    Maero sits against a wall, he is a child, his hair is long and very light blond and his skin is slightly tanned. His mother is with him, they are in an alley way in-between an Inn and a Tavern. Soon, a rather tall Hin with long dark hair and a thick stubble jumps out of a window beside Maero and his mother, the Hin approaches Maero and hands him a piece of bread before speaking “Promise me, Maero, never stoop to my level. Do not steal, make a life for yourself, become an artist…earn your gold, I know you’ll be able to do better than me, your far too talented to be a common thief”. Maero takes the bread and rips it in half, giving the other to his blonde haired mother.

    Maero sleeps under a cloak in the dark and he hears yelling from across the dark street, he sneaks up and see’s his half-naked mother being abused by his father.
    “You whore! I knew you were up to something...I knew you didn’t just find that gold!” His father yells
    “I’m sor-“ His mother tries to talk but is cut off by the father
    “And with a human?! You make me sick, Dianne, all of my trust slashed before my eyes!” Maeros father pulls out a rusty dagger “I should slash you, whore!”

    Maero runs out screaming to stop the fight, but it is too late, Maero’s father had stuck the dagger into Dianne’s chest, her limp body falls on top of Maero and is stabbed 14 times before his father realised Maero was underneath. The father pushes Dianne’s body off of Maero and see’s what he had done, Maero is covered in his mother’s blood, it pours from his mouth as he coughs. “Maero! I’m sorry! Oh gods, Maero!” His father drops the dagger and tries to hug him, Maero is confused...scared...his father is going to kill him, what does he do? He grabs the dagger and with a blood curdling scream he drives it into his father’s temple.

    20 years on and he finds himself stumbling around an unfamiliar city with a black eye and no weapons. He walks up to a strange moustachioed man sitting alone in the commons and introduces himself, “G’day, mate...names Maero...I got into a bit of a bar brawl with a half orc and he broke all my stuff!” to which the man simply replies “D’ah ha haa! Ha ha ha!
