They always said I had a gift for healing. Not knowing whether or not to agree I just went with it. People call me Bright Eyes the Healer Princess. Once again I can't see why they call me that. I mean I don't even call myself a princess. Anyways my real name Diana of Crystal Falls.

Crystal Falls is were the queen lives. My village is small, and known for the crystal clear waterfall that is five minutes away. Now that I think about it, I don't live in Crystal Falls. I live in a small village right outside of the grandest city of them all. My village is called Puddleton. Whoever named this village must have been like six years old, because it is the stupidest name ever. Puddleton is small, and filled with wooden and thatch roofed houses. There is a doctor and a small hospital for minor injuries. Most of the shops are in Crystal Falls. Anyways, I digress, the whole reason I'm telling you this is because I want my legacy to live on forever. I think that's enough about where I live.

I am small, and about average weight. I have cropped, frizzy, jet black hair and bright red eyes. Those are how I got the nickname Bright Eyes. I don't have any family, so I guess you could say I'm an orphan. I mean I have a brother, but he's never around. He's a knight at the castle and almost never comes home. I honestly don't care though, I mean I'm not at home much either. I don't go home at night.

When I was about three, my mom and dad died crossing the river in a small boat on a stormy day. All I had left was my brother and his twin sister, Jane, who died at the age of twelve from an unknown virus. Jane and my brother, Amon, were really close, so he didn't really know how to handle the loss. When she died he had to learn how to cook and take care of the six year old me. I was left on my own when the castle guards took him up to the castle to work for the military. That's when I found out I had a knack for getting into trouble.

When you're seven years old and don't make any money life's hard. You have to steal and cheat your way out of stuff. I was constantly running amuck in the streets of Crystal Falls. I made a few friends in a gang and they taught me the ropes. I was a runner. I stole goods and money for my gang and they paid me. The gang was called Amoxtli meaning protection or shelter. The Amoxtli were my shelter. I lived and breathed the gang life. I was eventually promoted to officer. This meant that I could recruit and kick out members of the gang. By kicking out I mean we had to send them on a suicide mission to go and steal from a rival gang. I very rarely sent them on suicide missions, but I did when I knew the gang was at risk of being caught by the guards.

I was part of the Amoxtli gang family for more than ten years. I was then seventeen, and it was time for me to resign. It's common for people around the age of seventeen to resign from the gang, but not entirely. I was still part of the Amoxtli. I got the newer members out of any binds they got into. I live in the slums of Crystal Falls, aiding and abetting criminals, refugees, ex-gang members, and current gang members who have no home or family. There were so many sick people who came in and out of my small house, I had to do something. I was spending too much money getting the doctor to come in every hour. I then learned how to heal.

When I learned how to heal people, life was even harder. I was only a teenager. I had a hard job. I had to keep all the people coming in and out of my home healthy. I didn't want pay, for most of the people were poor. That's how I spent my life. That is until I met him.

Now is the time I tell my story from my point of view. I was only recalling the past, now it is my present time.
