A/N Hi everyone...It's been a long time...Hope you enjoy...

My Story - The Beginning
My name is Thom of Pirate's Swoop. I am the oldest child of Alanna the Lioness, the King's
Champion, and Baron George of Pirate's Swoop. I am named after my uncle, Thom, my
mother's twin. Uncle Thom died on the day of King Jon's coronation. Even though I am his
namesake, I refuse to end as he did. Because of folly and his immense pride, he raised
Duke Roger of Conte from the dead and in return, Duke Roger killed him. I even have some
of my uncle's powers such as Seeing bits of the future and being able to read people's minds.
I choose not to use these Gifts very often because they often lead to pain and despair. I also
have a massive healing Gift, like my mother. I can use my Gift in other ways as well, which is
why I decided to study at the Royal University rather than becoming a knight like Mother.
Most people who knew Uncle Thom say that I am a spitting image of him. My fiery, copper
hair and strange, violet eyes.
Even though I am attending the University, I still know how to fight. Mama and Pa believed
that I should know at least some basic fighting skills. Mama taught me how to wield a
sword. In this I am even more advanced than many knights. Mama believes in perfection, or at
least something close to perfection. She also taught me some Shang fighting. She says that
she traveled to the Roof of the World to get the Dominion Jewel with the Shang Dragon. I'm
not sure how true that is, but Pa says it is. Pa taught me how to knife fight and some unarmed
combat. Pa used to be the Rogue. I'm really good at those things, too.
I have two younger siblings. They are twins, Alan and Alianne. Alan is rather quiet and looks
just like Pa, except for his purple eyes. Alianne, on the other hand, looks just like Mama. She
has Mama's temper, too. Ali is an even better fighter than I am and she has Sight from Pa.
Well, that's enough of that... I'll get on with telling my story.
A/N How do you like it? I know this part isn't exactly exciting, but it will get better. Constructive
Criticism only (that means no flaming without telling me why.) Thank you all.
