Alfie

Bio
Alfie is your typical eight-year-old. He lived in Ranami with his mother and father all of his life. His favorite things were to go to the zoo and when his father let him ride on his shoulders, allowing him the get a clear view of all the beings walking around them. His favorite candy shop was a couple of blocks away from his school and if he got a good grade on his math tests his mom gave him a few silver pieces to get some treats.

When the Drifters (the gaseous orbs) ripped apart the tavern his family was eating in they also ripped apart everything he had known up until that point. He had known that he loved riding on his father's shoulders. He had known that his mom's laugh always made him giggle no matter what icky mood had crawled into his chest. He had known that his father was stronger than the scary creatures that lurked in the shadows and that his mom could make any person ten times nicer with a smile.

But now Alfie knows different things. He now knows that even though his legs don't carry him at high speeds down the streets anymore, but that a flowy, red cape holds him in the air. He knows Papa Walter will eat Fruit by the Foot's with him until his tummy hurts. He knows Mr. Runch and Mr. Jay will always be there when he wakes up and even will play games with him. He knows Mon the mouse lets out a little squeak when Mr. Runch lets him feed him cheese. He knows Mamnum is a little weird, but always gives him a sucker when he sees him around campus. He knows that Grandma Agatha loves worms and doesn't mind digging for them if he has his spade. He knows Keiran sounds a little boring, but always tells the funniest jokes. He knows Tiger is such a cool big brother and lets him pet Cheese whenever he comes over. He knows that Roger is the coolest guy he's ever seen (he's a DRAGON MAN).

He knows that even though the nice people that pulled him from the destroyed building leave from time to time, they always come back. They always come back and they always smile like his mom and hug him hard like his dad.
