Getting up, I stretched before moving into the small kitchen, swiftly preparing a meal for myself to start my long, grueling, but fruitful day.
Life in the Tragon Kingdom, one of the Three Western Kingdoms, was peaceful and relaxed, albeit a life of hard work.
But it was fulfilling work, and I, as the only Core having person in my village, had to help with the heavier jobs and make sure my people were safe.
Something like a village chief, if you will.
Finishing the small loaf of bread that one of the village girls had made for me, I stretched again before grabbing the battered sword that my father had given me, while I strapped on the thin leather armor my mother wore.
They had both been retired adventurers who wanted to live the calm life and raise a family, but sadly my mother passed birthing me, and my dad gave his life to protect the people of this village when I was but a teen.
