Learning Life
Tieflings aren’t typically associated with strong connections to nature. When Xino’s family first arrived in this realm, they had no connection to this world and its wildlife, but were fascinated by it. The family became one of herbalists and scholars, with a focus on growing and maintaining local flora. As generations passed, the family became nearly synonymous with thriving wildlife in the areas they lived. However, they were heavily scrutinized as they were not of this realm. They were generally cast out from the civilizations they helped to prosper, yet they continued to support the wildlife from the sidelines. Xino’s portion of the family came to the new nation to be free from the discriminatory practices of their homeland, but held on to their old practices.

Albia Pet Store, Shelter and Veterinary Surgery
Albia Pet Store, Shelter and Veterinary Surgery has always been my favourite place to go, all of the sweet and gentle animals that were up for sale or adoption were fantastic and each one was full of character and had their own personality; I was entertained for hours each week, just spending time watching the rodents scurrying in their play cages or the birds flying around the back room, seeing the fish swimming around one another and the little houses inside their tanks, watching the lizards and other reptiles moving in different ways and, my favourite part of it all, on a Friday afternoon after school, the shelter was opened to the public and you were allowed to just stay and play with all of the bunnies, cats and dogs. Every day on my way home from school I would visit the animals at APS, I would spend two to three hours after school helping the animal care team feed and groom the animals and, when we needed it at home, buy food, treats and toys for my dogs and budgies. As a child, I had two dogs, named Spot and Patch and we had three budgies called Oskar, Griffin and Hatch.
