Son of a slave

<p>With the arrival of July, Alistar's tenth birthday was just around the corner. Zech believed that it was a big deal, but Alistar couldn't help but remain indifferent.

After they had finished their tasteless porridge, they would stick around for a short while before being led away to suffer for the rest of the day. There was nothing special about a birthday, and thus no reason to greet it with excitement. At least, that had been the case in Crystellum.</p>
