It has been six long years since I brought to life by the hands of those seeking not much more than a companion in trying times.
Those years have not been spent idle, as some would do. No, the march of progress and creation would not allow me to stop, nor my duties allow me to rest as the world remains so keen on destroying itself over sometimes the most trivial of matters. I have friends and family to keep safe after all, and I'll be damned if I don't keep them protected from harm.
However these years have taught me more than the knowledge I was gifted with. It has shown me who can be trusted, who would actually stand up against the wrongs in the world, and those that would destroy decades of progress. And those lines of late are slowly becoming blurred from my perspective. However the few friends I have, I know have my back when the time comes, just as I have theirs. And for that I have nothing but respect and gratitude for.
Now I live in an age where progress has to be kept hidden, much to the detriment of those unable to wield magic. Technologies that could save lives and improve standards deemed heresy by those unable to see the reasoning behind them. Although the same could be argued for their actions as well. There are no victors in that kind of dispute. Only mountains of bodies that didn't need to be there.
Still, despite everything, I still hold onto hope. That perhaps even with all the unneeded bloodshed and disputes, that perhaps after I am gone, a legacy worth of protecting will have been left in my wake. One of creation and happiness, and more importantly a life free of despair, but also one that can and will defend itself to the last, even if all that is left is molten slag.

I just want to see the world progress.
