Prodigy and Legacy are two massive words to live up to. Growing up in the club was never as simple for me as it was for the other kids. They all knew that they’d one day have a role to play. They would always belong.

The surprise child my parents never thought they could have—my father’s little miracle. I inherited my parents’ gifts and then some. I can hit a perfect C7 note and a target from over three hundred meters with an arrow.

With a riffle? I’m even deadlier.
