Darkness had fallen and cries of terror pierced the ears of people in the upperclass area of the town. Men with black hoods destroyed crops and buildings of the lower-class area reducing the quaint part of the town to rubble. Buranku, a boy with pale hair and shining red eyes, managed to scuttle away from the merciless tyrants into the upper class area leaving his home, family and friends behind. With him being 10 at the time he couldn't possibly fight them.

While running aimlessly through the upper class area of town, he found a blacksmiths and outside was slightly sheltered, he didn't dare go inside incase the people there would be afraid of him, so he sat outside and watched as people passed by. Then one day a girl with hair as blue as the ocean walked up to him. However, this girl was hesitant in her strides, she had noticed the boy from her bedroom window across the road.

She wanted to help the boy so she shyly spoke." H-hello" she wanted to run away but stayed regardless determined to help him in his time of need "I um noticed you here every day for the past month... my family live across the street and um..." the girl was nearly in tears, she was terrified of Buranku. She continued "if you'd like to stay at the inn my parents own....."

Buranku smiled softly at her and spoke calmly "I do appreciate the offer miss... what did you say your name was?" The girl looked at him "O-oh my name's Shuí" the girl breathed heavily still scared of the boy. "Well okay miss Shuí. I appreciate your offer but must decline. For I have no money only the clothes on my back and the staff in my hand."
Shuí paused for a minute and spoke feeling more comfortable believing he wasn't a cruel person despite him looking menacing. "Well... I guess you could work there.... my father let's people stay if they work" Buranku starred at Shuí amazed that someone could be so kind to what royals referred to as 'the lowest form of scum to ever be found on Earth'.

Buranku stood and introduced himself "My name's Buranku thank you ever so much for your kindness" Shuí smiled "We could be friends I'll you Bura from now on"
