"I suppose I've always been a sheltered child - I never was really picked to do things with the other children, and often even the other adults would make excuses to find a way to get away from interacting with me. Eventually, I was homeschooled by my mother and that was the end of it. I'm not trying to make it sound like a sob story, really, but the truth is that this is my first time outside of Evereska. It's safe to say, I'm working on managing it. It's a lot to take in and I'll be able to deal with it eventually, but the world is much more vast than I ever could imagine within that tiny bubble of an empire."
