You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

Yow Shu sits crisscrossed on the cushion as he is accustomed to in his homeland he removes is sword and lays it in front of him for easy access if need be he takes a deep breath and speaks calm and collectedly "I am Yow Shu i am from a far off land i was born 18 moons ago to a worrier class family" he pauses  "i am the youngest of 5 brothers and the least favorite in the eyes of my father" he says with sadness in his eyes "As a worrier family we were brutally trained at the age of 4, every year we were tested every year the tests got harder, but my tests were always the hardest being the smallest of my father's children" His fists clench "my first test was to kill a wild boar with only my mind and what ever i could find in the cold mountain tops it took me 3 days to complete the first test i killed it by digging a hole in the ground and laying sharp wooden spears at the bottom and covering it with tightly knitted plant stems and i used myself as bate to lure the boar into my trap it took me 2 days to drag the body home as proof that i had done the task, when i got home it was dusk and my father was eating with my brothers as a reward for them completing the tasks they had received, my brothers noticed my movement in the dark as i was walking with a wild pig on my back to my father, he stood up with disappointment on his face and told me" "you bring great dishonor to the family for how long you have taken to do your task you will sleep outside and cook your own food until your last task has been finished" he pauses "he turned around and walked in the house and my brothers followed some looking sad that the festivities had ended and others with looks of sorry on there faces" yow pauses with a shivering breath "so for the next 14 years i have lived outside my family home and fended for myself only returning to the house at the beginning of every year to get my task every year it got more dangerous like my father was trying to get me killed, one task i had was to sneak into a bandit camp undetected and kill the leader and slip out without getting spotted" "another task i was given was to track and hunt a tiger with nothing but a knife and a loin cloth" " my final task before i am turned into a royal solder for the empire and shipped off to war is to kill a dragon by any means necessary" " my final task that will sourly kill me, the final task that is sourly impossible, my Final task that my father has given me to finally kill me, i swear by the gods above i will kill this dragon and show my father i am a stronger smarter and better man then he was or will ever be" He says with anger in his voice and fire in his eyes Yow stands collecting himself and his items and sets off to gain the strength to kill the creature that dominated the land with raw strength and determination yow will complete his final task
