If he was going to be in the council he wanted to see the whole city all of it even the shity parts. The low class was part of the city to and would be in his slight control of it all. As he walked the streets of the slums he couldn't help but remember his people and how his once beautiful home was turned into something like this because of his fathers power hungry ways right before Sergei burned it down when everyone was killed. Sorrow played across his face then anger when he saw a ball bounce acrossed the street and a small boy and his sister run after it huge smiles on their faces as they chased it and it bounced up to him. He kneeled down and caught it with a smile on his face as he held it out for them to get and the boy slowly walks up to him and reluctantly takes it "thanks mister" they both whisper as they start to turn around and run off the other direction when Sergei asks them to wait and gives them a few gold coins and winks at them "our little secret ok" the little girl clutched the coins to her chest as a single tear would fall down her cheek and Sergei wiped it off "don't cry it's a gift. Things are going to change ok now run back to home and give those to your parents and get something good to eat for a few days ok. Now off with you it's late" he says as the girl wipes her eyes and with a serious look that fades into a large smile she nods and takes her broters hand and runs off. Sergei stands up satisfied with his actions and takes a deep breath and looks up into the night sky "things are going to change" he says to himself and starts to walk down the street again.
