It all happened so fast, too fast. Lost in his thoughts, even the spell could not be heard. Recollections of the past, each notable moments he remembered. Dumbfounded, never once he tought of anything else other than reuniting with Rain.
"I did this... damn it!" the screaming of a temple slave echoes throughout the mountain, awakening it's king.
As an orphan, he's been forced to join a local gang, although rough and strict it followed a code. Not exactly family friendly but good enough to help him survive.
From searching for scraps to volunteering in delivering synthpaste. Anything than could earn Sunny money was invested in shelter and food for the gang, this was the reason Sunny survived the outskirts for more than a year. This is the code every member must follow.
The leader, although not exactly smart has survived knowing what truly is necessary. People can't survive alone, on this cursed world. So by helping each other form a home everyone would also benefit.
Yet Sunny has other plans, after the orphanage lost most of its money from a robbery the children along with Sunny was forced to venture the outskirts just to survive.
A person from the government arrived, as sunny was delivering synthpaste his legs and arms burning with exhaustion, he hasn't rested throughout the day.
"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful..." He is in awe, not everyday one meets a Master.
As Sunny realize who the person was, he immediately wanted to know about his sister, knowing she has the answers.
"Silly kid, I'm just average. You look a bit better than I was." She replied with sincerity, knowing her background is from the outskirts she knew better how hard living in the outskirts was.
"Can you help me find my sister?" Sunny didn't entertain her question about his looks. He didn't care, he knew what he wants and that is his sister.
"Unfortunately, I have more work to do but I know someone. I'll send him here tomorrow kid, I promise."
With that she left after talking with the people who work on making the synthpaste. As Sunny waves his hand to the Master, he was too focused on tomorrow that he has discarded the words of goodbye from the Master.
Then tomorrow came, A man from the government arrived just with his attitude alone he wasn't sociable.
"Im here again in the outskirts, I'm not even paid much for this. Fuck this! Wait... she'll kill me if I leave." The man remained and started looking, walking closer to a kid with pale complexion.
Sunny naturally has a pale skin yet when combined with malnutrition it wasn't ideal for his feminine look. Looking more shriveled than most outskirt kids. Although the Master yesterday understands how Sunny would look like as a healthy kid.
Sunny offered money to compensate the man she sent today. Relieving his mood knowing his complain about money.
The man helped him to look for Rain, his mood elevated. Even he needed money being a mundane he didn't have much options in life.
The device he carried is specifically for identifying and managing people, without it the ever increasing population would be in chaos.
The man had a problem, accessing high profile individuals in the government wasn't possible. Although he could try and hack the system he might get punished.
Sunny wasn't sure what was the problem but knew this opportunity might never come again. So he used the money he stole from the orphanage to beg the man to continue finding his sister.
