The Story
Your mother was a peaker. She found you, very small, in a cave when her own daughter was three days dead and there was milk in her and grief on her, and she did not ask the cave what the rules were. You learned wyrm-tongue before you learned to read; the human words came hard. People notice you are different. Some of them like it.
