Chapter 2

Kyle decided to leave their home, because he knew the house would be sold. That baka would sell it and Kyle knew it.

#I'll train very hard to avenge my parents, but I can't take him on now, so I'll leave#, he thought.

Sheila didn't ask him anything, but took her teddybear and walked towards the graves.

"Don't worry, mum and dad, I'll listen to Kyle." After these words she turned around and walked over to her brother, who grabbed her hand. Together they walked towards the sinking sun. Heaven should know where that could take them. So they left their homeplace Terraia, a little village near the coast. Kyle decided to travel to the city Casai, a huge town with over 20 million people.

He explained: "I've got to take care of you now, so I'll have to find a job. We won't live nice and nor will we have much food, so don't complain."

Sheila nodded. "I understand, but why can't I work? I'm old enough."

"I know, so I've found a perfect job for you. You have a cute face, so I'm sure people will give you money if you ask for it. You'll learn soon enough how to be convincing."

"You want me to BEG?", she asked, while she looked at Kyle in horror.

"Listen Sheila. Do you want to live?", he said as he shook her. She nodded again and they saw a large amount of lights appear in the dark night. The sky was bright and the stars were spread out like crumbles over their kitchen table back at home. Suddenly Kyle saw a shooting star and he pointed at it to show his sister. They both wished in silence their parents could return.

Casai was a city of commerce, the city of the rich and the poor. Too many children with hollow eyes and their pathetic thin bodies. Kyle looked at them in compassion and hoped they wouldn't look like that ever. He looked at them in horror, while the rich people just ignored them.

"They make me sick!", Sheila pointed at the rich in disgust. "How can they just ignore them."

"You took the words right out of my mouth. But they seem to believe something doesn't exist if you don't see it.", Kyle replied. "First we have to found ourselves a place for the night." They soon found a back alley with a few trashcans. They built a little roof with trash, so they could remain dry. It was the only empty place and it looked quite comfortable, for as far as you could call it that way.

"What's that?", Sheila asked her brother while she was pointing at a shadow.

"I'm Jed", a voice in the dark said. A boy with dark brown, curling hair and green eyes stepped into the light. He seemed to be like 17 years old and he talked with a funny accent. He was very friendly, and he asked Kyle to talk with him.

"It's a very rough world, boy. If you both want to survive you'll have to be tough. I'll teach you how to earn money in short time. Easily...", Jed said.

"Why are you helping us?", Kyle asked.

"Because I recognize myself in you. The way I once were. Now let's go. I'll make you meet Ithalasia. He'll help you."

Kyle didn't know what kind of job Jed meant, but it should be better than living on the streets.
