"I was born in the gutters. My mum had me alone after my father died. Then slowly, she got sick as well, falling sicker with every passing day, and there was nothing I could do to help her at all. So when I was barely eight, she died as well.
That was when I found Luka and the little group that became my home. We stole together, lived together, did everything together. Until one day, I discovered my talent for magic after watching a mage in the city. He cast a simple spell that stuck in my head.
That became the beginning of my learning magic. Luka loved the sword, and I loved magic, engrossed in it and learning whatever I could because I didn't have the luxury of relaxing.
But slowly, learning magic became all that mattered to me. I wanted to find ways to learn more, and I didn't care about the risk. That was when Lady Crimson, the one who watched over all of us, told me of the academy and what I could actually learn there.
