Somewhere locked in a wealthy estate, in cluttered bedroom is a sleep deprived half-peacock Kenku boy with diminished aspirations.

Cicero Faulkenrath is the child of Raphina Mayura and Yoto Faulkenrath. He has been led to believe that the only reason why he was born was to be an extension of his father. This is starting to be proven true.

Due to Yoto’s belief that no school is competent enough to teach his offspring, he “homeschools” Cicero himself, when in actuality he keeps him holed up in his room completing assignment after assignment, teaching him the magic types that Yoto deems essential, to hopefully drown his “faults”…

The magic type that Cicero was born with was Healing Magic, already making him unpopular in the eyes of his father. Therefore he is much harder on him and even calls him useless.

Raphina is an odd situation. She too is hard in her son but in a bully way. She teases him and belittles him for a laugh. While it seems like she’s flat out cruel, there are moments that make Cicero believe otherwise. He doesn’t know for sure however.

As much as Yoto wishes to mold Cicero in his image, Cicero dares to say he resents all that his father believes. He instead wishes to be a helping hand to a scarred planet.

However he doesn’t think this will happen. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t keep clinging to this false hope….
