His name is Sabrathan, his mother named him after an ancient sky dragon, Sabathon The Wise. He lived with Rahmiel, his mother who her mother named her after one of the 10 Great Angels in the Thamrel religion. Sabrathan always lived a blissful life, he was used to running on the street with the other kids and playing tag and hide-and-boo. But after his father died protecting Rahmiel who was about to be kidnapped by the slave merchant, Sabrathan and Rahmiel had no choice but to run away, leaving his father with a sword pierced his chest, then burned while conscious because the candle’s oil spilt over the floor, and there was a magician who used fire magic only to show off his power.
He were never buried properly, he was cremated inside their own house, while Sabrathan and Rahmiel have no time to grief but to keep running away. And at the end, they already ended up in the slum district of Brelas city, the capital of Ragna Empire, which was led by Emperor Purandar Conomor von Helian.
“Tis’s not enough, ya brat!”
He raised his right leg and swung it to Sabathran’s belly.
Stomp
“Ah! I-am sorry! I’ll make sure! I’ll make sure to fill today’s quota tomorrow! I beg yo-“
Stomp
“Ugh!” Sabathran who was standing is now kneeling while holding his hurt belly.
Sabatrhan is currently being scolded by his superiors for not filling the quota for today’s pickpocketing.
He grabbed Sabathran’s hair, “Listen, brat. I don’t care how, when, or what. Ya don’t fill me quotas, ya feel me kicks. Ya catch it?”
His muscular and big body intimidates Sabathran, making him shiver and tremble in fear.
“Ye-yes, please, let me go. I need the drug for my mother,” Sabathran holds his superior’s hand and begs for a certain drug.
“No quota, no drug fo’ today.”
Sabathran is speechless. He lowers his dignity and pride equal to that of an animal, licking his superior shoes to clean them and beg like a dog only to ask mercy and that certain drug. The humiliation he receives from the glares of the other in this room is too high for a kid his age.
