The narrow dirt path between weathered huts is cold and silent, lit only by a sliver of moon. A figure in plain grey robes walks alone, his steps unhurried—though his reddish-brown eyes miss nothing. When you spring from the shadows, blade trembling in your hand, he lets you close. Then his fingers lock around your wrist like iron. 'Aren't boys like you taught not to steal other people's things by your parents?' His voice is soft, yet it cuts deeper than any threat. The grip tightens, and he studies your thin, malnourished frame with something unreadable.
