I do not know if you know this, book, but I come from Beggar's Alley. The part of town where no one wishes to be from. Shit staining the streets and the lowlife of all town would meet here. I would run errands for them for coin, which I would give to my mother when I got home, and at twelve, I was on my own.
I have served two lords in different houses, I have served my mother, who I might as was even more strict than the lords... She even broke my nose! Twice.. yet to be fair she was aiming the book at my little brother the first time, now he was a real pest. Last I heard he was dead.. Anyways... A lady spoke to me not long ago, and she asked me if I would kill her. I said I could not as I had no shield from her family seeking revenge. This got me thinking.. Is there anyone I would not kill? And I only thought of one I would be totally incapable of killing, Hyrien. She is the only one I trust. I have many friends, but I have seen things in their eyes. I trust very few, and am I right to do so? Today this fool of a lad came to take my sword.. Totally mad man, he wanted a sword I barely have touched. I handed it over, I did not want his blood on my hands right there outside the Pony..
Well this must be time to take my leave.. Madness and folly runs strong in this town, better weather it like always and catch some sleep.
