If you knew my life, you wouldn't know what to do with my problems. 

I grew up in an old hollowed out tree, my caretaker/ best friend/father figure, said that he found me as a baby in that tree. So I had decided that I would make it my own. It was an old twisted willow, it must have been hit by lightening because if its charred and holed appearance. But it was fairly sturdy and it kept me fairly warm and dry, if you could believe it. Even if it was a charred old tree I never thought it was a bad set up. 

The tree itself was close to town, it was in a secluded area, and not many people came to that area often anyway. A lot of people stayed away because its right near the edge of the beast forest, and the rich people in town didn't want to get attacked I personally didn't mind that, I saw food chances and battle practice. I believe that my tree home was a perfect secret entry place into the city, which means I had a way to get food and clothing .... In a sense.

 I thought it was an o.k life, yeah I had to steal to get food ....and as sad as it was to admit it I was good at it. I also had to fight to get out of trouble, which again as sad as it was I was better than most. But that was life, if you didn't grow a thick skin to these types of things you would get yourself killed.

At the sun rose I climbed out of my tree and stretched, arching my back like a cat and yawning. I had always been an early riser, I liked watching the sun change the sky to different hues of red and orange. I frowned at the number of clouds in the sky, the thoughts of rain popped into my head but I shook it off and started my daily exercises. I started by stretching out the muscles in my neck, working out the kinks and knots. I slowly incorporated my shoulders, rotating the sockets until I felt a warm burn. Then I moved to my elbows, then my wrists, all the way down to my fingers until my head, shoulders, and arms were warm and tingly.
