Knock Knock, Powering Up

*knock knock

Simultaneously two doors in a kingdom get a knock at the door at 7 pm sharp. One is a noble family when they open the door no one is there except a baby with a note and a wooden knife. The note reads Hello my name is Elizabeth and I need a home, I was hoping you would be so gracious as to give me one. Keep this wooden knife safe then give it to me on my 7th birthday. The man of the house reads this aloud to his wife. They look at each other for a bit then decide to take the baby in.

On the other hand, a poor old farming couple open their door to see no one there except a baby with a note and a toy wooden bow the note reads Hello my name is George and I need a home. I was hoping you would be so gracious as to give me one. Keep this wooden bow safe then give it to me on my 7th birthday. The old woman wastes no time and brings the baby in the home and starts feeding the baby cows milk (btw they are both one year old which is when it is technically safe to give a baby cow's milk).

Elizabeth is in the kitchen with the maid when she grabs a knife and suddenly starts cutting vegetables as if she had been doing it for years. Keep in mind she had only seen the maid do it a couple of times the maid was so shocked that she fainted. Her dad was very surprised by this and he remembered the night she was at the door and the wooden knife he was confused about how her biological parents could have known. A little while after this her father got her a teacher for swords art.

Elizabeth's dad decides to send her to an adventures school. Her mom was very happy to hear this as she did not like her she always thought she was the by-product of her husband cheating on her. Elizabeth was quite strong for a 10-year-old at the time partially because she had training as well as all the chores she did. Her place was a little strange in the house she was more important than a maid but she also was never officially a daughter of nobility as they never knew if she had noble blood or not. At the school you would get a companion based on your rank in society Elizabeth ended up choosing a blanket it was called a shroud if you put a piece of a corpse from anything that used to be alive it would add it to it's "collection" every time it got a new piece it would get bigger and stronger.

George's side, one day when George was in the forest he found a small home inside was a man he said he was a humble hunter little did George know he was the most well-known hunter in the entire kingdom. The hunter saw promise in George so he diced to take him under his wing and teach him all he knew. George's parents were sad but they knew this would make him happy and successful. On George's first day he ran into a mythical creature in the forest it was a huge snake with all types of wings on it, it looked like it was guarding its egg but it old and sick it had just won a fight Against a group of wild animals but it sacrificed to much strength and died. The hunter told George that he should take care of it as it would become a very strong companion.
