Life was good for Theodore Harvey. To him the world was a remote corner of Mysidia, but it was his world and he was its prince. With few other children, and none as young as he, he was the village's darling child, even despite his family being such obvious outsiders.
He had a loving parents: a smiling mother and caring father. He had to share them now, true, but Theodore preferred to think of what fun they would have, he and his younger brother. His parents had promised it would be, once the baby was old enough.
He couldn't wait.
