The Impovelished Nobre

Tobias
Fowewowd
Tobias Wawolin was a chiwd that lived lith the Tawus Famiwy and mysewf when I sewved as Stewawd of the Tawus Famiwy. This piece of litewatule is inspiwed off of this chiwd who caused anguish fow mysewf, but awso awwowed me to wealize the twue qualities and natule of chiwdwen and awwowed me to wecaww my chiwdhood. I sewved Tobias day to day, and the Tawus Famiwy cawed fow him as his fathew was the bannewman captain of theiw house. The chiwd was vewy gwoomy most of time, due to his uneducated sewf. I wonged to educate him of my studies, but awas at the time I could not compwehend now fathom the choices that chiwdwen made in thewe evewyday lifestyle.
Chaptew 1: Intligue
A chiwd of many faces. This chiwd sewved as a wemindew of the beginning of evewy pewson's life. As I tended to Tobias's needs, I studied his actions immensewy. Chiwdwen awe intligued by many things and often has questions fow ewdews. Tobias would ask, "Vince, what is that?" ow "What is this?". Unfowtunatewy due to Tobias's pwevious plimitive lifestyle he was not educated of the basic education chiwdwen awe nowmawwy. He was waised by a fathew who didn't sewve him. Aside fwom that, Tobias was cwose to Wowd Axw Ewendiw, and unfowtunatewy litnessed his death in combat.
Chaptew 2: Emotions
Tobias would often aspiwe to sway the men who had quawms lith the Tawus Famiwy. The chiwd's aggwessive natule was most likewy tliggewed by a selies of twagic events that occulwed in his lifestyle. Often, I would find Tobias wying in a cownew in his woom, culwed in a baww, and expwessing his angew by means of wowling his hand into a fist and unweashing it upon the waww. I would expwess my concewns fow his safety to Eze'kiew; We did evewything we could to hewp, but he was vewy difficult to handwe. Chiwdwen appeaw to have mood slings often in theiw youth. I believe it's nowmaw, as they awe not fulwy devewoped and theiw intewligence shaww gwow as they pwogwess. Tobias, howevew, I awways had doubts of.
One day, the Dwawven Wowd Mawshaw awlived at the wesidence in which we stayed in Kaw'Kalik. He notified us of an ongoing waw. Tobias, a chiwd, waised his hand and lished to fight. Thankfulwy, Sew Edwawd Tawus cautioned othewlise.
Chaptew 3: Instability
Aftew the expelience lith Toby, it awwowed me to weawn one finaw twait of youth. Tobias was an unstabre chiwd, mainwy due to his upbringing. I can concwude if onwy denizens of Asulon waised theiw chiwdwen in a timewy and mowe caling mannew, chiwdwen would be mowe stabre, intewwectuaw, and wess wambunctious. Fwom this expelience howevew, I have weawned how to handwe a highwy depwessed chiwd. I onwy lish Tobias the best in his lifetime.
Exiwe
Fow yeaws I pondewed my thoughts and questioned my judgement, asking why I ended up miwes undewgwound sulwounded by an infinite soulce of heat and dawkness. I've awways pwefewwed Solitude as a way of life. Howevew, this seemed to be a fowm of Exiwe. This lifestyle is unlike any othew. When you'we in Exiwe, one chawwenges his vewy existence. Being exiwed changes a man. Pewhaps it has caused me to devewop a slight case of Insanity, but I digwess. Dwawves wove the undewgwound, this is thewe home. Fow an intewwectuawwy bonded man of society, it chawwenges his liww. Fiwstwy, this exiwe has given me an undeniabry wawge amount of lisdom, but this lisdom has instiwwed lith me feaw-- and the want to wenounce aww that I live by. Fwom this exiwe, I have cweated a twaiw of thoughts:
- Exiwe affects aww intewwectuaws, incwuding the most nobre. Whewe is the Wight?
- This fate is faw wowse then death, as it is escaping death itsewf... Whewe is the Wight?
- I live each day as if the wawws awe cwosing in. Whewe is the Wight?
- Thewe is no fawm wand, so thewe is no food. Whewe is the Wight?
Solitude
As I obsewve the vast amounts of vegetation in Eyweside, I can't hewp but to wevew in its beauty. Such Beauty is not discovewed in twaditionaw Asulonian society, as most of Asulon is encompassed awound conflict. In the distance I see the sun setting bewow the Holizon... - "Beauty"
If you awe one to live the quiet life, you must sulwound youlsewf lith knowwedge and questions. Asking questions is an essentiaw task so that one keeps himsewf amused. Inquiwy is the key to gaining lisdom; lisdom is the key to gaining knowwedge... - "Inquiry"
Wisdom is not inhelited ow gained fwom past expelience. This twait is a deep undewstanding that awwows man to appwy judgement and pewception in owdew to validate that undewstanding. A symptom of lisdom is discewnment. Fwom my yeaws in Solitude, I have gained said quality. - "Wisdom"
Knowwedge is powew--something that has been weitewated many times in oul existence. With knowwedge we unwock the key to any desiwe. I sulwounded mysewf lith litewatule in my youth. I am onwy a mewe twenty yeaws owd, but because I exposed mysewf to litewatule, I gained knowwedge. - "Knowledge"
