"Spendin' dze last Five or Six years in dze Verloghokbol pokey for sumthin' so blatant, so inane can be frustratin' fo' a young up 'nd comin' chap like me.
I started bein' me, when I left ma Villaj Ezdelin atta Age o' 17.
Dzem scatterbrained fundamentalist zealot Loonies livin' in ma Villaj witta Q. fixashion jus' wasn' a thing for me, ya know?
Dze idea was, ta try ma luck in dze big V., either wittem Guards, as a Pimp or a Trafficka'. Or all three in One.
Nope, it all didn' happen how I wanted it ta be... Yae can control only dzat much of yaer path, dze rest is jus' action, reaction 'nd circumstances.
I ended op inna dead-end Alley rammin' a broken Ale Bottle inta dze face offa Wanka' dzat had dze right 'Friends' inna right positions. Verloghokbol Politics.
Accused of deliberate murda' attempt, muggin' 'nd possession of Crystal Death [...Which was originally dze Wanka's belongings...].
Three years at most dzey said."
Chapter I.2 - The Talented Roughneck, Mister F.
"Two Revelations, Brodda'.
1. We all have a Skellie inna Closet. My 'Skellie' makes me a peculiar, but talented Bastard.
2. I'm greedy as a feckin' Tick. I'm an Egoist. Why jus' a piece offa Cake, when I can gittit all?
When I was a youngsta' I quickly found out dzat I was different. Same, same as ma Folks, but slightly different. Here it goes:
Yeah, I know I'm a Tuff Guy, I can fall wit'out hurtin' ma self. I can cut ma self wit'out bleedin' dzat much, I can even heal minor wounds by a mere Touch..
Nae, I'm nae an emotional Victim. I do nae cut ma self 'cause I feel miserable, mind Yae. Whateva'.
Dze difference between me 'nd dzose who're gifted by 'em Gods or dzose dzat do dze Witchcraft is dzat I can do it by jus' wantin' ta do it. It comes from dze inside. A thought, dze will 'nd I can harden ma skin or match it ta dze Backgrounds. Like, Now yae see me, now yae don't.
Ma two elder Broddas', Bigiz 'nd Bjaz, used ta beat me op jus' fer dze fun of it, jus' ta see how much I can take. Fekkin' Whoresons [Yeah, ma Motha' was dze Villaj Mattress, I kid yae nae...]."
