A ten-year-old child running holding a piece of bread in his hand. moving left and right crossing every person that comes in his way.
The street was alive, filled with a crowd, noises on both sides were shops, and people were buying and selling things.
But, it doesn’t stop his tiny fast-moving legs, he is experienced in this, people would not interfere, because they don’t want to bully such a cute child.., they pity him.
He recently learned the meaning of this world, he understands it, after all, he also pities someone, it was a boy whose mother died, he was crying so he saw, he felt very bad for him later, he understands people feel the same toward him.
But, those fools don’t know he wasn’t like him. I have Mama.
"Drum! Dram! Dram!" Soon, he began to hear, drumming and saw a guy shouting while beating a drum.
"The Great King of Bangdala gives three crowns to the church in respect to the great gods!"
He prayed today for the well-being of the kingdom, for his citizens, and for the whole Tartarus. So wars would stop, crops would grow better and more abundant, and no citizen would starve..."
"Ah, my ears hurt!" He moved past the drumming guy and turned left.
"Thief!"
"Thief! theif! thief!, which way is that kid running with bread, go?!" A big 6.2 feet tall man with a big tummy and a heavy sweating body asked the drum man.
The drum man pointed at the street left. " That way."
The heavy body and heavy breaths quickly moved and turned left. Keep running shouting. "Theif!. theif! Theif...
When the voice dissipated, a cute innocent-looking kid with a little mud on his face came out from a wooden barrel which was placed close to the wall.
"hahaha.." He happily took a bite from the bread in his hand, which he had taken from that big guy’s shop.
Leaving his life-saving barrel behind, the kid walked back in the direction from which he came, and he walked to the same shop from which he had taken the bread.
"Kid, are you the new thief in this area.’’
’’ No, I’m not a thief. I’m an angel." Victor looked at the old man, who was sitting on wood in front of the next shop. He had seen him before, when he took the bread. He also pitied me, yeah pity me fool and let me eat.
Focusing back on sweat, he licked his lips and began to fill his mouth with it.
"Angel? Okay, kid don’t lie. If the church hears it won’t be as easy as shaking off that fat guy."
He started munching on sweets. "I’m not lying, my ghost sister told my mother to call me that."
"I see, you’re sick... God may bless and cure you kid ’’
He gulped the sweet into his little tummy.
"I’m not sick, old man, you’re speaking nonsense..., aa! That guy came back’’ he hugged as many pieces of bread as he could in his little arms, before dashing his way.
His name is Victor, he lives in this world called Tartarus. but his mother doesn’t live in this world.
That’s what his ghost sister told him.
She said that they were from a different world, that is, the other side of the some Rift.
He doesn’t know what Rift is, he never saw one..
He didn’t understand most of the things she said. But he understands one thing clearly that he has a mother, like other kids he also has a mother, she is just far away he just has to go there and find her.
But, he doesn’t know the way..., so he would find his Ghost sister’s place first, she said she can’t come to find him because she is a princess and the evil king trapped her in the castle., he would free her from the evil king first then they would look together for his mother and her sister.
’’Victor, what’re you doing’’
" Ah!" he heard her. "Oh, Ghost sister you’re here.’’
’’Yeah, but where’re you going and why are you carrying so much bread?’’
Victor smiled. "I took it from the shop.’’
"Why do you take it so many, what I told you before.’’
"But I can eat all’’
"Dummy, your little tummy’s gonna hurt.’’
"I will eat slowly, it’s for way, I’m coming to find you after all..’’
"It’s gonna take you years to reach where I am, and it’s very dangerous for a little kid like you to travel alone. Go back to the orphanage.’’
"No! I’m not going back, I will find you in no time..’’
"Listen to me, Victor..."
"No, you are in this direction, right.’’ Victor said, looking at the front, he remembered it, always sunset in this direction.
"I should not have told you.., listen to me like a good boy you can’t do anything even after you find me, you can’t meet me there are very strong people guarding my castle.
I will freeze them and take you away..’’
Stop being stubborn, be a good boy and listen to me.’’
"no..’’

Why is he being so stubborn?
In her room, sitting on big soft bed, A 10-year-old girl pulled her crimson hair. She felt really frustrated, don’t she know how dangerous is this.
Does he only listen to his mother? Or I didn’t raise him well.
No, I never met him face-to-face. So, it’s not my fault, he became rebellious. I’m sure I would teach him better if he were with me, since he was born.
Emilia doesn’t know why he forgot his past life or why she remembered it, she should have forgotten too even if something life after life like this really exists, right?
Yet she remembers everything very clearly.
Like Victor, she also wants to meet her sister, she also wants to go find the rift that would lead back to the Eertha..
Alas, she can’t leave this castle, no princes, or princesses can leave it. They doesn’t have their father’s permission for that....
