We're all destined to be something from birth. Thieves, Kings, Queens, A prince, A princess, the list goes on and on. We never know what we'll be until our horns come in, correct? You know, it's weird , you lock me away at the age of six because of a broken horn, Its been ten years since then... Heh... i still remember what you said " Xeno... You must leave." I remember it very well father. I of course went to my room and started packing, what else could i do? You are the king. Though, why must you send me away with the prisoners father, i am but a boy. Why must you leave me here to rot, It's as if they are starving us. We are getting no food, nor water. Heh. Seems i am running out of ink, I shall leave this short. Please tell the guards to feed me other than that i do not care.
Yours truly ,
Xeno

The young boy let out a quiet sigh as he swiftly sealed up the message. He held it in his hands softly muttering words that sounded somewhat like an incantation, as soon as he finished the message went up in flame and disappeared. "How to get out... How to escape..." He muttered out pacing around in the dingy room. His eyes were the only source of light that was in the room. After a few moments of pacing he had heard the alloy door open. He looked towards it, his oddly colored eyes looking towards the guard. "Hey, Pipsqueak" The guards voice was in a thick New York accent and was chewing his piece of gum as loud as possible. "King got your letter, say ya' were dumb for even trying to get food. We're trying to starve ya'" Xeno stood there looking dumb founded before he stated calmly in his quiet British accent "You know what, okay, i am perfectly fine the way i am. Hurry along now wouldn't want to be a bother." He lashed out towards the sentry before he went back to his moderate pacing speed. Once he had heard the door close he quickly looked around, he lit a small fire in his hand illuminating the room. He looked around the room quickly for any opening, then he noticed, a miniature hole in the wall. Xeno let out a toothy grin as he walked towards it. He sat down in front of it taking a deep breath in thinking to himself "Everyone else of our kind can do it... but they're older..." He let out a soft sigh, he may have been mature for his age though he was still only sixteen. He quickly shook his head, starting to concentrate more on the matter. It got quiet, there was only the sound of the rain pouring down outside. Then there was a flash, Xeno had pulled it off, he had shifted forms into a small being, an ant. Xeno let out an excited noise though it was unable to heard as he crawled through the hole, to his surprise it had lead to the hall. He transformed back looking around, there were guards everywhere,though they were mainly asleep. Xeno looked as if he was in a state of shock, fear spread across his face as he looked around. "This didn't go as planed.." He thought to himself as he looked around at all the faces that were in a slumber around him. He started shaking, "I cant do this, I'll be a fugitive..." He soon softly slapped himself on the face shaking his head. He nodded to himself as if he was trying to motivate himself. He took a deep breath in and a deep breath out. He closed his eyes, relying on everything a thief had taught him. "Be one with the surrounding, you shall bend in with the shadows, or become one in your case." He has always loved that thief, and it was then when he found out that no matter what you are its your personality that should matter. Then it hit him, he had entered the shadows. Xeno smirked slightly yawning a bit, looking around thinking about having a total jail break. He nodded once more as if answering the question that was never stated. The only problem about where he was, there was barely any shadows and for now it had been a waiting game for someone to walk by, and when they did he snatched the keys and travelled in the shadow to each door, unlocking it. After he had unlocked every door he hopped out of the shadow and made a mad dash for him, accidentily taking the form of a wolf along the way. He stumbled as soon as he did, looking behind him seeing he was in the clearing. A slight look of relief spread across his furry face as he looked down trotting across the area. He was looking for the portal that would allow him to go to another world, apparently it was a world full of people who we're almost the same. He looked around quickly every was startled and on edge they we're all aware that a Overlord was in the loose. He was staying quiet, thankfully his wolf form would not allow anyone to know that he was the one. "A few more meters...." He said quietly as he started to sprint across the courtyard and towards the green glowing goopy portal. He shifted back and started to jog, this was it. He was finally going to be free. The walked through the portal with a smile. This was one small step into his new life. A life away from being hated. A life of finally making friends. A life of being able to talk. His smile quickly turned into a grin as he looked around. There were quickly moving vehicles everywhere, people lots and lost of people, and most importantly no family to lock him up. He stated quietly, grinning "Here we are...."
