Orphaned, always hungry and mistreated, Witz was shunned everywhere in Yoks. People, so strange, never managed to take pity on the battered figure of the unfortunate boy. What's more, in some public places he was even forbidden to enter. The poor boy, on top of everything else, was decreasing every day.
