Authors Note: Pretty standart beginning, no?

After 6 years that world changing event involving Kyle already started. His parents own a small farm out in the country roughly two sayd away from the next bigger town and once again the annual tax collection came. Sadly this years crops went bad and there was no way to get the money together.

So they sold off Kyle for the worth of 2 winters of provisions and were able to continue their merry living in their small paradise called farm.

Usually he would never be worth that much but since his appearance is already rare at his age they were able to bargain for more, although in the next bigger city the price for him is 100 times higher but thats just the way of the world. Living in Lundra means that having some weird races is nothing unusual but Kyle being half elf and half lamia makes him pretty rare.

The difference from him someone you might call normal are his longer clawlike fingernails and the fact that his arms and legs are covered in smooth scales that are very similar to usual skin with the exception being that they become really shiny when Kyle feels happy.

In the instance when his parents sold him they used this fact and let him have a nice meal during the work time for the first time while showing him to the slave trader. They didnt know about the condition and though the scales would always be shiny and paid more than usual but that was enough about Kyle being sold off now.

The next years of his life were spent happily serving some nobles. Somehow they do not seem to like him though. After being sold to a slave the first slave traders let him live very nice once they figured out his condition but after the first time being sold his scales never once again shined like they did before.

So now he serves some second rank noble whose family got rich by backstabbing many rich merchants and now suffer consequences after some of those got their revenge economically.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Everytime the noble family looks at him all they see is a dirty slave with a smile on his face and treat him like trash. Nothing unusual.

In Kyles 13. year it seems that the country he lived in, which name he does not even know anymore, has lost a huge war against the neighbouring country or kingdom, who cares. The bigger consequence for him is that this country does not tolerate slaves, so technically he is freed now.

As a 13 year old boy in a city you dont know and without any familiar ties to anyone by decision there were not many things he could do. So like most other kids he resorted to becoming a thief...

Nah, just a joke, i mean a slave who only obeys to everything he is said from his very childhood on would never dare to steal. Actually he sat on the street outside of the manour he lived in and was lost, physically and mentally.

A local trader who passes by every day to go to the market then decides to step up to him after a whole week. He noticed that Kyle did not move a single bit in this whole week and was able to see the very change of him becoming more and more pale and malnourished.

Kyle did not even answer after being asked if he wants to join the trader but just stands up and follow him.

This was the start of his first real family for the following years. After some time he started to speak a bit more and works for the trader in the market sometime and learned to read and write and some simple maths for the task of being able to trade there should the trader, whose name is Jack, be ill or need to attend somewhere else.

But during all this time Kyle did not once shine, his emotions flat and his scales dull.
