Subject     History

My story begins many years ago as a little
bundled infant, left on the
doorstep of a forest cottage, a bastard child. Of
course, I had no
inclination of my half blood at the time, nor would I for
several years. The
cottage was buried deep in the woods and belonged to the best
parents I'd
ever know. Unbeknownst to me, but living with a caring mother and
father was
surely better than being ridiculed as a half-breed. 

I was brought
up to live in the forest. My father taught me to hunt, trap,
and track. My
mother taught me the use of herbs and simple incantations to
assist me. I wasn't
magical, by any means, but she had a talisman that
helped greatly. It quickly
became quite obvious that I had some elven blood
in me, as I aged much slower
than I should have. In my teenage years, I
looked like a young child. In my
early adult years, I looked like a young
teenager. The pattern repeated itself
until I questioned my parents, and
they revealed that I was not their biological
son. Surprisingly, it didn't
bother me that I was orphaned and taken in. I would
have had it no other
way. Unfortunately, though, this news started me thinking
about the outside
world. I'd always lived in this same forest, in this same
cottage, in this
same room. My parents agreed with what I proposed to them. It
was time for
me to go out and forge my own path. So, with my bow, dagger, and
woodland
knowledge I set out.
