    Summary

    You have been in this palace for decades, nearing a century. You have done your part. You are the Master's daughter, granddaughter, ward, whatever is required of you. You play your part well, and because of it you hold a place of comfort within the household. You are kept safe, comfortable, and entirely away from the world.

    But even the most well-behaved dolls can't stay in their cases forever, especially when someone realizes just what a treasure is being kept under lock and key. Lucky for you, that someone is very talented with a lockpick.

    Summary

    It would be inexact to begin this chronicle at any other time than the moment of my birth. It would be a disservice to myself, my family, and my house, to forget the days of my childhood, the centuries spent in darkness. But, in the interest of verisimilitude, I must make it clear: my life only truly began when we Ascended.

    In the year 1848, Cazador Szarr looks back.
