I was born into a land of nothingness. No electricity, no plumbing. I've never seen these things, only heard the stories of my mother. We searched for water all the time. Clean water never came freely. And then they killed my parents. These hideous, heinous creatures. That night changed me forever. I lost my parents but gained something extraordinary. A gift. A curse. My parents never knew what their child became. I love them for that.
