Pen
One day, when Pen was a child, he was playing inside a building, and the building collapsed. He became overwhelmed by the feeling of being trapped, of having no recourse, of being helpless.
As he was pinned in the wreckage, he struggled to determine how it had happened, what had caused the building to collapse. He understood that a building followed natural laws, cold logic, nothing like the honor that the Slaar clan followed.
The idea of cold logic, of natural laws, inspired him to learn more. To learn the laws of the universe, to seek the significance and essence of honor, and to search for a connection between the natural and cold laws of the universe and the code of honor with which he was so familiar.
Pen hopes that this endeavor – to learn the natural laws of the universe, to investigate the code of honor – will allow him to be prepared for the future. And, perhaps, he will be able to share this knowledge with others through story.
