There were 3 orcs riding wolf hunting for a little boy. The little boy were running as fast as he could until he stumbled upon a tree with a small hollow in it. He immediately hide in those small hollow with his little body. Those 3 orcs stops and searching as they lost the tracks of that little boy.

“Now, where is that little runt?” said one of the orc with a huge body and scar face.

“Don’t tell me we lost him do we?” he said angrily as he looked at two orcs that are with him.

The two orcs were scared and almost pissed themselves. They looking at each other and search the area quickly but to no avail. They lost the little boy. They were scared to report to the huge orcs that they has lost that little boy. They approach the huge orcs with a pale face terrified of getting maul with a mace.

“B-Boss…” one the orcs speak up with a shattered voice.

“WHAT?!!!” the huge orcs looked at them with an angry face.

“Hieee!!!” the two orcs were terrified.

“W-We weren’t able to fin…” as the orc trying to tell the truth to the huge orcs there were loud sound of horn calling for the orcs.

“Tch, lucky little runt. Forget about him let’s go back.” The huge orc said with an irritated face.

“Aye Boss.” The two orcs said as they feeling relief that they had nearly escaped death.

Those three orcs ride the wolf far away from the area and gone. As the orcs were gone, the little boy that hiding in the hollow of tree came out of that tree as he gasping for air. He looked left and right for the orcs but there were none. He feel relief. He looked for the tracks of the orcs from which they went. Then, he walk in the opposite direction as he scared to meet them again. After a long walk, he found a river. He then took the opportunity to drink some water to sates his thirst from the previous running from the orcs. He follow the flow of the river until he found a small town.

The town were busy with a lots of traders and adventurers. There were a lot of weapon being sold in the market. Swords, bows, magic staff and many more. None of them were catching his attention as his eye were glued to a stuffed animals that is on display.

“Oh, have you come here to buy one of our finest goods young man?” said an old man selling the item. The little boy just shaking his head but his eye still glued to the stuffed animals. The old man looking at the little boy with displeased as the little boy wearing a very tattered cloth. He then wonder if this little boy had money or just a thief.

“Listen here boy, if you come here just to cause trouble I suggest you not to do it. It will end badly for you.” said that old man with a slightly angry voice.

“Well it won’t end badly for him if the stuffed were paid, right?” a voice coming from behind that little boy.

He then look behind him a girl with tall figure, slender and simply beautiful. Red hair with a silky white face and dark eyes. She is wearing a light armour. She lean over slightly towards the little boy.

“Do you have money little boy?” she ask.

That boy nod his head.

“Well if you have the money you can pay for the stuff right?” she ask.

That boy shake his head.

“What do you mean you can’t pay for it?” her eyebrows knitted.

“You don’t have to care for this little boy young lady. He probably lying about having money too. He just want to steal something. I’m sure of it.” The old man snorted.

“You don’t know this boy circumstances do you? Here’s the gold for the stuffed animals.” Said the girl with slightly angry voice as she handed over the gold.

“Th-Thank you.” said the old man with a slight regret.

The girl then handed the stuff animals over to the boy. He just shake his head but the girl being persistent and he has no other choice but to accept it.

“If you had money, why you don’t want to pay for the stuff?” she ask.

He just look at the girl and pointed his finger to one of the stall in the market. It was a medicine stall.

“Are you sick?” she’s curious.

That boy shake his head.

“Then, one of your family member were sick?” she guess.

That boy nod his head.

“Ok then I’ll pay it for you.” she hurriedly walking toward the stall.

That boy then grabbed the girl clothes and she looked at the boy. That boy shake his head.

“Oh you don’t want me to pay for it huh?” the girl said.

That boy nod his head. He then showed the stuff animals to the girl and smile.

“Ah, so you thankful with just the stuff animals huh? I get it. You a cute little boy you know that?” she said as she pat his head.

After buying the medicine that boy turn around and walk with the girl. She were staring at that little boy as he has a small figure with white hair, blue eyes and cute face. She then can’t help but pondered where this little boy came from as this small town pack with adventurers and traders. There were small numbers of villagers that willing to live in this town unless they has some sort of business here.

“Ya know, there is small chances of a normal villages living in Lipur Town as it full of adventurers and dangerous that they brought with them. So where are you from?” she ask.

That boy smile and pointed towards the mountain behind the town.

“W-Whoa!!! Really? That’s one of the dangerous mountain that people rarely go. It’s dangerous even for adventurers. You’re not joking are you?” her eyebrows knitted as she worries about this little boy.

He looked at her and nod his head. She were surprised and just shake her head accepting reality.

“Can I accompany you to your home?” she ask as she was curious of this little boy.

He nodding his head.

After following the river flow and took a route in the dark forest in the mountain.

“Ya know, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Rose. What is yours? ” she ask.

He then pointed upward.

“Huh? Is it Cloud?” she ask.

He shake his head.

“Is it Sky?” she ask.

He nodding his head.

“Ah, I see. Your name is Sky huh.” she accept.

After hours of walking. She stumbled across some sort of old village that already destroyed. She just look left and right of the eerily scenery as he followed the little boy. That boy then stop in front of an old shag. He then open the doors and enter the shag. She enters the shag and saw a little girl bedridden and an old woman sitting on a chair. She was looking at the old woman as she was familiar looking. She then surprised as she caught a glimpsed of a familiar medallion.

“Wait, you can’t be. Aren’t you Marsa? The Mighty Mage?” she ask eyes wide open.
