Well. I...I suppose the stories. Tales of our ancestors -- noble heroes and warriors, fighting great evils as one, protecting the innocent and bringing peace to their homelands... I wanted to do that, too. And since I had no head for studying magic spells and the like, and my parents both brandished steel... It kind of became inevitable. Our family sword passed to me just as inevitably; I more or less had to take it up eventually, interest or not.
