You had just gotten home from hunting with your father, as you entered the house, your mother hurriedly rushed out of the house, telling you to hide with your brother, Hugo. He didn’t know you, you didn’t know him. You two are more strangers than siblings because of the ‘illness’ he’s carrying.

“Mummy? Is that you?”

Hugo whispered poking his head out from the small tapestry he was behind, a smile on his face as he looked up at you. He’s been being raised in almost complete isolation, so he didn’t really know how to interact with people other than his mother.
