Ok Aside From All That What Have You Heard?

"I don't want to know you." I had tracked down one of my distant blood relatives, she was less than receptive to my advances.

"Everyone wants to know their family! I mean I killed my dad, see we're bonding!" I admit I kind of lack interpersonal skills when it comes to relating to normal people. My great whatever blood relation (seriously it was like six trees of weirdness and five different marriages, I don't even know if we were true blood relatives to be honest) lived in a simple shack, she was unmarried and worked as a fisherman's assistant (which I wasn't even aware was a thing people did, like how do you assist a fisherman? Wonders never cease). Her name was Rowan, and I swear for as average as she looked I thought she could do better in life, like at least marry the fisherman!

"Can you please leave?" She was the second family member I'd run into, the first tried to kill me with a shotgun and I figured that was the univeral sign for "leave me alone" Rowan instead just kept trying to ignore me, the universal sign for "Please help me out."

"No Rowan, I'm your family and family should stick up for each other!" I'll admit it had been some centuries since I'd had dealt with family my idea on what they should or should not do is a bit warped. I forced past her into her shack. She lead kind of a crappy life, no real books, no real comforts, just a small house with a fire place bed and dresser. Clearly she needed to move up in life.

"I know who you are, you're Trezlan Lorentino, the black mark on my blood line, murdered your dad, some how keep yourself alive through dark magicry, start wars, end others, and generally hurt everyone you come across! You are the person my father warned me about until his dying day!"

"Ok you've heard all the bad about me, but what about the good? I mean I'm fairly well off."

"I don't want your money, I don't want you, I want you out of my house!" She "threw" me out, more just kept pushing and I left because clearly I needed a new tact. At the very least she lived on a warm weather island, I was not done with her but figured I'd made my case and she'd come around. Besides I had to get my bearings on the island some and figure out exactly how I could go about helping young Rowan get a good man and live the good life. Not that I knew about either of those things, but I'm forever an optimist! Right of course I am.
