"My life before now..." Allura mumbled softly to herself as memories that she usually kept hidden came flooding back to her. Biting her lip, she considered avoiding the question but, since Akira hadn't held anything back, the angel thought that it would only be fair that she do the same.

"Well, I grew up on a farm that was way too far away from a town similar to this one, so we had to grow our own food and raise animals to get the resources that we needed. I was the middle child of eleven kids so I usually got over looked by everyone else, especially since I didn't act like my siblings did. That didn't bother me as much since I had my animals. Life was pretty pleasant for me." 

Allura paused for a moment to take a swig of her ale, mentally preparing herself for what she was about to say next.

"Then, one day, one of the animals got loose somehow and I went to look for him on my own. It was a mistake, a horrible mistake. As I was searching near the lake, a man appeared out of no where, asking me if I needed help with whatever I was doing. Feeling suspicious, I said no and proceeded to look around for the lost puppy bit as soon as I turned my back to him, he grabbed me and pushed me into the lake. I had no trouble swimming but, when someone is holding you down beneath the water, that's another story. I don't know why he did it nor if my family ever found me."

The angel signed softly to herself before bringing the cup of ale up to her lips and drinking heavily so that she could blame the tears in the corner of her eyes on the fiery liquid instead. Telling the origin of her existence always did that to her. "So now I'm here, drinking ale with you." Allura concluded with a sad smile.
