"Did you really fall from the 2nd story of your house?" Ning asked.
The group had already started moving. Zand kept quiet for a while and finally spoke, "yes, I did. Well, I was thrown off of it to be exact."
Ning got a little curious.
"I think I will have to explain from the beginning really," he said.
"When my mother gave birth to me, my mother's body grew weak and she started easily contracting illness. Right around when I was 11, she died after a long battle with a disease. Just like today, I had walked all the way up to the mountain peak back then too," Zand said.
"My father and brother were there as well. When we were going around, I got cold and fell down the back of the mountain. That was how we came to discover a cave with Aether Ores there. Father wanted to mine it, but we couldn't get out hands on it due to the Seal's requirement of entry."
