In a town called Barracks, although surrounded by two green and beautiful mountains, and further complimented by the occasional sun which rises and sets, there is desolation and utter misery. Many houses are desolate and just in utter ruin. Ceilings of an incomprehensible amount of houses were sliding off. Due to the fact they were primitive and without a strong foundation, one could suggest that they could fall apart at any moment. The people were struck heavily by hunger and each individual seems to be extremely weak due to the lack of resources and necessities. Some called this is great Victorian Era, where England had a mass amount of control and power. Controlling a large number of countries and even land, they enforced a rule that everyone must pay a wage to survive. Children included. Down by the docks next to few ships, there appear to be children who are forced to work like slaves and are carrying cargo. Yet inside a room within one of the ships, there a boy and a girl said:

"The Great World." a boy said.

"You're still into those kiddy stories huh?" a girl responded while rubbing the boy's head.

"Stop! I'm serious, the Great World is real!" The boy responded.

"Sure, whatever you say!" The girl responded while laughing.

The boy who spoke was named Mari, and the girl who talked was named Sharry.

"You know I don't believe in all those fantasies, Mari," Sharry said while smirking.

"But haven't you heard of the stories of the Earth in general? That it has vast oceans, and mountains and plains far as the eye can see! The skies and even how the mountains reach up to the heavens, no one knows how far or wide the earth is. Not to talk of the Great World! Some say it's a place and some say it's heaven itself! But, one day I want to explore-" Mari attempted to say but was cut off by Sharry who said:

"SHHH! Are you crazy?! You know what happens to children who say they want to explore the earth! Remember what happened to the previous boy, he got shot in the leg cause he asked if there is something beyond the sea!" she whispered to him while smacking his head.

"OW! What are you doing?!" Mari said.

"I'm saving your scrawny ass, that's what I'm doing!" Sharry said while laughing again.

"Also Mari, you don't even have to believe all these stories. We're slaves. No one has truly explored all the earth let alone even seen a glimpse of the Great World." Sharry said while folding her arms and looking towards the ceiling.

"But he's right!" a voice called out in the back.

Leaping out of a heap of boxes, the boy jumped out and began laughing.

"Ahh, it is you again!" Mari said angrily.

"Hehe." the boy chuckled.

"H-Hey, what were you doing in that heap of boxes?!" Mari asked.

"I was eating." the boy chuckled.

"HEY, KID! WHERE'S MY SHARE?!" Sharry demanded aggressively.

"ARE YOU GUYS STUPID?! HE WAS EATING!" Mari yelled in terror.

Mari looked again and noticed:

"NO, YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE EATING-" Mari said while grabbing his shirt in terror.

"That's our Master's food supply, i...if anyone was to eat it they'd be killed-"

"OI! Was goin' on their mates?!" a voice from the back called out.

Sharry and Mari were in utter terror as one of the men found out the three of them sitting inside a room, hiding from their duties. These children were slaves.
