The story of Beso

I am from a foreign country called the Helimon Empire. It all started on my 18th birthday. Just my luck that I had the same birthday as the festival of new winds. In my native town of Alma this is the day that all young men go out into the world to make names for themselves before returning to Alma to cultivate families of their own. Most leave for the capital to become merchants or doctors. I had other plans.

ten years prior my brother, Alec, left on his own journey. His motives, unlike others', were totally anonymous. We had little knowledge that he even intended to leave the village. This seemingly reasonless abandonment, on my birthday no less, had left a mark on me, a whole in my heart. Now my time had come and I had made up my mind to go on my own campaign to find him. This did not go as planned.

Through a series of events that not even I am sure of anymore I left Alma in a party of 4 in search of the shards of a mystical stone of legend. I am now 26. I have lost track of my comrades, they gave up the search one by one. Now it is my destiny to continue the search alone.

My travels have lead me to this peculiar village. I have developed a liking for its inhabitants and the fast paced lifestyle. A full year has passed since I entered this place and am now a full fledged ninja. I thoroughly hope this village does not turn up fruitless, though I sincerely doubt it will.

I will tell the tale of the stone on a later date.
