Dark Light (Prototype)

«Once upon a time, a little homeless boy lived in a cardboard box in a small town far, far away. He was very poor, but he was happy, because he had a friend, a lovely bird, who would never leave him. But one stormy night, the boy's only friend disappeared. So the little boy went on a long and exciting journey to find him.»
