Growing Up

The only daughter and youngest child of Grum and Molly Rockhands, Losin grew up in a home full of discipline, hard work and love. Born and raised in the city of Nutz Losin always dreamed of seeing the outside of Deglos when she grew up.

Losin being the only daughter and youngest was the apple of her parents eyes especially her fathers. Losin would spend hours watching him teaching her brothers how to work the metal they mined, from these lessons Losin learned how to smelt and make most metals before most dwergen could take their first drink. Not seeing this as a healthy way for a female dwergen to earn a living Losins mother would drag her away from these forge and anvil sessions and teach her how to make bandages for the miners and guards around Nutz and in other parts of Deglos. Losin hated when she was pulled away from watching her father’s lessons, most times she was kicking a screaming while her mother was dragging her off. On one occasion while Losin was being dragged off by her mother her brothers started picking on her, telling her to go do woman’s work and leave the smelting to the men. Losin tore away from her mothers grip and ran towards her older brother Glimlo. When Losin was close enough Glimlo threw a punch towards Losins head, only problem was Losin wasn’t there she had side-stepped his punch and landed a kick on her older brothers head and had knocked him out. Everyone who saw this could not believe what they had seen, a dwergen female not much taller than her fathers waist knock out a dwergen male 7 years her senior. Losin stood over her brother for a moment looking at him not realizing herself what had just happened. From that moment on Losins family saw her differently, her parents knew she was something special, her brothers knew that she was force to reckon with.

The day finally came when Losin felt it was time to leave her home and family and venture out of Deglos and into the lands of humans, elves and other surface dwelling creatures. Losin’s family went with her to Nanshi Urbaz to see her off, give her some supplies and wish her well. Losin walked out of the mountain and into the wilderness of the elven lands, she asked around about the city in the trees as she had heard talk of the elvish city in the trees. Losin took her time getting to the canopies soaking up every sight, sound and smell she encountered on the surface. Once she arrived in Le’Or she immediately started looking for work, finding some work as a messenger she learned the capitol city very well and knew most of its merchants and citizens. Not seeing anything coming of her choice to visit the surface Losin returned to Deglos and back to Nutz.

When Losin arrived at her parent’s house they were shocked to see her back as soon as she had only been gone a few weeks. Losin fell back into the routine she had before she left for the surface. She helped her mother in the house and with bandage making and this time she was able to participate in her fathers’ forge and anvil sessions, which she took to like fish to water. During one of these sessions Losins brothers were out in the mine and it was just her and her father. He told her to stop working for a moment and sit down. She laid her hammer down and took her apron off and sat down next to her father. He asked one question and one question only “Why did you come back?‿. Losin looked at her father and started crying, disappointing him was not something she wanted to do. She looked back at her father through tears and said she was scared and didn’t know what to do or where to go. Grum stood up, stroked his red/grey beard walked over to his daughter gave her a hug and said “Ye told me de truth, dats all I wanted t’ hear.‿ Grum and Losin talked a lot over the next few days about the past, present and the future.

One morning Grum woke Losin before the other family members and took her deep in Deglos. They talked along they way, Losin having full trust in her father did not worry about where they were going. They suddenly walked into a large cavern lit by torches and fires spread throughout. Standing in the middle of the cavern was a human man standing perfectly still unmoving. Grum walked up to him, bowed and spoke with him in tones Losin couldn’t hear. After a few moments Grum walked back over to Losin and pulled her to the side where a few boulders lay and told her to sit down. Losin sat and looked at her father with a puzzled look on her face. Grum explained that this man would be her teacher until he saw fit to release her from her studies. Losin looked back at the human then to her father. Grum said “Dis is fer de best, ye wantin t’ leave Deglos den dis man can teach ya wut you need to survive in and out o’ Deglos.‿ Grum gave his daughter a hug told her to believe in herself, and always remember that Gorethar is always with you no matter what you do. With that Grum turned and left the cavern, unbeknownst to Losin Grum shed a few tears when he left the cavern and prayed to Gorethar as soon as he left the cavern. And so began Losins training…
