- Intro -

I've always loved life, even though life in what we today call 'the dark ages' was anything but simple. One of my father's greatest values had always been to cherish life and to be grateful for what we had – always aware of the fact that good things came to you when you worked for them. He once told me that life was about chances, that we were given an opportunity, and that it was our task to make the best out of every situation we found ourselves in, for the better or for the worse. It was one of the things I always, always tried to remember, even centuries later.

The other thing I kept in my mind with every decision I made was the fierce loyalty my father had taught me. Family was sacred, and I would do anything to save those I regarded as my family, whether related by blood, or otherwise.

One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was that no matter how precious and sacred life is, it can change and take the most nightmarish turns. You never know exactly when a story begins, or when a dream turns into a nightmare.

You can always try to run and hope to wake up, but in the end you will find that the only way out is through.
