Prologue: Larenn's childhood

Once upon a time, there was a small family of storm giants which lived near Valour. There were four of them: the mother and father, the son, and the daughter. The daughter was the youngest member of the family, being a handful of years younger than her brother. Her name was Larenn. Larenn was very quiet as a child, almost too quiet. It caused her parents some concern when she spoke at a later age than was typical for her kin, but given how calm she was, it was like she had never raised her voice loud enough to be heard. In fact, Larenn had a voice which could become quite loud, but she rarely felt the need to speak. Her unusual calmness made the clergy near her hometown take notice of her over time, and eventually a traveling minister offered to take Larenn to Valour and teach her the ways of his profession. She accepted, and that is where this story begins.

Chapter 1: Early Years Among the Clergy

Once Larenn left her family behind, she started to become more sociable. The wandering minister who she had met initially managed to coax her out of the sort of emotional cocoon she had wrapped herself in when she was younger. She was still rather calm, and rarely raised her voice, but she was more willing to interact with others. She also discovered the joy in helping other people better themselves or helping relieve their burdens or trauma. Larenn spent most of her young adulthood traveling from place to place with the minister who had taken her from her family. They went all across Serin, to hamlets, villages, and occasionally stopping in towns like Timaran for supplies. As she traveled, Larenn grew from a budding giantess into an oversized youth and teenager. She started to need more and more food to maintain her bulk and even grow a little. To say she was large was an understatement; there was no doubt that she eventually got fat, but nobody was so unkind as to say anything mean to her or even mention it. Eventually, Larenn and the minister came to Valour, and more specifically to lesser known ward where those ill of mind were healed or at least kept safe. She spent the rest of her formative years there, a story which will yet be told.
