It was so long ago that I have truly lost count of the years. But I recall each event so vividly as if it were yesterday. I met a man who was with the theater company playing in a ramshackle hall in Selnar, my home city on the Cosian western shore. The rent was overpriced and the particular sector much run down and in ill-repair. And yet the man held a certain charisma that captured my heart and held it fast. I wanted to be with him night and day. I wanted to know him, and know every facet of his life and his work. In short, I wanted him more than I have wanted anything in my entire life.
In the theater company's final days of performing some new play that had sold out the house for every night the production ran, I bade Marius to let me join his fledgling company. I was star struck. I wanted to be an actress and bask in that limelight upon the stage. And it was on the final night after the last curtain call, that I became his lover.
When we arrived in Jad, we were quickly joined as Companions before a masgitrate. I had forsaken my father's name, my father's Home Stone, and my father's caste to become one with Marius, who was little more than a pauper with the grandest of dreams. His dreams became my dreams. And I loved him with all my heart.
