  When people as I say I was born in a small village near Han, that is where I was raised, where I had my first friends, and for a while, the only place I was loved. Back then my Mother kept the villages store and my father grew most the things she sold. I, being to clumsy to work with my mother and to lazy to work with my father, became an apprentice under the village Diviner Neria. I spent much of my years there, living in peace, until Han decided that the insignificant community who was living on their lands but not taking their name, needed to become an official part of Han. In the chaos that followed I lost the people I was closest to, except a friend who was later trampled by an ox when we moved to Buya.

After a long while of trying to fit in with the fast life Buya offered I moved back to Nagnang, the place I was actually born in. I visited the Shaman Hill, who had sent me to Han when I was reborn. She told me that I must seek family again and so I joined the Divine Order in Kugnae. There I found the family I thought I needed, but mostly in a brotherly figure named Aeshatter. Again I lived a very happy life.

Soon, however, Aeshatter left the Divine Order as he no longer felt it was the right home for him. By that time we had already formed a close bond and so stayed in contact. One day as the two of us sat in the palace of Nagnang, he told me all about his family the Ori-cle. The way he spoke of them made me wish that I had living family, more so then I already did. He told me that they had been in Nagnang long before the present day residents, but had faded into history. He told me about the many temples that had risen, some dedicated to the gods I believed in. Then he told me that 2/5ths of the population of Nagnang had at least a little Ori-cle blood in them.

He had spoken of his family, so I felt I should tell him about mine. After he knew every grisly detail, after my dress's sleeve was soaked with my tears, he pulled me in his arms and asked if Id like to become Ori-cle as his new sister. Of course I agreed and from then out I could really call him my brother.
Later we met another woman with Ori-cle blood in her. The three of us soon became fast friends. One day as we were sitting beneath the Tree of Reflections, sharing the stories that friends tend to share, a woman came to us and told us we should try to collect our family again, that it was time to take the Ori-cle from the past and return them to the present.
A few Yuris after this, when we had already gathered many of our lost kin, I came upon a scroll of my origins, as it turned out I actually do have Ori-cle blood in me, that the man Ive come to consider a brother would have only been a distant cousin to me. I'm glad he adopted me before I found out!
