After settling in Tegleholm, and using up almost all of his money to buy a small house, he's forces to get two jobs to get by. He gets dragged into adventure and eventually learns that he is not who he was led to believe. Using careful planning, talking his way through and fighting, when necessary, he'll have to confront the people who raised him and lied to him, and confront the parents who gave him up. Moss will learn he has the potential to change his corner of the kingdom, if not the whole kingdom and beyond its borders. He will have to discover conspiracy and corruption and fight it. To accomplish this, he will face heartbreak and have to sacrifice blood sweat and tears. He will go from wanting to do things just for the sake of retiring and eventually living the good life, to wanting to fight for the people he learns to care about, and the kingdom he learns to love. Moss will learn what truly matters in life and how to appreciate it. Cover by One Ten Designs Prologue Moss Freeman was raised by the Big Sticks Adventuring Company. Sitting in a few large pouches was more money than he had ever seen in one place; the best part was, it was all his. His share of the money after a big job working with The Big Sticks. He thought of how comfortably he could live the rest of his life, only working when he wanted to. Now he could live life on his own, not constantly being told what to do, where he could and could not go. He carefully packed the coin away with the rest of his stuff, making sure it was neither going to be seen nor heard by other travelers on the road. He believed everyone else must have been envious that he was smart enough to get out of this line work so early. Either that, or they were daft. He pulled along his donkey packed with his belongings out of the guilds front gate. The stable master, Hans, glared at him as he left. Moss had been primarily raised most of his life by Hans, and now they were furious with each other. Hans accused Moss of being an ungrateful idiot. Moss had accused Hans of being a mother hen who only cared about everything being in its place and everyone doing what they’re told. Once in town, Moss quickly set to work looking for a place to live and settle down. Reality was fast approaching and rearing its ugly head. He quickly started realized how foolish he’d been. Everything was much more expensive out in the real world compared to the adventuring company. After purchasing a house, he couldn’t afford anything else besides a couple pieces of furniture and food for a few days. Moss had to quickly find a job, or two. Property taxes and everything else he needed would cost much more than he expected. Luckily, he was in a town where they were short on labor everywhere.

"I am Zuri Zero Williamson, King of Castaway and I am ordering you to take off the mask!" I turned away and I started looking at the paintings on the wall. I lingered on one particular one. A little question tugged at the back of my head and without turning, I asked it. "You must think I am stupid. Of course not, dude…I am not going to take off my mask. It's there to conceal my identity, duh" I rolled my eyes. "Who are you?" He asked me. "Oh goodness gracious! I thought my identity was obvious enough. The mask…the baggy clothes…the nickname…I am a thief! I am here to steal!" He lowered the sword he was holding and made a face. "I am not daft, I know you are a thief. I was asking for your real name, little boy!" He looked annoyed. Wait? Did he just call me a little boy? "I am not a little boy!" I yelled at him.
