Puddles splashed as the busy streets of central Forst flooded with townsfolk curious to get a peak and the newest trades of freaks caught by their dashing and fearless hunters. The gasps of confusion and fear spluttered the streets as a boy was revealed chained in a cage, he looked human except his ears reached into sharp points and his skin was pale and smooth despite his depicted age. His ears flattened back as screams a plenty echoed, mothers pulled their children back to them covering their eyes, children just like him who didn't understand what was so wrong with him that they couldn't look. A large plump man stood beside the cage proudly showing off his discovery, smashing his cane into the side of the cage, the boy swore it rattled so much it would cave in on itself and crush him in the process.
