Hussein's story began in Syria, just eight years before he was born or maybe just after the eighteenth anniversary. Hussein doesn't take notice of the anniversary of when it started. When he was a child, what had happened surround his reality every day. A world before it was unimaginable to Hussein. At least when he was a child. His story began in March 2011 when nationwide protests erupted when the president used deadly force to crush a peaceful march. What resulted was long, long years of war. 365 thousand people dead with 500,000 more missing. Divided groups of people, all with their own agendas. International countries moving in–helping or aggravating the civil war was subjective. Hussein's mother, Alya, was only twelve years old when the Civi war broke out and spent her young teen years moving from place to place, trying to avoid the war. When she was fifteen years old, her own parents managed to send her to boarding school in France. Though her home life was almost non existent, Alya blossomed in the makeshift schools and was able to enter boarding school through a scholarship. It was an international school and hundreds, if not thousands, sought that position. However, it was given to a displaced teenager in Syria. A miracle.

Alya's life changed in France. She was overwhelmed with the simple but stable life she was given. Her horizons had grown immensely, meeting people from all walks of life. Alya was introduced to rock and roll, punk, classical. Gone were her days in Syria. Now, she was living the Western life. She loved it. She loved the music, the cigarettes, the concerts, the education. By the age of seventeen, Alya had practically forgotten the war torn country she had come from. Just before she turned eighteen, she met a man named Albert. He was of, with no other word to describe him, beautiful. He turned heads wherever he went. It confused Alya when he took interest in her and ignored all the people around her, even though they did their best to grab his attention. Naturally, as Albert was a Veela, she was attracted to him but she never acted on it or threw herself at him. However, only a few months later, she fell right into his lap–literally. She fell in love and threw herself into the relationship completely.

Six months later, when she was eighteen years old, she fell pregnant. When she told him, terrified and mortified, he disappeared only a few weeks later. Not sure what else to do, Alya turned to her parents, telling them what had happened in a letter. Apologizing, begging for their forgiveness, the letter took up nearly ten pages. Not being able to continue her studies in France, as they refused to let her continue when they found out she was pregnant, Alya was forced to return to Syria. She was kept hidden from the outside world. People were told she was married, that the father had died in a car accident. Six months later, Hussein was born. He was a quiet child. Rarely cried–in fact, Alya would say he never did cry unless he had been hurt. Alya thought there was something wrong with him. Something emotionally missing. Once thought he was a psychopath. Her punishment. However, he wasn't. But he wasn't completely human. He was half veela. Not that he or his mother were aware of this.

However, as he grew up and grew out of his shell, it was clear that Hussein had a short
