Initium novum [Completed - being edited/rewritten]

Prologus - Character

My name is Antistia Lucius. I was born under the sign of Diana, goddess of hunt and archery, she is my patron. I am proud of it. My stepfather was always saying, that I am an as great archer and beautiful as Diana herself. I don't think, that it is true, but I didn't want to take this belief from him.

My length is 6 pedes, my weight is 171,8 minas. I have long red hair and white skin. I was born with the red colour of my hair, neither my stepfather or I don't know why I have it.

I can't ask my parents, because they are both gone.

They left me on my own when I was little, I don't remember them, I don't know, who they were, what kind of people they were, nothing.

When I think about it now, I am sort of glad for it, because their action made me who I am and I am proud for who I am.

Luckily I was found by a veteran soldier, who is taking care of me ever since. He taught me discipline, how to be patient, honourable, respectful, kind, strong and how it is important to go always to your goal, no matter what. He taught me how to use a sword and bow, basics of healing and other very useful things. Some could say, that he raised me as a soldier, that may be true but don't be mistaken, I am glad how he raised me.

But.

The most important thing, which he showed and taught me, was love, father-daughter love, he loved me, even though, I was not his own child, he loved me as if I was.

That was the most precious thing of all other.
