~On a sunny village there lived a 12 year old boy named Zael Xenon, the boy always walked on the outskirts of town stealing food and gambling, he would always get into trouble and get away with it, he was a homeless kid, his family got separated away from each other when he was still at the age of 6, he got adopted by a young couple but when the wife had died the husband changed and acted cruelly to Zael through verbal and physical abuse, he would even try to dispose of him so he ran away through the forest and got really injured then eventually went to the outskirts of the village. Zael was mocked by the poeple who passed by him saying how dirty and disgusting he is while he is staying in a corner crying, his clothes were ripped and damage, he has minor scratches on his face and some bruises on his knee which he got while running away through the forest, one person in a cloak suddenly approached him and treated his wounds and gave him food to spare, Zael thanked the stranger and the guy in the cloak smiled at him and left, he wasnt able to grasp on how his face looked like but he clearly saw his eyes that was full of warmth. He did wished to meet him again someday until now.

Present day during medieval times the boy is being chased by some guards while Zael is carrying food in his mouth, this was a part of Zael's daily routine of his life, he is always able to outsmart the guards and get away so easily, he smirked and laughed then indulged on the stolen bread, he stayed in his usual cozy hiding place which he call home and would lay down on a hay stack, suddenly he heard a girl crying nearby, Zael saw a 9 year old girl hiding in the corner covering her face while crying, she wore a green hair band and had two long twin ponytails, he approached the girl slowly and poked her

"Are you okay?" Zael asked, the girl got shocked and got up immediately to wipe her tears

"Who are you?" the girl exclaimed

"My name is Zael" he replied, Youre kinda cute, why are you crying?" Zael continued, the girl looked closely at Zael and think he is kind of friendly

"I ran away from home" the girl replied, the boy got stars in his eyes when he heard this

"Really? I did too a long time ago! though it was 6 years ago, hehehehe" the boy said innocently excited

The girl nodded "Y-yeah, I better get home now or they'll get mad at me

"Eh? your leaving? but why were you crying? whats your name?" Zael said confused, he doesn't want her to leave he thought, the girl became sort of speechless, she never thought some weird kid would worry about her

"M-my name is Sonya, b-bye now", the girl said nervously then ran away and left without another word, Zael sighs in disappointment

"Too bad I thought Ill be able to talk to someone" Zael said as he scratches the back of his head while smiling, he took a deep breathe and fell down lying on his hay stack and decided to take a long nap. The next day, as usual Zael is running down the street being chased, he took a left turn at a dark corner and hid

"Search everywhere! go!" shouted one of the guards, then all of them split into groups and ran, when they already left, the boy laughed really hard,

"Hahaha! suckers!" Zael said as he starts eating the bread crumbs he stole, he suddenly heard someone crying nearby, he thought that it sounded familiar so he followed where did it came from, he saw Sonya from a distance being pulled by a lady that he probably thought it was her mother

"No I don't want to!" Sonya exclaimed while whimpering and crying but the mother just pulled harder, the lady lets go of her hand for a minute and checked her bag for some money to pay to the person on the vegetable stand since she bought some vegetables, while the lady was looking away Zael thought that "Here's my chance", so he immediately ran towards Sonya and grabbed her hand
