"My life for the first 12 years was rather uneventful, I grew up in Sutica with my parents... got an education, made friends and lived well. My biggest concerns back then was deciding what dress I was going to where and not what I was going to eat the next day. During my childhood there had been bandit attacks, raids to try and take our home I mean what city doesn't these days? None of them were successful of course but those criminals gave me bad feelings as a little girl. mid way threw my 12th year of life the worst bandit raid hit our city. They rushed in from all sides cutting down guards raiding houses and taking prisoners'... I was one of them, I watched as they cut down my father and ripped me from my mothers arms thinking I was able to do what they do. I heard Sutica called for help from a nearby city and pushed the bandits back again but I never went back, not after what happened. Meanwhile the bandits that had taken me realized my lack of skills in there criminal behavior, I thought they would either kill me or leave me on the side of the road but to my surprise they werent everything I had made them out to be. They just had a different view on the world. They took me in even offered to help find my mother and bring me back to her if she had survived but I had already realized something with my time in there camp. I shared more of there views then I did with my own cities. I understood these people better then I understood myself and because of that... I stayed, I stayed with the people who had killed my father and attacked my home because I understood why they did it. Overtime I began to learn what they did and through the years I became just as good at it" Numeria looks up from the crackling fire to the Norland guard standing opposite of her. The dark of night shadowing his armor in a menacing way. "So yes, I broke your laws and I took what I believe to be mine, now you know why and you also know what I can do... you have a choice to make, just because I don't believe in your Allfather doesn't mean I wont send you to him" She wasnt lying of course she had only spent the last year in Norland and had only recently heard of this red faith from king Halvar but she had no reason to believe it was true. She shifted her gaze back to the guard who gazed at her with a curious stare, not to long ago she was aiding this guard to help save the slightly older lady next to her from burning wagon. The large branches of the ashwood tree could be seen in the distance which meant they weren't far off from the capital if this guard left her she would need to move quickly
