A three year old boy looked to his parents as he hid under the stairs. A strange man had come into the family's house, and his parents had told him to go hide. The man was yelling very loudly for something. The boy's parents didn't give up, and yelled for him to run. So he did. Out the backdoor, into the streets. Back at the house, the sounds of two gunshots were heard. A half an hour later, the two adults, Patty and Thomas Molm, where announced dead at the scene, and their young son Nicholas was assumed kidnapped.

Nicholas, now going by the name Ne'tra, which he had read meant "black" in some old language, looked around at his surroundings. The 7 year old was cold and tired, but 4 years on the streets had taught him anything, this place was a bad area for homeless kids to be in. The kid had run into a few people telling him to go to somewhere called "Underworld". Ne'tra didn't know what that was, but with the amount of people looking for the place told him it might be nicer than where ever the hell he was. So for two whole weeks he had been searching for the place, and now he was back where he started. The boy sighed, and then spoke. "Where is this place? Everyone talks about it, but it is impossible to find!" Just then a voice spoke up behind him, "What are you looking for there?" Ne'tra spun, cocked his fist back, and prepared to punch. But what he saw made him drop his fist. It was a man, with a coffee mug, grey hair, and glasses, in a nice coat. The man asked a different question this time, "Are you looking for Underworld?" Ne'tra then spoke in awe, "A-are you a mind reader?" The man laughed, "No, it just seems someone like yourself would be searching for it." "C-can you lead me there?" the boy asked, still a bit intimidated. The man made a hand motion of 'follow me' and turned. Ne'tra looked around, then followed. Hopefully this place was better than the streets.
They ended up on a street Ne'tra had never seen before. It looked old, like from the early years of Vale, during the ban on alcohol for a year (he had learned that by asking someone, he had no time to go to school). The man turned to a door and knocked. Another man opened the door. "Ozpin! Long time no see!" The first man, Ozpin, chuckled "Johnathan, unfortunately I am not hear to chat. I found this young man" Ozpin gestured to Ne'tra "looking for Underworld, and was wondering if you would take him in." The other man, Johnathan, looked at him, then back to Ozpin "Yeah, sure. He looks like a good kid. Call him over." But at that point, the boy was already there. "Hi" was all he had managed to say, before Ozpin left. Johnathan looked at him, shivering in the cold, "Hey, come inside. I'll get some soup ready. Hey, what's your name" The boy looked at him. "Ne'tra. My name is Ne'tra."
