Prologue

She was standing in complete darkness. The only thing she knew was that she could hear a dripping sound. But there was something else too. Sobs - the sobs of a child.

Robin turned her head in the direction of the crying. Who else could be in such a place? Slowly but determinedly she walked straight toward the source of the sounds and abruptly stopped.

Huddled and wounded a little boy wiped weakly. His blond hair was scrubby and on a streak next to his temple was scarlet red blood. But even if the little boy seemed hurt and lonely, Robin just couldn't bring herself to approach him, not to mention console him. But she didn't have to because the boy seemed to notice somebody was watching him. He briskly turned around showing his appalled face. His in fear widened eyes reflected Robins own loneliness.

"Wh…Who are you?'', he asked with a trembling voice, although there was also a slight hint of anger in it, "what do you want from me? Do you want to insult me? Tell me that I'm a monster too? Are you going to hurt me?!"

Anybody that would have known Robin well enough, would have seen how she flinched slightly when the boy mentioned the word "monster". Unfortunately there wasn't anybody anymore in this accursed world to know her this well.

She had been robbed of everything and was made an outlaw by the government. She too had been called a monster and as such she had to be as cold as ice in order to survive. As she didn't respond to his question the boy stood up and glared at her, a challenging look in his eyes instead of fear.

Finally, after an eternity of silent observation she retorted to his questions: "Who I am is none of your business. I don't have the intention to harm you. So you shouldn't bother about it kid."

The child's reaction was unexpected. He furiously stamped on the ground while his finger on her. "Don't call me "kid"! After all I'm the next Hokage!"

Robin started to wonder. She had never heard of a "Hokage", a fireshadow, so far. If it had appeared in one of the history books she surely would have remembered it. But now she began to notice something else. This child was talking in one of the old languages. One of those that went lost with the time and the Poneglyphs. She just couldn't believe that somebody else could have mastered it.

"Who…", she began to ask but was cut off by the roar of an animal - maybe the howl of a true monster. She felt as if her eardrum was about to ripped apart. Just like her the little boy clutched his hands on his ears and strained his face in pain. A strong wind began to blow and felt how her feet lift off the ground and she lost consciousness.
