After I left the village,I decided to get some weapons,I had been trained for a certain kind of work so I dressed in a garb that I felt would help me get away if needed. I bought a few daggers and some food.I went to a more reliable family friend for a map to my cousin's castle.Then, I went back to my father's house,found the painting holding family heirlooms, and took my sword and rings.I then headed to my cousins castle. On my way there,I stumbled across two bandits, roughing up this girl, I didn't know if they were the right ones but it didn't matter, I killed them just the same.I hunted that group of bandits for years and have only killed twenty of them.I keep and sell back any useful items i find on them.Eventually, I reached my cousins'.I told him what had become of us,of my family,but he already knew.It was his father that had hired the bandits.He told me that because I alone had survived that I could join his ranks,become a commander,but i wasn't sure at the time.He said he understood. Two weeks later he tried to kill me in my sleep,so i immolated him on the spot.I ran away, from everyone, myself included.I went to a mage tower and learnd to control my magic by a man that I still consider a good friend. I wonder if I shall ever see him again.
