It was hard for Kace to raise his children alone without their mother, it was the hardest thing he ever done, and it was even harder now that they were older. For the longest time, since they were able to talk, they asked about their mother and why they didn't have one like everyone else did at school. Kace knew that it had to be hard for them to except that their mother was dead, even at such a young age, but Kace didn't know what else to tell them but the truth. He wasn't going to one of those parents who lied about everything to their kids, he might lie about the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause being real, but that's all he lied about. He wanted to be a honest father to his kods, just like his parents were to him, if he was honest to them then they'll grow up to be honest.
After training with Brian and Robert which he been doing constantly to increase his dueling and fighting skills, Kace had quite a run in with Blood and his puppy mutts, apparently Blood had quite a fascinating with Khaat Robert's daughter which ended up in quite a heated duel between them two and the four cubs Kace dueled. Of course with all the training he went throughwwith Brian and Robert, he put those cubs on their leashes and sent them back to the pound. Kace gotten quite banged up, but it was nothing compared to the bruises he gotten training with Brian and Robert, they showed no mercy on him. They told him that they were training him as if he was in a real battle, they did multiple things to make his training harder each time he trained with him, but he was quite good they told them and getting better as the time went on. While Miriam was trained by the most wanted man in the wizarding world, Kace was trained by the two known people in the wizarding world as well as Blood's enemies.
Last night him and Robert rescued Khaat from Blood hands once again, but Robert told him that it won't be the first or the last that Blood had took her, so he kept a close eye for Blood and his mutts. Of ccourse as a Auror it washis job to pprotect the minister and his daughter, but he would do that anyways, Robert had so much for him he didn't know how he could repaythat man for eeverything he done for him. Him and Brian took him in after they heard about his death eater attack that lead him to go missing for two days as they beaten him and tortured him for information, at that time he was a broken and vulnerable man, nothing like he is now. Weird how time and years changes everything, sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the bad. In Kace's case, it was for the good, even though at the time, he didn't think it was.
*next morning *
Kace had early morning training with Brian and Robert, they wanted a early start after what happened last night. Kace had a couple of bruises on him as some of them weren't exactly healed yet, but those were his battle scars, and he was quite proud of them. Kace already been through his training this morning, and was ready to put his knowledge to the test. Although was he going to go easy on Miriam? He didn't think that he was quite going to, but then again Brian and Robert didn't show no mercy on him, but he wasn't sure that he could hurt her. Although he remembered her and knew who she was, he pretend that he didn't know anything.
Kace was sitting on the bench swiping the sweat from his forehead as Miriam came in, he looked at her and noticed that she was quite cold to him, he looked at her with cold eyes right back. "Actually no, I'm not training with you anymore, new requirements by the ministry you have a new trainer. " said Kace handing her the papers. " I'm in training myself for other reasons, so I can't train you anymore, good luck with your training."said Kace as he grabbed his water and bag with his work clothesin it. Kace looked at her with his cold eyes once again, although he knew who she really was, there was now coldness back in his sky blue eyes. The way Kace saw it, if she wanted to be cold and hateful towards him, Kace could play her game very well.
