How does it feel to have the knowledge of an advanced civilization, clearly out of your world? Would this insight even be useful, when the people around you trusted the power of a fireball and had no idea about the power of steam? How would you fare as a lowly slave in a society ruled by women? Follow the steps of an urchin, swallowed by a fate that wasn’t his. A hopeless dream corrupted in the ways unknown.
