- From the Diary of Cassius of Darkholme:
From the Diary of Cassius of Darkholme:
"I wish I could say I was a hero on the day I took the Second Breath, but I wasn't. I was a scared little boy, who missed his Mommy and Daddy, and wanted them to be safe...I guess i should start from the beginning. As usual, My father and I were...discussing, loudly, his desire for me to join his, and eventually my brother's Merchants-guard. I was an accomplished with a sword, I had a good head for numbers and I kept myself largely out of trouble, but I just couldn't.
I couldn't accept that I would spend my days as a sad soldier, guarding caravans and cargos and counting inventory. Even in the illustrious position as prince of Darkholme, well..still, I wanted more. I wanted to captain a ship! I wanted to be a brave buccaneer, fighting to defend my home, seeing the world. It's funny how destiny works..
So the arguing continued. Loudly, and my father, in a fit of great pique punched my spoiled face. This is the part where you'd expect that I challenged him to a duel, and we fought like warriors over our honor... No such luck. I ran like a child from the palace, crying and cursing my father's name, and I landed somewhere by the docks district in the arms of a number of beautiful ladies of the night, who were doubtlessly impressed by My Manly blubbering like an idiot over my stupid problems.
The resultant hangover probably should have killed me. I assume the Unconquered Sun wanted me to suffer for being an absolute pillock, but the screams...that was..new. at first I thought it was the screams of pleasure from the nearby rooms..but no..this was the War Wobbles, and Woots of the Lintha. A gang of cannibal pirates my fathers soldiers and sailors fought.
I rushed from the brothel, a bit of drool still clinging to my beard and ran for the safety of the palace, that's when I saw the flames. reaching high above the plantation outside my parents estate.
I dunno what took me then, because before long, I found myself screaming in Triumph as I smashed my father's merchant ship into the Lintha Captain's Hull....heedless of danger, and singing a sea shanty like a Sun-sick lunatic.."
