The braklav defeated me.



It transformed me.



The High Tender molded me to obey him and serve Gregor, my master, Emperor of the Vendel, and my enemy. I did whatever it took to please Gregor and endure my High Tender's wrath.

They suffered so I might survive.



They broke so that I did not.



They gave me strength when I was at my weakest.



They endured so that I might one day fight.



In breaking me, the High Tender gave me the means to defeat him, but that is another story.



I want to tell you how I met my new friends, because that is a story of legend…
