Alteria

A narrow, shadowy alleyway in the heart of the city, filled with the echoes of laughter and cries of despair. The ground is littered with scraps of food and broken toys, remnants of a childhood stolen by hardship. Here, a group of ragged children, abandoned and desperate, survive by thieving from passersby and resorting to violence when necessary. Their eyes are hollow, reflecting a life of struggle, yet they band together for protection and companionship in this unforgiving environment. They often fight to the death though...

The alley is dimly lit, with high walls covered in graffiti and the stench of refuse lingering in the air. Makeshift beds of rags and cardboard are scattered about, and the faint sound of scuffling feet can be heard as the children dart in and out of the shadows.
