Chapter 1: Pain

"Nononononono" thoughts from a child currently scared out of his mind.

The child was running through an alleyway. He could hardly see anything causing him to bump into crates, getting dust on him. His arms hurt but he was too scared to care about any of that. Tripping on bumps of dirt on the ground without falling. His legs started going numb due to how much he was running. The child finally saw an exit out the alleyway. Transitioning from dirt to stone he felt relieved. The child stopped panting for air after his long run. He calmed down, looked back to see nothing, he sighed in relief. The child looked around and saw multiple stalls, realizing he's in a market. Looking up at the sky to see the moon shining brightly through the clouds covering up the sky. He felt safe and it was short-lived hearing the sound of people screaming "hang them!". He followed the noise leading him to peek through a corner of a building. His eyes now in despair, he saw his parents on a wooden platform. There standing on stools. Nooses over their head. A man in a white robe with gold linings with an angelic design had a book reading out loud. Saying how the sins they committed will soon be atoned with death. The lady on the stool had a face of confusion and anger. The man was scared and confused.

"BULLSHIT I HAVEN'T DONE SHIT!" The lady screamed out with the angriest face she could muster. The man in the robe then said "See! She's worked for the devil! Her face says it all!" He exclaimed with a smirk at the end of his sentence. She looked at him and knew her fate. "You fucking bitch!" She said angrily.

The robed man had enough and he gave a single to the executioner by putting his hand up with only two fingers. The executioner walked over to a lever at the side of the wooden platform. The executioner put his hands on the level gripping it tight and pulled with all of his might. The floor under the parents opened and they both fell. A loud snap can be heard from their necks. The child couldn't believe it. He stopped peeking through the corner. He sat down against the building wall. Tears swelling up in his eyes and he started crying. Rubbing his eyes with his hands confused.

"Why were they executed? We didn't do anything bad? It doesn't make sense! What would happen to me? Why! Why!" He started having a mental breakdown as his thoughts overflooded with negativity.

Something approached him from the dark parts of the market. The child saw and he started freaking out. He saw a monster. It was too dark to see it completely but it ran up to him, grabbed him with its gloved hands, and jumped. It jumped high landing on top of the building and started running fast jumping from roof to roof. The child was frozen in its arms, terrified. It started to rain, droplets hit his face causing him to close his eyes. After a bit more running the monster prepared to make a huge jump. It landed on a building facing out the town walls. It crouched holding the child tighter and jumped. It made a huge dent in the building and they sent flying. They went so fast, the wind pressure was so intense he had to keep his eyes close while water still hit his face. The monster adjusted its landing pointing its leg towards the ground. It bent its leg a bit and held the child tighter. It landed on the ground using its leg to carefully land. They landed in a forest surrounded by trees and fireflies. It put the child down carefully standing up. As soon as it let go the child fell due to shock. It was surprising but it helped him back up by putting its hand under his shoulder and slowly lifting him. The child stood on his legs and stood. They let go for the second time and the child was able to stand on his feet. He looked up to see a concerned face. Blue eyes stared back at him. The child looked deeply and all he could think was about how pretty their eyes were. He almost got lost in its eyes and it backed up. The child no longer looking into its eyes now saw that it wasn't a monster. It grabbed out a baguette and said.

"Are you okay little one?" It asked while handing out a baguette covering it up with its other arm so the rain won't get the baguette wet.

The child could now see the whole picture. He can see a beautiful woman with a dark blue cape. It had a flower design on the outside with darker blue color. Under her cloak, she had a dark grey long-sleeved shirt with straps with one around her waist and one going around her left shoulder to her right side of her hip. The waist strap had bags attached to them. 3 in her back and 2 in front. The child doesn't know what's inside them. On her shoulder strap, she had knives attached to them. The child took the baguette and started eating it fast. She was amused by how fast he was eating it. The child was looking down using his head to cover the baguette. He saw her dark boots that were built to not make any noise. Her dark grey pants also had a strap around her top right leg. It had flasks of green and purple substance. As he ate the mysterious person thought to herself.

"I saw him running earlier, did he see me? I think so, I remember smelling his scent." She was thinking hard, she thinks she was running from her and to make sure she asked. "Little one what were you running from?" The child began to speak while swallowing the piece of bread in his mouth. "I saw a monster kill a group of people..." The child replied. "Holy shit that was me!" She thought to herself worried. "Did you know any of them and how did you see it?" She asked looking deeper into him. "I don't know any of them but I... I was so scared I ran. How I got there was by mistake, I wandered off from the guards that were leading me somewhere." He replied looking scared.

