Awakened Souls - Chapter 1 - Little Ratorre

The night was cold and harsh. A young boy stood near the entrance of the castle, hoping to get inside. He shivered, and put up his hood. He saw two knights, guarding the entrance.

He started to climb a wall close to the gate. No one seemed to notice him, so he continued on.

The boy found his way to an open window, to a room that was empty. He climbed through and sneaked throughout the castle. Soon, he found his way to a room full of gems. Bingo, He thought.

There were signs of some shuffling upstairs, and Ezekiel didn’t know what to think of it. He started to make his way upstairs. Meanwhile, the young boy was shoving gems into his pockets greedily, filling them up all the way. Ezekiel bursted into the room.

“Aha! So it was you, you little rat,” He exclaimed. “Identify yourself now.”

The boy responded, “I’m Malachi Ratorre.”

“Malachi Ratorre, eh? You’re the one who’s been wanted for weeks,” Ezekiel said. Malachi looked around the room, trying to think of an escape route.

“Well, you’re not going anywhere, young man.” Ezekiel grabbed him and starting dragging him straight to the dungeon.
