Thy Travels Through Tales

Deep in my heart I yearned to be in a player in tales of adventure, but I have buried this selfish desire with the obligation I have put upon myself to my fellow man. So, I decide to dedicate my time, my effort, my LIFE to my work in the hopes that I would be of help to my fellow man. But in a twist of fate the people I wished to help have turned on me. This left me with a large hole in my mind and heart, but my resolve would not waver. So, like every failure from before, I began to pick up the shattered pieces of myself and attempted to keep myself together, but suddenly as I am trying to hold myself together, I am reminded of what I truly wanted. ADVENTURE, to see the world and experience all that I could. Be it through fear, cold, or even nightmarish hardships.
I WILL HAVE AN ADVENTURE.
These 5 words range out in my subconscious and with-it fate had turned, and I now find myself in an unknown place, my memories fractured, and my body changed?

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"
