Markus's POV:

I'm almost there just alittle ferther!! "Get back here you little shit" the angry shop keeper yelled at me. I'm so close I can't stop now. I was so close to the hole but of course I fell. Just my luck. I hit the ground hard but was brought back up by the man pulling on my shirt. He pushed me up against the other building's wall and held me up by my shirt "alright you little shit where's the food you stole". I was getting angry at this point. This man has been getting at me for this since I had became an outcast and homeless so it's no surprise that he caught up to me but the good thing is...he can't get in.

"Fuck off already" I kicked him in the stomach hard so he could drop me. When he did I ran to the hole in one of the buildings and slid into it so he wouldn't be able to grab me I'm very small for a 15 year old so it's easy to get into small places.

He tried to grab me still and failed "Ugh your dead next time kid" he said and removed his hand from the hole. I sighed in relief knowing I'd 'live' another day. I grabbed my bag and looked through what I was able to grab and pickpocket today...it wasn't much. I had 3 pieces of bread and a couple of silver coins from whatever people in the lower level of the 'order' here in Firro.

Firro tops out of the 3 Dekoma Kingdoms so I got lucky to be abandoned in such a rich and highly respected Kingdom. But all the citizens aren't respectful at all if anything they're dangerous. If I haven't almost died of starvation then it be the times I'm stabbed or for my favorite one...the UDF. UDF stands for underground dungeon fighting. Great way to get money if your desperate.

I actually helped start this madness. I had to get money somehow and that meant getting my hands dirty. When your starving you will do anything to keep from dying...and I mean anything.

I sighed knowing what tonight was. I got to get my hands extra dirty do to the fact some little kid wanted to speak against a fight to save his brother's life. Turns out the kid and his brother's mother is dying because of a demon illness but the medication is to expensive for us lower level people. So the older brother chose to get into the UDF to get some money and he was soon to pass out but his brother intervened and now I have to fight the kid.

"There's our man of the night!" Oh God. "Hello Leo." I said in a melaton voice. Leonard (Leo) the killer is one of the people who help me start this shit show and the one who was fighting the kids brother. "What's wrong Blade this isn't like you usually  your happy to see me what's got you down". He knew the reason. He pointed me out to do it and as if I was ever happy to see him in the first place anyways. "Ok I know why your mad" he said walking closer to where I was sitting. "But I thought you might like this." He crouched down to my level and held in his hand one of the most expensive knives on the market. A galaxy knife that I've had my eye on for awhile. I stared in shock not knowing what to say. " Leonard...I don't know what say...how did you"

"listen kid. This knife reminds me of you. No matter what it goes through it's hella tough and will never break even when it's under pressure. I've known you for a few years and I've seen that even though you don't show it you care about all of us." He paused trying to find the right words to say. "Me and the guys put together some money we got from our past fights and well since we don't really know your birthday and tonight is the 5 year anniversary of UDF..." I could tell he was trying not to choke up on me. "We thought we get you a gift for starting this and mark it as your birthday."

I don't know what to say or how to feel. Me, Leo and some other guys started this together but I was the one who brought it to life. They're like family to me I just...don't know how to show it. " Markus..." I snapped out of thoughts and knew that Leo will only use my real name unless it was something important so I looked up at him so we could make eye contact to make sure he knew I was listening. "I want you to use the knife at the fight tonight".

"Are you crazy. I can't. What if I-" i was panicking. I normally don't panic to make an example out of someone but this kid is at least 9 or 10 he knows that's Louis's job not mine."Markus you are going to do great mijo I promise. I have to get going but I'll see you there and don't forget to bring it ok adiós hermano." And with that he left and I was dumbfounded.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Everyone was clapping and cheering as I walked into the ring out of the dungeons gate. There were these old underground secret dungeons that we found. Used for satanic rituals and what not. I looked around at everyone who came to me teach this kid a lesson. I then saw his big brother who looked at me with horror and eyes that asked for mercy on his brother.

I looked away knowing that I can't do that for him. I made my way to where the kid was in the ring he also looked terrified. "Hello everyone and welcome to such a special night for all of us who help start this shit show and something that we mark as Blade's birthday." Art pointed at me and everyone cheered louder. I looked up at him and smiled but that smile faded away once I looked at the young boy who was about to beaten or worse... "on your mark...get set...g-"

"That's enough." The crowd separated and whispered in shock. When I looked I couldn't even believe it myself who it was.

•Ok this was alot and it took me awhile to finish but I hope you guys like.•
