A city in the moonlight ; birched at its peak were the skyscrapers and marvels that attracted the attention of the tourists nearby.
In the east there was ILINDOR , an area that was set for the high income receivers , in the west dawned the middle , and the rest was just about the same with little to none differences.

Ashuria City —ILINDOR — Frost Estate
***
(Litei 's Pov)
Returning to the continent brought back unwanted memories , the times we constantly moved from place to place in the years we lived here were too many to count.
I was leaning on the balcony of the second floor .
The sight at the end of my eye was breathtaking , and after a few moments of admiring it I began to face my current dilemma.
I had no clothes in my bag.
"Huuu.." , letting out a sigh I resigned myself to find some before my parents arrived.
Thinking back , I had been in many situations like this , such were my thoughts as I walked down the staircase.
After closing the front door of the house I proceeded to conspicuously exit the estate without anyone noticing me .
***
Within Ashuria's streets , it was a sight to behold ; pavements were polished to the glint of sparkle , structures with amazing designs , and the walkways beautifully lit with street lamps.
To Litei , this was more like a utopia from the books he read than reality. Currently he was locked in a series of paces around the corner of the estate. Without thinking it through , he had left before making sure that he had the resources required for what he needed to do.
And his current dilemma....
He had no money.
Most of the time he would get chauffeured to wherever he wanted to go during their time overseas. So after many years of the habit he had forgotten the essence of the need for money.
Fluttering his ginger-red hair , a thought occured to him but it meant that his plans were no longer to be a secret. Resolving to take the risk , Litei turned around and began walking back the way he came.
*
Squeak_!.
Just as he neared the entrance , at the corner of his emerald eyes spotted a brilliant flash of light as two figures emerged from a portal. They were none other than his father and mother.
Panicking , he retreated away from the entrance . Unfortunately for him , as he thought that he had swiftly evaded them noticing him , he still felt the hairs at the back of his neck stand up .
'Talk about bad timing!?'
They weren't supposed to be there yet.
That much he knew to be the case but he could more so piece it together , he took slow , deep breaths in order to calm himself . Still he couldn't let the feeling of danger go.
Although he had conjured up a preferably solid reason for his parents to have gotten there earlier than expected, the feeling that was nagging at him was hard to ignore.
Putting that aside...
He had failed.
He had planed to return inside and borrow some money from the staff with the promise of returning it double time once he got his allowance while also requesting an alibi for him to be missing during dinner time while also making this hush-hush from his parents.
However with their sudden return....
It all went down the drain.
"Hmmm."
'If I can somehow get past the guards gate then maybe....'
What he thought was if he somehow managed to get near the back of the house then he could use the emergency staircase and reach the second floor before they did.
There was one problem with this plan.
His bodyguard.
Before he had gotten too far , the sound of the portal opening up again echoed to his ears alongside with the particularly loud voice of the head of security for the Frost Household.
That man was unrivalled when it came to security due to his abilities mainly falling in the body focus. It was for this reason that doubt started to look over his thoughts.
Hhmm!.
Hhmm!.
Hhmm!.
In his pocket a vibrating sound made Litei 's anxiety increase , the buzzing sound repeated for a few more minutes until he finally relented.
Reaching into his pocket , he took out a small orb-shaped device.
It was nothing special , besides the well polished transparent colour and staring at it and the word displayed on the surface he knitted his brows together as sweat ran down the side of his cheek .
It was his name , shortly after seeing it displayed on the communication device , the orb Litei had in his hand faded into starry black and out oulf the dark colour it had taken a face appeared on its display.
The image on the orb wasn't actually a face but a figure with his back turned in an outdoor environment. He was confused ; who did he know who looked like that , he leaned closer to analyze the surroundings around the figure , then they moved.
At that moment a realization came to Litei as he suddenly glanced behind him on top of the hedge , turning his head back he knew that there were....
No more plans .
No more escape routes.
He was trapped , from the moment he had panicked his fate was sealed , he had wasted time thinking about a way out the predicament he had gotten in . He had a knack for those kinds of situations .
But now....
There was no...Escape.
