A/N: I have an idea for a long present era story. But it has a big background and is AU. So I found some prompts and started writing some one shots to create a background. I don't know if I will ever write the actual story.

* Beginnings *


Liam didn't think much of the outside world. At thirteen he didn't have much to think about. People came and left so many times, but it didn't bother him. It was just the way of things and no one important to him had ever come or gone. Until one morning someone did.

A sweet baby faced boy maybe a year older – a year younger? He walked past Liam's father's linen shop. He was skinny and had rosy cheeks from the morning air. He was carrying a goat around his neck and there was a small tan mutt following behind him. He slowed as he walked by. He turned about as he walked by so that he could keep his gaze on Liam.

Limply in one hand, Liam was holding a broom; he had been sweeping. He raised his other hand slightly - a wave. The young lad smiled, nodded his head. Liam watched him until he turned the corner.

Liam had never seen the young man before. Although, he didn't know everyone in town, he was sure this one came from another world. That boy made his mind stray to so many exotic places.
