Sree has given me a journal.
  It's probably the first thing anyone has given me in a very long time, and I suppose I should explain how I got it, and how I met her.  The slavers were after me again. I had just lifted some guy's purse on Hustings strip when i saw the House colors. Idiots, they clearly know nothing of blending in.
  Still, they had me trapped in the alleyway. Luckily I never travel alone! I gave a whistle, and as he always does, Cookies came running. My Chocobo partner tore into them with beak and claw, and I did what i could throwing rocks and such. I've learned better then to try and help him fight. My lack of training and no real weapons, i tend to just get in his way.Â
  There were to many for him, and we both knew that, but we also knew he could escape at any time. There's no man alive that an out run a wild chocobo! All he needed was to give me time to escape, so I made my way, dashing across the city through alleyways and side streets. I somehow ended up in the Goblet when one of them surprised me from out of no where. I could feel his knife scrape across my rib bone as it slid into me. I fell from the overpass into a courtyard below, crawling to the door.
   That is when they came out to see what the commotion was. The Ascendant Dawn, they are called. A group of adventurers it seems. They chased off my attacker and healed my wounds. It took them awhile to understand that i couldn't speak, but in the end one named Sree offered to watch over me while I rest and gave me a spot to lay.  I recovered quickly with their help, but I couldn't just.. owe them. I had to find a way to pay them back, so I asked to help them.
   The tall hyur woman, the one with the large feather... told me no. They don't deal with thieves and youngsters. Their leader, however, was willing to give me a chance. If I can find a way to be useful to them, I can join them. Be a real adventurer, get paid real coin and have a home and food every night. It seems like a dream.Â
    But how does a street thief help a group of warriors?
