Personal history

Sophie came from a large and loving family. She and her childhood sweetheart, Albert, married young, and settled down to create a large and loving family of their own. Albert's dreamed of, so they bought an old, burned out ruin of a building and threw themselves into rebuilding it.
 
The early years were hard - money was short, hours were long, and the work was hard, all while trying to feed and care for a growing brood. They struggled with caring for and losing aging parents, struggles having a baby, and even the loss of a much wanted, long awaited, infant daughter early in their marriage.
 
Through it all, Sophie and Albert persevered, each supporting the other with all they had, and finding in the other all the they needed.
 
And their struggle paid off. The inn made stopped bleeding money and prospered. The surviving children were happy, healthy, and thriving. All last, Sophie and Albert were living their Happy Ever After.
 
So it was a shock when Albert passed away from a sudden illness barely into his middle age. Without him, it felt like the family had lost its anchor. Then, barely two years later, just as the family strarted healing, her youngest son Joshua disappeared on his 16th birthday. He left a note explaining that he wanted to see the world and discover magic.
