Where Do I Start?

Never having scribbled anything in me life...so where do I start? The beginning I be supposing. I be originally from Torvaldsland. It be many en'vars since being there, me mother's mate be wanting me tae become a warrior...tarnsman tae be exact so off I go tae be dumped...and I do mean dumped in a mercenary compound in the red mountains. I be 8 years old when I be having me first encounter with the large war birds. The mercs in the compound Djindengi just outside of Hochberg dealt mainly in war tarns. Training these mighty creatures for battle. They kept me safe from harm, teaching me tae live by the codes of the warriors. Then one day, Samson, me guardian and Captain of the merc unit introduced me to Fury, me bird for the first time, thinking me life be over but she took a liking tae me...lucky me for these creatures can pick a full grown man apart with ease, seen it happen. Perhaps she thought I be nae worth the trouble being a scrawny thing then. I learned tae train the birds, working diligently day and night and at 23, I left that merc camp to set out on me own.

I lived in Besnit for a while, working with all animals...tharlarions, kaiila, but mainly the tarns, being that the administrator there found worthy of me skills. It's there that me life really took flight. Once on a trip tae Lydius ta accompany the Ubar on a trade negotiation, I met Trenton DeShea and he changed me life forever. In voicing me want tae join the Red Caste he offered tae train and work with me. Finding it an honor that the 4th chair of one of the high castes in Gor tae find me honorable and worthy of his guidance, I gladly accepted and am now a warrior, fully registered. I got tae witness the tournaments there and vowed that one day I would get tae wear the Ring of Champions. Trenton explained that in order for me tae participate I needed tae be a Warrior of Lydius and upon leaving Lydius tae return tae Besnit I became restless, needing tae be in Lydius to what Trenton described as "me true home and needing tae be amongst me own kind". It be true and its there that I returned and remain. I swore tae the homestone just a few hands ago and I be never happier. I even now don the Ring of Champions at least for a hand til me brat brother, Kory pounds me arse for it. It be in Lydius I acquired me first girl...me precious ember who started out as me spark and she be blossoming beautifully. And the best part is she be all mine...molding tae me wants and needs. I love Lydius...I love me Ubar and Ubara, me brothers and sisters...the family I lost when I remained in the Voltai.

Looking back now, I can only say that I will nae change a thing nor do I regret a thing. So there be me life on a rence scrap and things only be getting better.
