Y/N POV - 7 years old:

'It's cold. Why is it so cold?' those were the first words that came to mind when i woke up. I was sitting outside in the snow, an imprint left by my body.

 The trees that surrounded me gave an eerie feeling and i couldn't help but feel scared. There was the smell of burning wood close-by and I could make out a pillar of smoke as i scanned the treeline.

'Where's mom and dad? why is my chest so sore? where am I? wh-' ARGH! All of a sudden my head starts to throb and every time I move pain washes over me.

 The pain is too intense, i can't help it as i start screaming, begging my mom and dad to come help me, save me. But nobody came.

Then, like nothing happened in the first place, it stopped. The pain disappeared, and so did the questions.

  'I remember everything, mom and dad dying, their assailants, me....dying? Why wasn't I dead? Why? I'd rather be dead than live like this! I don't want to live like this! I..! I....No... I still have things to do. I'll become a huntsman and make sure innocents will never have to suffer like i did. This is my resolve'

And so, in the dead of night in a 7-year old boy by the name of (Y/N) begins his journey to protect the people of remnant. It's a shame all good things must come to an end.

Y/N POV - 8 years old:

I was walking around the newest town i'd found. Who knew living by yourself was so tough? Well, i managed to make it by eating any scraps of food I could find and drinking water from rivers nearby. I didn't have any weapons, nor did I know how to fight, so going out to hunt wasn't an option and I wasn't exactly stealthy enough to steal.

Then, as I was walking by I heard the sounds of a scuffle going on down the alley I just passed and decided to check it out. 'What could this be about, I wonder' I thought as i got close enough to see the brawlers. They both seemed to be young, older than me but young nonetheless, around 12 if i were to guess.

One boy was lean and had spiky blonde hair that fell over his green eyes, though apparently he could still see through it. The other was slightly taller and chubbier, with brown hair and pink eyes.

Blonde: C'mon, give it up Cal. You know you can't beat me

Cal: No way Jay! I need those rations man!

Jay: What you need, is an exercise routine and to eat less.

Y/N: PFFT- HAHAHAHA

At the remark that this...Jay just said I couldn't help but start laughing, with tears forming in my eyes. The boys whipped around to face me, Jay seemed relaxed and wore a grin from ear to ear while Cal turned red before storming off.

Y/N: Oh my god, you fucking killed him dude! HAHAHA!

Jay: Oh? And who are you meant to be? I'm sure i haven't seen you around here before

Y/N: Me? Oh- Um, I'm just a homeless guy that's passing through...

As I say this I look down, expecting to get laughed at or mocked for being homeless or being in the raggy (f/c) shirt and (sf/c) shorts. What I did not expect, was Jay to respond Sincerely.

Jay: Oh, that's a shame. Me and my friends are also homeless, so why don't you come live with us? I'm sure they'd be fine with it, as long as you help out of course.

Y/N: Really!? You'd let me stay with you guys?

Jay: Of course we would Birds of a feather and all that

At that point I couldn't help but grin a grin so wide it felt like my face would break, but I didn't care. I finally had a family again. 

'I won't let anything happen to my family this time, I'll become strong enough to protect them'
