[It's a past that is very familiar to Tuuri. She's had a lot of time to replay it in her mind, to wonder what went wrong back then. The answers come easy, even now.]
Onni was old enough to join the military, so the three of us moved to a base in the far north. I started working in the repair shop once I was 13, and Lalli started scouting when he turned 13 too. Onni and Lalli are mages, so there was plenty of work for them to do there. And once we realized I have a talent for learning languages, I started working as a skald in addition to my mechanic work.
It wasn't easy. But we had to do what we could. If Onni hadn't taken responsibility for us, then me and Lalli would have ended up in an orphanage.
