The youngest life I had was in 1633. I was one week removed from my 11th birthday. My name was Jacobo Oniar. I was born in Spain. I don't remember much. I didn't live long enough to remember much. Life was short even back then. Shorter for me still. I remember the world being full of wonder and fear. I was so afraid of nothing. The world seemed too big. Too big even for one such as me. But there was no reason to be afraid.
One day I was by the river. My father was fishing near the mouth of the river my mother was washing clothes near me. A man came upon us, asking my mother to have a word with her in private. My mother asked him to leave. He would not leave. She said that I was her son and I needed to leave them alone. He grabbed her by her arm. She screamed but my father was too far away to hear. He was trying to rip her clothes off. I grabbed the knife my father used to clean and gut the fish he caught and just ran at the man. I plunged into his stomach and he spit out blood and made a grunt sound he smiles at me in a way I had not seen since. It was almost a smile of pride. He grabs at me and we fall intro the river.
We wrestle in the water as my mother screams. Finally my father hears her but by the time he would arrive it would be too late. The man and I fought then hugged each other as we sank to the bottom of the river. Then the world went dark.
That is all I remember from that life. Soon I wake up back in Jeville. And I weep. I missed my parents very much. They were good parents. But soon that too subsides.
And even now as I talk about that life, I find it hard to talk about that life and times. And especially that day. And now so many years later I find myself once again at the river of choices. Hoping others can help pull me out instead of sink us all.
So Omni and Jamo. Are you going to help us swim, or are you going to help us sink? Jamo for a while there you helped us, and you helped yourself, winning the world title and then some. But what have you done since? You have lost your way and no one can help you find your way but yourself. Do you have it in you? I wonder.
Next is the new guy Omni. I do not know you. And honestly I think you will be a bust. You don't seem to be the type to help us. Rarely do new people show up and actually do some good, for the most part new people sputter really quickly or never show up at all. Prove me wrong but I doubt you will, I doubt you will do much of anything.
That is all I have to say.
