My name is Kathleen Hadley. I’m an orphan, raised as a slave in Medveil, a town on the edge skirts of civilization. I wasn’t always an orphan, you must know. I had parents, a mum and a dad. I hardly remember them, though. I lived as a 4 year old with Mary. I don’t know how I ended up with her, but it didn’t matter in the end. We lived in a dangerous area. Slave traders raided our village. They rounded up the woman and children, killing all the men. There weren’t many, just me and another kid. Woman that resisted, like Mary, were killed.

At the time I didn’t know what was happening, so I couldn’t do anything about it. But now I bid my time patiently, swearing to myself that I will never be that powerless again.