He finished his last piece of bread having that feeling of despair in him. He started crying again thinking about his parents. The mysterious person then patted his head and crouched down to his level.

"It's okay I'm not going to do anything to you." She said thinking that he was scared of her. "No, it's not that. Is that... My parents were executed and I don't know why. We did nothing bad." He responded while his face started to show more sadness "I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!" He screamed out crying.

The mysterious person then hugged him trying to call him down by humming a tune. The child felt caring arms around him similar to his mother's and he felt calmer. It only took him a minute to slow down his crying and his panic was completely gone. She let him go slowly, still crouching and he was still sniffing. He started wiping off his tears and as soon as he did the mysterious person asked.

"What is your name little one?" He stared at her calmly and said "My name is Damion" She then took off her hoodie to show her face. "My name is Siria!" She smiled.

She was a wolf beastfolk and he was surprised. He hasn't seen many beastfolk in his life so this was quite a revelation. He looked at her long dark blue hair and how it fits with her bluish-grey fur. He was starting to get soaked and she noticed that he was shivering due to how cold it was.

"Have any friends or relatives I can return you to? You're getting cold and I'll feel bad if you get sick." She was concerned for him putting her hand on his shoulders. "I don't have any friends. And I don't know if I have other family members." He said frowning with nowhere to go. "Nowhere to go? I can't leave a child here!" Siria thought long and hard until she came to a conclusion. "It is boring living by myself so why not?" "Little one, Would you like to live with me?" She asked nicely and the child looked up at her "Really?" He said with a confused look. "Of course. You have nowhere else to go and I can't just leave you plus It would be a nice change of pace with you around little one." She said smiling and the child was relieved knowing he does have something to look forward to. "Ok." She said smiling back at her.

Siria patted his head and when she stopped she stood up and stretched. Damion was calm again and he noticed Siria taking off her gloves after she was finished stretching. Her left hand had a symbol was on it engraved on her skin. She was relieved to take off the stuffy thick glove. Siria put her hands on Damion's shoulder with her right hand and raised her left. The symbol on her left hand started spinning and words popped around it. The same symbol appeared on the ground surrounding them both with a green glow. Green particles floated up in the air matching the nearby fireflies. The particles got brighter covering Damion's vision with a green light and he closed his eyes. Damion felt something covering his body, he felt his body shift quickly back and forth, up and down and the particles died down around them and the symbol shrank from under them. Siria then spoke.

"Were here little one!"

Damion opened his eyes to see a cabin in front of him. The cabin had a big flat area around it and it was surrounded by a forest. It was dark until Siria clapped her hands twice and all the lanterns in and out of the cabin lit up. Damion was very amazed by what just happened. He saw magic up close for the first time and he loved it forgetting what happened earlier temporally. Siria loved how fascinated he was and patted his head while messing with his wet brown hair. She then grabbed his hand and walked him to the porch. Damion looked around seeing how decorated the outside was. There was a nice small tree around the front yard and a stone road leading to the porch and the backyard. Siria went up to the front door that had a nice design and a lock. She then reached between her breasts to grab out a key. Siria unlocked the door and opened it showing Damion inside her home. She let go of his hands and he instantly started looking around the place. As he did Siria started taking off her gear. Damion found A fireplace in the Livingroom with a glass cabinet next to it with wine and liquor. He saw fresh wood that was ready to burn and a corkscrew on the shelf of the fireplace. He ran over to the kitchen area to see a table with two seats and no dishes in the sink. Siria somehow has a well-working plumbing wonder where she got it from. There were a few potted plants to give of a fresh atmosphere. As he explored Siria took off most of her gear. She had her cape straps and gloves on the ground and she clapped twice and they were gone. All she had now were her shirt, pants, and boots. She stretched again because it feels good to have all of that gear off her. Siria started to watch Damion and how amazed he was over everything. She admired it, Siria then went to the bathroom that was next to the living room and started the tub spout. She turned the nobs a bit and crunched to feet the water with her hands and it was warm. Just what she wanted, she stood back up and called Damion.

"Little one it's time for your bath!"
