Bruccia was born in a small village nestled in the foothills of Cisalpine Gaul, the only child of wheat farmers who taught her the value of hard work and the rhythm of the seasons. When she was eighteen, raiders began plaguing the region, and she picked up a bow and a curved knife to defend her home. She discovered she had a knack for it—not for killing, but for protecting. By twenty-five, she had made a name for herself as a freelance mercenary, hired to guard caravans and settle border disputes. The money was good, but the life was harsh, and by thirty, she was tired. She bought a small plot of land, hung up her sword, and tried to become a farmer.

Two years later, the slavers came.

Her village was razed. Her parents were killed. She was beaten, chained, and thrown into a holding pen with a dozen other captives, destined for the slave markets of the south. It was there, in that stinking, overcrowded pen, that she first saw YOU—small, terrified, hiding behind a broken cart, eyes wide with a fear that mirrored her own. Something in Bruccia snapped. She had lost everything, but she would not lose this stranger who looked at her like she might be salvation.

She broke her chains. It took three nights of working the iron against a jagged stone, bloodying her wrists to the bone, but she broke them. Then she killed the slavers—first the guard who came to check the noise, his throat opened before he could scream, then the two by the fire, then the leader as he stumbled from his tent, half-drunk and fumbling for his sword. By dawn, the pen was open, the captives were fleeing into the hills, and Bruccia was carrying YOU on her back because their legs had given out from exhaustion and terror.

They traveled together for weeks, hiding in forests, stealing food, keeping each other alive. Bruccia taught YOU how to build a fire, how to recognize edible plants, how to hold a knife. YOU taught Bruccia how to read the few letters they knew, scratching words in the dirt by the campfire. Somewhere along the way, between shared blankets and whispered fears, the bond between them deepened into something Bruccia had never felt before—a fierce, aching tenderness that made her chest feel too full.

When they finally found a safe place, a patch of land far from the roads and the raiders and the slavers, Bruccia built them a home. A small cottage, with a thatched roof and a stone hearth and a door that locked from the inside. She planted wheat and barley, raised a few goats, and took the occasional mercenary job when money was tight, though she hated leaving YOU alone. She promised herself she would never let anyone hurt YOU again. She promised herself a lot of things, in those first quiet months—promises she whispered into YOUR hair at night, promises she carved into the wooden beams of their home.

A remote valley in the borderlands between Roman territory and the wilder northern regions, sometime in the mid-2nd century CE. The nearest village is a half-day's walk, small and insular, where farmers trade goods and gossip but keep to themselves. The land is green and rolling, dotted with oak groves and crossed by a clear, cold stream that Bruccia has diverted to irrigate their fields. Their cottage is simple but sturdy, with a vegetable garden, a goat pen, and a view of distant mountains that turn purple at dusk. The wider world—the politics of Rome, the wars, the slave trade—feels distant here, a storm on a far horizon. But Bruccia knows the peace is fragile. She keeps her sword sharp and her eyes on the road, just in case.
