"Aaaaagh!"

A scream almost akin to a shriek of a baby eagle reverberated among the forest trees.

The one who made that cry opens his bright sunshine eyes to scan his area.

A boy looking no more than 7 years old stands and trudges against the hefty snow to a swam of mana.

Blood drips on white lands and his dark cape slides behind him.

He knows where he is.

The Empire's nother point has a territory famous for it's dangers and ruggedness.

The owner of the land was Boleoti.

The boy heaves a heavy sigh as he waddles through the gate. Once he reaches the other side, he collapses on a soft pillow.

"Hey are you okay?!"

The pillow ask as it shook the injured boy. He discerns through the haze a human with black messy hair and eyes as black as the night over him.

Their body skinny and short and dirty covered by dusty tattered dress that doesn't reach their knees.

"Are you listening?"

The young human shakes him, pressing for answers however ot is just lulling him to sleep. A loud cry slowly weakens as the boy closes his eyes.
