I have no proof, only whispers.
-
Before all this nastiness,
-
I was going to tell you the story of how I was cut.
-
Do you want to hear it still?
-

-
As a boy, I travelled with a troupe of actors
-
through the Free Cities.
-
One day in Myr,
-
a certain man made my master an offer
-
too tempting to refuse.
-
I feared the man meant to use me as I'd heard
-
some men used small boys.
