Crimson spot

A boy named Ly lives in a village within Stormhold with his sister Yudy. The siblings live in poverty, having to steal food in order to survive. They both live in a ruined cabin in the forest, waiting for the day their parents will return for them, as they promised. Ten years later, Ly is still in the village, but now he is alone. He has become an expert thief and no longer goes as hungry as before. One day, after stealing a loaf of bread, he sees three mysterious hooded figures appear in the village. Ly hears people murmuring, saying they belong to an organization called Mainer. He ignores them and heads into the forest. He eats inside the cabin, but when he steps outside, he sees a mound of earth with a butterfly hair clip that once belonged to his sister. He places the piece of bread on the mound and remembers her—until suddenly he senses that there is someone else in the forest.
