Innkeeper
You agree with your mother, you don't want to take another beating and that was only a punch in the stomach from an ogre. Who knows what they'll do to you next?
You and your mother pack as quickly as you can and catch a late coach heading west. It feels weird leaving Klyton, in fact now that you think about it, you've never been out of city before.
Eventually after a couple days the coach stops in Teckleville where your aunt lives. Teckleville is just one of the many small villages on the borders of the Dalantium Kingdom. Probably in time it'll get absorbed like so many others do, but that's not really a concern of yours right now.
Your aunt Enora is happy to see you both, and while this whole living with her thing was sprung on her at the last moment it doesn't seem to bother her. She says there's plenty of room and you can stay as long as you like.
While the house is certainly nice and you're happy to live there rather than in the street, it's sort of on the small side and you feel like you have no privacy. Teckleville isn't anything like you're used to either. The whole small town thing just doesn't appeal to you, and you feel trapped with a bunch of boring backwards people. It's even worse than when you were stuck serving the miners.
You were supposed to do greater things! Your were going to be a doctor! You did everything right and studied hard and what do you have to show for it? Nothing! You're stuck in some cow town where the best job you can hope to get is probably shoveling shit. Some future.
"Thanks dad, you fucking idiot." You say throwing a rock against a barn door.
In time, your mother works at the local tavern where she serves as a cook. It's not much, but it is something she's used to doing.
You manage to get a job working as an assistant to the mean old bastard who runs the general store. It's a thankless job, but he's about the only one who'll hire you since nobody else will work for him and everyone else thinks you have a superiority complex (Which is sort of true) and won't hire you.
The only upside is since you live at your aunt's house you manage to save what little money you do make. You have a plan to head to the Delantium Kingdom and start fresh again, because staying here isn't in your future.
Unfortunately neither is the Delantium Kingdom.
One night while you're sleeping an oversized hand covers your mouth and two more grab your arms. You open your eyes to see Olaf grinning at you in the darkness.
"What? Did you really think we'd forget about you? Don't worry about the debt anymore kid, consider it paid with your family's life." You hear Mr. Reynolds whisper before he shoves a knife into your stomach and rips it up to your chest.
The next day your aunt's friend finds the bloody bodies of you, your mother and your aunt. The incident becomes known as the Teckleville Massacre.
