  Lobstrian Family  
  Once upon a time..
A little baby girl was abandoned on the shore behind a big waterfall. By the waterfall, there was a big cave, filled with gigantic lobsters.
To this day, nobody knows how it happened or why.
But the baby girl grew up with the lobsters.
She was wild and almost not human, the townsfolk called her BeRLiN. Many years passed, and the story about the lobster child,
was told in stories, stories that soon became myth.
But one day, a Shaman by the name Neowen heard the story,
"Of the child with claws"
She decided that she would venture to this cave, and see if it was true or not. The townsfolk would warn her, but she just ignored them and went to the cave.

While inside, she saw lobsters everywhere.
Huge, with claws as sharp as razors and shells as thick as stone, they all rushed at her to defend their nest.
But she did not fret, she merely swung her arms at them and they all froze. She went deeper and deeper into the cave, and the deeper she got, the more dangerous it became.
But then, she found the Sandy Mounds room.

She narrowed her eyes around the room, looking for something misplaced or unusual. Right as she was about to leave, she saw a girl sit behind a tree, staring at her.
She sat down on her knees, and took out a pouch of food that she had in her belt, and reached it out to the child.
For a few minutes, the child just stared at her.
Skinny, yet muscular, with blonde dirty hair hanging down in stripes from her face. From the looks of it, she was barely 6 years old. She slowly walked up to Neowen and took the food from her hand. They stared at eachother for what seemed like an eternity...

The villagers had gathered outside of the cave, and when they saw Neowen's face come out of the cave, carrying something wrapped into blankets.. They all screamed and ran away.

Neowen was expecting twins.
They were already growing inside her.
But she decided that she would raise BeRLiN as her own.
And she would teach them all about the most important
values in life. Love, and loyalty.

The years passed and the three girls grew up together.
BeRLiN, the much older and stronger one of them.
Namu, the strong and fierce, hot tempered barbarian.
And the warm and kind beauty, Aglaia.
With her healing touch, she could cure any wound.
They would venture to the lobster cave often together,
as a family. And soon, the villagers would call them
The Lobstrian family.

Namu left the safety of the home at the age of 16.
And though BeRLiN also followed the ways of the barbarians.
She prefered to stay with Neowen and Aglaia.
But BeRLiN and Aglaia, were not like sisters to eachother,
like Namu was to them both.
No..
Their bonds was much deeper.
For it was love.

Finally, they forged an oath in blood, and became a couple.
And with all of her children flewn out of the nest,
Neowen retired to the wilderness.

But ever since that day,
that this baby was abandoned by the great falls.
The lobster cave has become the home,
of this little family.
