"The monks of the temple I lived in. The Garuda Temple. I asked them about my parents. Who they were, why I was abandoned...y'know, normal orphan questions.

He didn't tell me what or why that affected me." she turned to her distant kinsman and seemed conflicted.

"And to tell me what this is? I just...I just want find my family...and some training would be welcomed."
