The streets of Modan were the only place that would embrace me. Thuggish and
cruel, it thought it's life lessons no matter if you were prepared for them
or not. I don't know if it is the strongest, or the bravest, or the most
cunning that survive them. Maybe it is just the unlucky ones. It is cliche to
talk about how bitter sweet the memories of early youth are, but it is true
none the less. There was a thrill to everything. The first time passion is
experienced, oh what a glory that is. The true rogue settles in his ways early
in life I think, and such was the case with me as well. I would find a girl
and we would promise each other eternities and then move on from one another
by the end of the week. I would panhandle, swindle, hustle, sing or con my way
through life and I would truly live in those times when the roll of the dice
would fall to my favor. I fought dirty and I would do almost anything for
enough money to sneak into a tavern, get a drink and listen to the music. It
was a life, the only one that Modan showed as possible to me, and I lived it
to its fullest. But luck has two faces. One that is warm and sustains you and
another that leaves you cold and alone. I would still be in Modan doing those
same things while the coin was spinning in the air. As can be expected, one
day it fell the wrong side up.
