Origin Story, The First Sword Path

Jest was an orphan, a slave, and a weakling.

Jest was the one you would feel pity for. His life was what one could describe as pitiful.

He was born in a slave mine. A few minutes after he was born, his mother was taken to carry out her duties. She was a slave miner, after all, so she ought to work.

No matter the situation you are in, you must work when your time has come. So she was taken away.

But she never returned.

That day, she was supposed to come back and hold her newborn in her arms, but she was buried alive by rubble, and her dream of caring for and someday scaling the Wall of Death with her son was lost in her final dream.

Her dream to make sure her son escaped the life of slavery was lost under the rubble.

Jest was then left to fend for himself as an infant.

Luckily, Auntie Ama was there, and she took care of him until he was 7 and could hold an axe. That was when he was branded and sent into the mine.
