[QUOTE="OnlytheStrong, post: 5059011, member: 54781"] Jynxx laughs, wondering why no one before this lady has managed to catch the oxymoron that he is. [color=blue]"An uplifting tale you should have milady."[/color] [sblock=Jynxx's Story] [color=blue]"It was not long ago, not too far from here. A man of no noble birth had a life that was ordinary. Brach was his name, by trade a farmer and cattleman. He spent many years of his life struggling to survive."[/color] Jynxx lets a small amount of emotion creep into his voice. [color=blue]"The man had barely enough to satisfy the hunger of his family, and often times did not eat himself so that his young children could.
