Looking at Noah’s body, 7881f15bff I involuntarily frowned. There were both recent ab5003134a wounds and old scars, b00a7e1c6f but none of them 9549d49aa5 seemed appropriate for a 43980fa4c9 child to bear.d63a295952bfb3cf

As Noah 248de8f259 stepped into 6d82c484f6 the water e73d9c88b1 to wash b9c8899523 off the f96cfe01cf blood, I ef5f11703c tried to 543031e8e9 hide my 43a293a2c9 discomfort and 8c26c0c9cd asked him.1eceb2dc560f63f5

I couldn’t help f4cc330c1b but let out db649c3c7a a sigh. He looked 54e83b0ffd so young 96ca8aa097 and thin, 38911c026e I thought 3700962ada he was f4a45732ca around 10, 380b28ae2a but he’s 80f84bb9c3 actually fifteen. That’s middle school e3daca28c9 age by modern caf0451f3c standards. He looked 41e156b554 nothing like c82542b831 the kids fccfb01067 I knew ad03e60299 at that 337195616c age.616bb41d54453e13

The fact that 23634dba23 such a young 01aea38e55 kid had been 03f799c843 used as a 4e887ec7fa Gladiator Slave was ff0fd583d4 infuriating enough, but a8f5ed90b9 knowing that he 01c35ddb70 hadn’t been fed 5863781147 properly only added 43a339dd87 to my wrath.

As a child, I 16c3fd9585 had hoped for a 1bad1e74c6 kind of guardian angel 44ba3a1688 to appear in my 04b46d396f life, but life didn’t b854a89edb work out so easily, d20f796ec1 and I had to 76e25e4ffc stand up on my 3bc7f3b3a6 own.
