SST and I (Tia's story)
by Tia TS posted 6/7/99 9:56:10 PM
I was born in a poor family. We had no place to call home, no money, nor food. My father somehow heard about those who became rich being a tailor. I was a hope of my family. I was born to be a tailor, to bring gold to our family, so that we didn't starve.
It's not that I didn't like tailoring. I loved each stitch I made. I felt so high when I could make high-quality robes. Yet, soon I realized that my skill was not raising. Somebody told me that I need to use hides to raise my skill, if I were to aim for the best tailor in the land.
I started to hunt animals. Being as timid as a rabbit, I always ran away whenver I saw a shadow of a monster or a person. Even a cry of a mongbat was enough to freeze my blood with terror. I kept hunting animals. Days after days, I brought a sewing kit to a field, and stitched.
One day, I fought with a mongbat. To my surprise, it was that foul creature which fell to the ground. Although it brought nothing to me, I was all excited by the fact that I could fight with a monster. Soon after that, I found myself looking for a monster. Orc and Ettin were my enemies. I used all of my
After I found that those brigands in the camp aren't too tough, I frequently visited the camp to get some gold. I started to talk to people, if just saying "Hail" was considered as talking. Strangers were still scary to me, yet I realized that if I don't open my heart, nobody will open their heart.
I must say that I was quite lucky when John asked me to join his party before being killed by someone. That was my first time to hunt with others. My first time to have fun with others in Britannia. Although his cry for blood chilled my spine, he was honorable. During the hunt, I easily died in the middle of monsters. To my surprise, they kept all of my belongings. Not the value of the stuff I was carrying, but their spirit moved my heart. A week after, John to me to my first dungeon crawl. He taught me how to fight with monsters in group (I'm still learning.)
It took me a while to meet other members of SST, yet it was worth waiting. Now I have a place I can call "home." Found a family that I live for, and die for.
Tia the Stitcher is here to serve you. That's the only thing I can do for the blessing I receive from SST.
