the castle grounds". He replied quietly with a nod. He was feeling a bit shy and confused by Beau. He couldn't understand why Beau was being so nice to him even after all he had done to him.

"Thank you. I won't leave the grounds." Beau smiled sweetly. "Do you want me to help you with something? Maybe with the dinner?"

[Monkeypaws19]

"You're welcome, no thank you. I am fine. If you need me I will be in the gardens preparing the frost we are due for soon". He replied with a faint blush and turned away quickly. He quietly prayed Beau didn't see it as he hurried away. He also wanted to ensure that the wild birds and animals that came to visit him would have plenty of food for the winter.

"Okay. Thank you, and if you need anything, i'll be glad to help you". Beau said with a big smile. As Hiro went to the castle ground, Beau closed the door. He sat on the bed and rest a little bit. He was grateful that Hiro had accepted his offer and had not killed his friend.

[Monkeypaws19]

"You're welcome, I will and thank you....". Hiro mumbled. He smiled as he relaxed in the gardens. He summoned a large bowl of seeds for his feathered friends and waited for them.

[tjopj44]

After some time, Beau decided to find Hiro, he was feeling lonely in his room. So, he went to the castle ground, admiring the beautiful snow on the floor, until he found Hiro. "Hi" Beau shivered as he realized it was very cold outside. "I was wondering if you would need some help with the chores, and i thought i could help you"

[Monkeypaws19]

Hiro jumped and startled the birds that had gathered around him for a snack. "Hello Beau, thank you for offering but I am fine. Please you shouldn't be out here without a cloak". He replied and slipped his own cloak around Beau's shoulders to warm him up. The birds returned shyly to Hiro and made themselves comfortable on his shoulders and head. "It's alright, my friends. This is Beau, he is going to be a guest here for the winter time". He told them

"Oh, Hiro, you don't have to give me your cloak, you'll feel cold." Beau said politely. "They are so beautiful... Hi, i am Beau." he said to the little birds "I hope we all can be good friends".

[Monkeypaws19]

"It's alright, cold weather doesn't bother me. I was born in the winter time during the first snow fall of the winter time. They said thank you, and it's nice to meet you too". He replied after translating for the birds. "Would you like to help feed them?". He asked Beau and offered him a bowl of the bird seed.

"Well, if the cold don't bother you, i'll wear the cloak then. Thank you" Beau said. "I would love to help you feed them" He said, taking some seeds with his hands and offering it to the little birds.

[Monkeypaws19]

"You're welcome". Hiro smiled as some of the birds flew over to Beau and rested on his head, shoulders and arms to accept the offered seeds.

[tjopj44]

"You're welcome". Hiro smiled as some of the birds flew over to Beau and rested on his head, shoulders and arms to accept the offered seeds.

Beau enjoyed the feeling of the birds lightness, and smiled as they started to eat the seeds. "Aaawn, they are so cute... So, you were born in the winter, right? Nice, it's something that usually doesn't happen so much. I'm sorry if i am being rude, but... I never saw someone like you before."
