History

The small village Isaiah hailed from was highly superstitious. Because life was often so routine, any small oddity seemed that much more unusual. Devotion to the Goddess meant that such oddities were believed to be Her omens. As such, rumours that the Abbess of the local church had birthed a son “with hair and skin as white as snow” had sparked much curiosity; as expected of a small town, the news spread through the population near instantaneously and the villagers were already gossiping.

“The Archbishop's little boy, did you hear?” “A little hybrid boy! With milky skin and pale hair, to boot. I’ve never seen anything like him.” “What could She be meaning by sending this child here, I wonder …” “The son of an Archbishop – She must have chosen and blessed him.” “He’s been blessed by the Harvest Goddess!”

As the Archbishop, Isaiah’s mother held a considerable amount of respect in such a small religious village; despite her own status as a hybrid, even the human villagers believed that her son had been blessed. His mother tried to raise him as a normal boy, teaching him the ways of the church and the meaning of faith. Isaiah would grow up in the church with many eyes upon him; already a quiet boy, he found the attention to be uncomfortable. But if it pleased the villagers and stirred faith among the church-goers, he wouldn't complain. (His mother had taught him that faith was healing, after all.)

Age brought him several blessings (a new little sister) and responsibilities; he would meet with more villagers, organize sermons in his church and delve into his own studies. The attention focused on him grew as well, and while he was happy to serve the Goddess in the church, he himself didn't believe that the Goddess had marked him for anything special. The villagers certainly did, and had placed strange expectations of him that he wasn't sure he could meet. Though his mother tried to moderate the attention, the stress became overwhelming. If he couldn't please them, then what would they do?

"'Toffee town?' A quizzical half-smile curves his lip as he turns the flyer over in his hands. Maybe ...

It was the perfect opportunity as he saw it - a new start. After a discussion with his mother, he agreed that he would depart for Toffee Town shortly, telling the villagers that he felt spreading the teachings of the Goddess in a new land would be the best way he could serve Her. With few belongings to take with him, Isaiah bid his mother and sister a bittersweet farewell (he would visit every so often, promise) and boarded the train.
