Persona
"Born a bastard in the year of our Lord, 923, to a monk's last hope. I grew up between the legs of cows that my uncle tended for my mother. I learned to speak Latin and read Greek from a Christian hermit, formerly a monk from somewhere farther east. He spoke sometimes what he told me was Anglo-Saxon. My mother and aunt, who lived with us, died of some dark illness when I was just a man. After that, I sold our cattle to my father's only brother, and took the advice of my teacher and left that place.
I tended and milked cows until I came to a monestary in Southern Uí Néill where they recognized the hermit's name and insisted that I stay. I took to their way for a long time. What I discovered was that the community they sought in cloisters I had already found among strangers in hostels, trading towns and other places on the rocky road. Toward the end of my postulancy, when I was 23, I renounced the ascetic order and left for the Black Pool in the East, where I heard getting on a ship was easier than getting on a woman.
There I met the dark-skinned Tadgh in a hostel - my bottle of wine being empty - and resolved a dispute between him and a western man who had drank too much. We proceeded to drink too much ourselves, and I woke up the next day a mess in my own crimson vomit who knows how far out to sea."
