The beginning of a trio of friends who would never abandon each other.
After a family tragedy, Cantionis and the boys leave the Island in fear for their safety.
After the few years in unease spent with Duke Gladstone, Cantionis' father, the trio decides they've finally had enough and make a run for the mainlands.
Through the help of a caring school board member, the trio is allowed access to schooling despite their financial struggles, with free benefits.
