"As far as I remember, I was alone.
Of course it was bothering me back then. I was just a kid, I wanted to have friends, to play around and just have fun. But I had some problems, and being the biggest cub in Fahrar was not helping either. Well, maybe in the beginning, when no one knew me yet, they were just surprised and curious about me. But their curiosity quickly changed into fear. I wasn't able to control my anger, my way of playing was too much for them, I was too harsh, too brutal and I couldn't change it, that's just how I was... how I am. Adults didn't want to help me either, they were always saying that I "will be a great warrior that will win countless of wars and fights", now that I think about it, I guess they didn't care about my feelings, it's all about wars and warriors, isn't it?
Oh how fast have I become an outsider, an outcast. Other kids were around me only when they had to, and even then, they tried, what I assume was their best, to avoid me.
It hurt, I felt... abandoned, I couldn't understand why.
And that was making me even angrier.
I used to be scared of the dark, like probably most of the kids.
Fire was the only thing that was able to gave me warmth, and while I was close to it I could feel some comfort, some peace. I remember stealing torches and just sitting or sleeping close to one, trying to calm down or just rest, away from everyone, away from those who hurt me.
I grew to like solitude. Each day I started to care less about others, and releasing my never ending anger on enemies felt really good.
And now?
I guess those Primuses were right.
I've became a great warrior and I have yet to meet something or someone that could defeat me."
