Subject: And then there was Ash

The sun rose on another day in the pitiful life of the red squirrel. He lived in the slums of Reskena, not exactly the best place for a creature to grow up. He had made his friends though, and in this place friends are what kept you alive. The slums had numerous gangs, dealing their own type of justice in the poor neiborhoods. Those who stuck together in a group had a better chance of surviving. Ash lived in a small shack on the more quieter part of the slums. He would rather be out in the open country living off the land, but one had to make a living. Ash, the squirrels name, lived off of what he could find. There was very little job openings for those of his status, so anything that he could get his hands on was welcome. Ash had been born an orphan, not knowing what had happened to his parents. Truth be told he really didn't care. His only goal was to rise above the poverty he had known all his life. He saw how other creatures would get stuck believing they could never rise above the filth, they just stayed in their situation, living their days out in destitute. Ash had heard about the Salamanders that wanted to attack his city, and he knew that this was opportunity knocking so he answered it as fast as he could. He would try to defeat them, if he could not he would at least help as much as he could. If he did a good job he might be recognized for it and be given the chance at a steady guard, and if he died in the process so what. He would be rid of this acursed life and not have to worry anymore.
