"It was five years ago. Before I even knew about the Nexus." Hunter explains.

"There is some magic on my world. But back then... I was unaware of that fact."

"Back then, I looked completely different. I had a rich father. A spoiled upbringing. And believed that the good looks that were defined by popularity was the most important thing in the world."

"There was a woman at my university who didn't have that conventional good looks. I insulted her. Worse than that... I embarrassed her in public."

"Her name was Kendra. She used her magic to change my appearance. The tattoos and the piercings all appeared in one night. And she gave me a large rose bush tattoo on my left arm." Hunter holds up his arm. "And told me that I had until the last rose bush fell... to find someone to love me, no matter how I appeared."

"I didn't understand until later, that her goal was to let me grow, and learn to love myself."
