The family to which I was born had never made itself evident while growing up in the city of Buya of the Tri-Kingdoms. The family who raised me was not that of my own, and made it very well evident through the severe lack of attention I received compared to my siblings. Throughout my childhood, I searched the lands relentlessly for the true family to which my blood is tied...however feeble my efforts had become; I never laid to rest that hope of a better life with my true family.

  It wasn't until the summer of Yuri's 75'Th year of reign, 27 years after my birth, that a glimmer of hope had crossed my path. The wax emblem that once sealed the adoption letter of my childhood, written by my father had caused my good friend of childhood through adulthood, Gnoff Balitang to perform quite the double-take. Upon closer examination, Gnoff realized the emblem gave a striking resemblance to that of his own, the Balitang family. However, the sands of time had worn the wax down somewhat, causing some difficulty in making an exact match. Through days of the finest inspection, however, it was announced that the Balitang emblem had crossed an exact match with the letter written by my father.

  Immediately upon discovery of my blood-ties to the Balitang family, introductions were made to further acquaint me with the existing recognized family members. Through continued family events and friendships, it was obvious that the Balitang family is what I had been lacking throughout a childhood filled with turmoil, distress and neglect. The amount of the one virtue above all that the Balitang exude, love, has been strongly present in my life since that fateful day of discovery. Forever more will I appreciate the time, care and love that has been shown to me by my newly formed friendships through family. I understand all to well the anguish and heartache that comes with a neglected childhood, but also know that nothing is too strong for love to overcome. No longer do I think on memories of pain, but rather that of contentment and satisfaction.

  Through some form of destiny, the one friend who had gotten me through childhood and remained my close friend, Gnoff, had turned out to be a relativeone whom welcomed me with open arms. It is through this discovery that I write this letter, so that I too may share in the name of Balitang; a name which will reside in the echo of my memories as friendship, honor and integrity.
