"Alright right then, well, when I was a little kid I used to live on this little ranch. It was me, my mom and dad, and the Holstuarus we had living with us. She was, in a way, my mentor on life. She didn't know everything and didn't always have the answers but she tried her best. We lived in a quiet monster-friendly state, our living was made through what we grew and the milk my mentor provided. I spent most of my days with her, learning, talking, playing. I was happy, I would never have been prepared for what came soon afterwards." I stop and cut up a carrot adding it to the pot.

I take a breath and continue. "It seemed like a normal day, no one had seen it coming. I spent most of that noon tending to the small field of crops we had, dad was with my mentor and mom was starting dinner. It was uneventful into the evening, but under the cover of night things became set in motion. The Order came to wipe out what they thought was a blight on their world. They set fires to houses and stores, they killed humans and mamonos alike, the streets ran with blood. My dad ran to get whatever he could use as a weapon as my mom ushered me into the barn with the Holstuar. Mom didn't even make it to the door before she was shot down. Dad didn't fare much better, he might've gotten a few of them before they struck him down as well." I stop again and collect myself for a minute before continuing.

"Before we had even known it, they set fire to the barn. My mentor, she closed the door and had me go through a hole in the back to escape. Even as I crawled through, the soldiers started banging on the door, she told me not to look back. I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, all the way to the next town over. I don't even remember what happened in between getting there. The elders sent me to an orphanage for humans and mamonos. It's where I spent the rest of my childhood, I spent all of my time getting stronger, I stayed indoors doing chores while the other kids played outside. I beat up the other human kids who picked on the mamono kids. From there, I went so far as to enlist into the very same group who destroyed my village. Just to get stronger..." I stop again. I pour honey into the curry now and start stirring.

"I stuck with them for a while, I never killed any mamono while I was enlisted. I left eventually and started work as a mercenary. I made enough money to buy a small home and call it my own and from there, I started working my way toward my dream. I've been a mercenary for years and have had so many adventures. I'm an enemy of the Sabbath, I have a shaky peace with the Order despite my past with them, I've revitalized my family ranch with my new family of mamonos who I've either saved or somehow convinced to start over their lives with me. I'm a knight of the Heart in service to the Queen of Hearts Lustia. I've made many friends the world over and been places most people can only dream of. It's been a long life despite how short it's been, I wouldn't change it though." I say putting a cover on the pot.
