I grew up on the streets in Lion’s Arch. Back when it was a shithole pirate town made out of weathered wood we painted bright so’s no one could see the rot or the weevil holes.
Siah always said I was a lucky kid. She used to give me noodles from her Zumu’s table that she asked for specially. She left a while back, but she was nice and I still remember her.
Scarlet’s fuck-army of shitheads was something else. I think that was when I realized I was more than lucky. I was gifted.
Cause where we were hiding, we stayed alive. Me, and the others in the street that got away from the screwy plant people and krait and freaks. Like we didn’t just stay alive - everyone who was near me didn’t even get sick.
Come to think of it, I’ve never ever been sick.
Always figured it was the sea air.
Turned out I’m like, an elementalist. And the Priory teacher, Scholar Dimat, said I was pretty strong with the water element too. She had me close my eyes and shout words, and mist poured out of me. It was intense.
Those fancy Reachers have been giving me coin to keep them up to date on shit here. Ever since they all marched in, everyone, and drove out the invaders, and then had this like, super charity drive, and rebuilt the city to be all clean and stuff, there’s been a LOT of money coming in.
These days, I got a job guiding ships through the harbour. Used to just lug crates on the docks for extra money until the port master realized I was a hydromancer. Now I get to make bags of gold making sure the big cargo ships don’t run afoul of the tidal shifts and the new sand spits under the bay.
Got a decent place to stay.
Heck, I might even stop shaving and grow a moustache or a beard and look really grown up and find me a woman. They threw me out of the brothel the last time I tried.
Might get a ship someday. Get gold and riches and silk and everything.
The sky is honestly the limit.
