"There really isn't much to say", said Ran'Jinro as he returned to the tomb, adding fuel to the fire the others had started. "I was a City-Dweller. Dive Rock in Cyrodiil, to be precise. Grew up in an alleyway along with my little brother. Where our parents went, I cannot really say, nor do I care. They left us. I owe them no concern for their well-being."

He was quiet for a while before he sat down by the fire, looking into the flames as they licked the dry wood. "While I struggled to provide both for my brother and myself, he was foolish enough to steal from the mayor. When they publicly announced that the punishment for this was permanent banishment, I volunteered to take his place. Lied and said that I was the one who had stolen."

He made a grimace of disdain. "Of course... banishment isn't the only punishment", he said and slightly pulled his cape down, exposing an area over his back where the fur had been marked and miscoloured with several lashes, most likely coming from a whip. "Our mayor liked to deal with lawbreakers in his own way."

The Khajiit smacked with his lips and tossed a small piece of birchwood into the flames. "I remember my brother calling out to me as the gates were closed behind me. I never saw him again. I don't even know if he is still alive. I haven't been in Dive Rock for thirty years. After my banishment I roamed the countryside, stayed in caves whenever Beasts were near and was eventually found hiding in the pantry of a nearby Outsider tribe."

He shrugged at the thought. "Ironically they also believed me to be a thief. I didn't even know that they had stored food in that cave. If I had, I most likely would have been forced to petty thievery in order to survive, but instead I had lived on whatever wildlife wasn't a hundred times my own size and were constantly trying to kill me.

I was brought before their elder. A bitter old Redguard by the name of Saigin. When he discovered that nothing had indeed been stolen from their pantry, he respected my honesty for saying that I wasn't a thief. He offered me a place to sleep and some food, but didn't want my stay to become permanent. He really hated City-Dwellers. I stayed with the tribe for about one week, until my time with them was almost up. The Gods must have heard my prayers the night before I was about to be forced to leave them. For the very next morning a group of Beast Slayers had come to the camp on a frequent visit to look for volunteering recruits. Seeing as I had little other places to go, I decided to go with them, much to the delight of Saigin.

Ever since then I was trained within the ranks of the Beast Slayers at Fort Slayers. I learned how to track and bring the mightiest of the titans down to the dirt from which they had spawned. And I learned how to change my view of the world completely; not putting Outsiders nor City-Dwellers in first-hand above anyone else."

He then glanced around at the group. "And... that's really everything there is to tell about me. Among our ranks I am classified as a Beast Slayer Veteran. Evelyne here is my apprentice. Hopefully, one day when I am dead, devoured and gone, she will follow my example and continue to cut the number of these monsters down."
