This is a recollection of my past and present, as well as I can remember.. I was born in the thirty-third Yuri of his Majesty, King Yuri. I was born to humble parents Soo and Ha-Neul, who, in my youth instilled honor, tolerance and fairness to me. I spent a majority of my youth largely ambitious, but directionless. I fought pirates, leeches, fought for my king, fought against other kings.. Many of my youngest years were short, and filled with danger, yet supremely satisfying. I fought valiantly, and bravely, because I knew no other way. In later years, I found allegiance to one and many clans, and armies. I drifted along from the mighty Bear clan of Koguryo, enlisted in the Nagnang army under General MarekP, and had finally sworn my home and pride to be Oceana, forever, in the sixtieth year of Yuri's reign. It was sometime after the unfortunate schism of Oceana that I found myself again wandering, aimlessly? I finally found my way back to the kingdoms after what felt like an eternity. I took up arms with old friends, and encountered familiar foes? but truly, I lacked substance, and anything special, in my own life. It was not too long afterwards that I met Diskord Dorkus, who, at the time, was a master of geomancy, and a friend I will now never forget. He invited me into the halls of his beloved Clan, and there I was greeted with such enthusiasm and affection I felt myself suddenly enthralled by the atmosphere. Soon I found myself again in the warm walls of a clan hall, Destiny's of Koguyro. I enjoyed the everyday tasks of escorting young poets, aiding elderly magicians, and sparring with the strongest warriors in the land. I remember in this time, a great sensation of joy, to finally have a calling - somewhere I felt truly appreciated? At the time, I was considered strong, but far from a master of the blade. Within Destiny's halls, I trained endlessly, to obtain greater knowledge of the blade and its secrets within. It was a great day in my life to obtain the second mark of enlightenment! Things were going great? and then one day? SHE came. I must recall, now - I was very close to Nanami, who often mentioned her sisters, but never in great detail. I remember awakening one morning, to a fellow kindred telling me that Nanami's younger sister, Amphitrite, had arrived in our hall, and was meeting with all of us. The moment I walked into the room, her eyes met mine? and it was a feeling I'd never once felt in my entire life. I walked up to her, clumsily, placed my hand out, and said 'Hello, my name is Girly.. er.. Gimpy!' I was so caught up in her wondrous appearance and demeanor that I lost control of my tongue! I recall her laughing, smiling, and saying 'And here I thought you were a strong warrior!' I must have blushed for a week! It felt like only one instant from the day I met Amphitrite, to the greatest day in my life - the day we were married under our favorite tree near the East gate of Kugnae. It was with great pride I took upon my shoulders the duty of husbandry. One day as I was completing my work, I ran into a friend of my youth, Ninked Mizu. We took a while to catch up on things, and sparred, for old times' sake. I remember explaining how bravely I fought, and Ninked offered me an invitation to train as a Chongun under him! As a faithful follower of Chung Ryong for my entire life, I contemplated if I was ready to dedicate my blade to honor. After dedicating myself to the Chongunate, and after weeks and months of training, I was ready! How thrilled I was, to be sworn and recognized as a fine knight like the rest of them! It is now the seventh Hyul of King Mhul's reign, and every day I strive to strengthen myself, my mind and my blade in hopes of protecting my wonderful wife, our beautiful children Starlite and Sole, my magnificent clan, and the Kingdoms I've called home for so long. |
