"I grew up with nothing. My family consisted of my father, my mother, and myself, but I rarely saw either of them. I had been sent away to nearby mines to work for a wage given to my parents. Though I hated it as a child, I have to thank them when looking back." Daruun showed a sad smile. "Because of that hard manual labor, I grew to be quite strong for my age.
"However, as years passed and I was sent from one mine to the next, eventually something happened without my knowledge. My parents had been killed for the savings they had amassed from my earnings. I don't know what they had planned to do with that money, but I'll never know so I don't like to think about that too much."
Jack listened closely, surprised that the all-seeing god came from such a lowly beginning.
