Kids were playing in the contaminated water but nonetheless having fun splashing each other and talking.

A little bit away from everyone under a little high cliff was a little boy, maybe around ten years old, sitting alone and wind up his little water boat. He looks up when he sees a shadow from up above and sees a girl maybe a few years older than him, looking at him with slight curiosity.

He keeps winding up this boat toy to pull the trigger to activate it but the girl gets called by her friends making her turn, gives a small smile at the boy and runs away. The little boy sighs and gasps when he hears something fall from his left.

It was a little girl, maybe four or five years old sitting on the ground and rubbing her knee when she tripped and fell. He looks at her with worry but sees her stand up and dust herself off, he was rather surprised when he saw she had a fluffy tail and ears, he's never seen anyone like that before and it fascinated him.

The girl's ears flicker around at the sound of the water then at him, slowly turning to look at him. She tilts her head and slowly approaches. Her nose wiggles as she sniffs the air and his hand that he reached out for her and nuzzles her head against his hand, purring.

He giggles a bit and pets her ears letting her get closer and sit next to him, her eyes grow bigger at the sight of the boat and he takes notice.

"Um..you like the boat?" The little boy asks, slowly showing off the boat and getting a small nod from the girl. He smiles a bit at someone being interested in his little invention and watches her paw at the water wheels.

"No, not like that. Look, I'll show you." He winds up the boat a few more times and pulls on the trigger making the water wheels spin and the small kitten's ears perk up. He sets the boat down and both watch it cruise away as he lets out a chuckle at the excited creature that would follow it.

The girl turns to him as he tries to get up and rushes to help him, nudging her body to boost him to stand up. The boy pets her ears in thanks and follows the girl who was running to follow the boat.

The boat gains some speed as it rides the water with the girl right on its tail but the boy is still a bit further back due to his disability of his leg, but nonetheless tries to catch up to the little girl and his boat. But that was short lived when he tripped and fell to the ground with a small yell.

The girl stops and turns to see the boy laying on the ground, she jogs over and sits on her knees in front of him. The boy looks up a bit and sees her looking at him with a slight sad look, she also sees she has a small necklace with a name on the end.

'(Y/n)'

"Are you okay?" Her voice was small, a little soft but cold. He nods and dismisses the fall and tries to get up, (Y/n) helping him up and now holding his hand while going towards the direction the boat went.

They make it to a cave with all types of rocks and (Y/n) looks up at the boy with slight worry but he looks down at her and gives a small smile. "Go on, I'll be fine."

(Y/n) slowly nods and gently lets go of his hand and gracefully makes her way down the slope of the cave, she waits on him at the bottom and finally decides to ask him a question.

"What's your name?" She asks, seeing him carefully climb down one last rock. Her ears move back at the familiar sound of a chatter and can already tell where the boat ended up.

"It's...Viktor. And you're (Y/n)?" He assumed that was her name but he can be wrong and he doesn't want to be rude and call her a name that wasn't hers.

(Y/n) nods and nudges him to follow hearing the wheels of the boat nearby and make it to a small clearing. Viktor sees a person sitting on a rock and quickly sees an unknown pink creature slither on the bigger rock and snarl in their direction.
