The Journey - History: Day 1
Today he began to tell me the story of The Fire Bringer, and what he really is. Since this journey seems to not be ending any time soon, and it only gets more and more tiresome, I've decided to tell my father's story from now on.
It begins thus:
On the day of the Turning his parents died. In those days the life expectancy was so short no one was surprised when a man got sick, infected his family and they all turned up dead the next week. Surprise was when someone survived, and he was a surprise.
He grew up on the street, some say the son of thieves, the child of murderers. However, he was just an urchin. A poor boy out on his own, and he learned to survive that way.
Living as he did, he saw things. Not merely the everyday toil and trouble, but the reasoning and even the game of power became a tapestry to him. He hid himself beneath grime and rags just to learn the ways of the wealthy merchants. Somehow he rose from the dust to sit on the head of the city government in his two and twentieth year, and from there he began to twist the minds of all beneath him.
