Prologue:The Child and the Knight

It was a bustling place,large and tall wooden buildings and establishments can be seen,market stalls line the road selling varius products such as foods and other doodads,the stalls are staffed with varius people or in a better term bug people,they come in many sizes some small some the size of giants,shapes which comes in smooth rounds or hard spikes,colors and species in which some are scary whilst some are outstandingly beautifull.They all go about theyre days browsing through the products each stall offers,some carried their young,some with their friend or even lovers,then...

*Boom!*a sudden explosion erupts from a distance sending some stalls sheet covers and there boons flying,some dust wash over the area as people began to flee the scene screaming then from the cloud of dust blitz out a tall figure in a black tattered robe followed by others who appears to be guards obvius by their uniforms of green,they followed the figure as some of them flew fast with wings similar to a locust

"Catch them!dont let them get away!"shouted a tall men wearing a darker green uniform,his face that of a human with short brown hair but with two wide mandibles for a jaw.Meanwhile the hooded figure runs towards the panicking crowd running and weaving through them seemingly to blend in,the guards followed from above while a few who cant fly tries to push through the crowd themselves.They unfurtunately failed and lost the hooded figure through the crowd as it entered a secluded part of the market where its hard to watch over from above.

On a dark alley away from the still shammbling crowd of people walks the tall hooded figure,his robe ragged with cuts,burned ends and ripped parts over its layers,they leaned on the wooden wall sliding down with their back pressed on the wall behind some stacked crates,they raised an arm clad in charcoal black exoskeleton seemingly opening there robe,then pops out another arm but much smaller in contrast to the first with pale smooth exoskeleton stopping by the elbow,then another of the same followed by a small head covered with long white hair,it crawled out and stood with its small stature just barely the same height of the sitting hooded figure.It appears to be a small female child wearing a white robe wrapped around her,she reaches out to tuck her hair behind her ears showing her pale face with two little nubs on her forehead like a tiny horn,what stood out tho is her eyes thats seemed blank with thought and her pinkish pupils
