My tenth birthday is almost here! And after that, I won't be just a little kid anymore. It's time to start planning my future!
I want to become a teacher like mama, but I also want to roam all across Amphoreus, just like Cyrene... Ahh! It's so hard to decide! Maybe I should just become a bard instead!
