Beginings

The climate here is temperate, I do not need much but the food is an interesting change from the standard rations that we all eat. Though I have to get more of the local currency as the regular portions are not large enough to sustain me long-term.

As that foul witch stripped me of my armour before sending me here, I had to get new clothes. I assume she thought that would shame me, but no space marine feels shame when uncovered. The emperor created us and he makes no mistakes. My clothes are rough-spun but functional, I was told that I needed to 'Cover up' before too many of the women got ideas. I told them that even naked I doubt anyone in the village could draw blood on me before I killed them. I don't know why people shook their heads at me when I said that.

Anyways the locals have kept calling me a 'giant' and after two days of attempting to correct them, I gave up and simply ignore them now. They call me a 'Space Giant'. Apparently they are also around my height of 7ish feet tall. When I asked where other giants could be found, they told me they were a rare breed and were mostly found in the mountains. Also that they were stupid and unable to form more than crude weapons. That didn't sound like any of my brothers or any other chapter so I put this info aside for now. One thing I was told however was that a few days away was a much larger city that I could get more information from, as well as work if I wanted it. It was oddly called National City.

I had trouble with the weapons in this area. They aren't sized right and it's difficult to shoot their bows. So I would just run down a local animal or two for my meals. It proved interesting the first two times but then became routine as the animals hunted around here didn't seem to be carnivores.

After explaining to the Blacksmith that I knew more about metal than they did, I used his forge to make five spear tips and a Sword. It wasn't anywhere as good as the sword I used previously on my campaigns but I can't continue to use my bare hands on everything. After finishing my spears and making a rough carrying sack to carry them on my back, I bid farewell to the villagers and headed out to National City.
