Prologue

Ever since your mother and father died due to Tuberculosis, you and your little brother have been living on stolen goods for the past 6 months. You were even given a name amongst the city, and even Lord Shadow as "The Navy Cloak", but none of that mattered to you. You only thought of trying to keep your brother alive, but always wondered if it would be better for him to have a new family where he would be able to live his life as a child instead of a possible fugitive. You end up slipping and get caught while trying to hide, but it wasn't a guard... Who was that mystery man, and why did he look like Lord Shadow?
