Lister

First person story. I am a warrior who was raised by hags as a baby. I was abandoned by my real parents for dead and found by hags in the swamp. They raised me and named me Lister. The hags were all about potions and kettles, but also spirits. I was not able to take to their magic but found that physical might and the tangible world of a blade was favorable, and was easier. I took to the blade and would kill animals and other things to gather ingredients as per instructed and haul them back. Younger years it would be frogs, and rabbits. Later it would be otters, and larger reptiles. All would make me a better killer and hunter but more noticeably stronger. At age 11 I would find and attack dangerous animals like hogs and wild cats. At age 14 I wanted more from a weapon and the hags were able to procure a two handed weapon from a passing merchant with trade. This made me more efficient with my strength, and let me use my skill with the blade. The hags would notice not only was I strong, but I was sensitive to spiritual forces. I would begin to hear whispers only I could hear, and visions in my dreams of a watery swamp with blood for its bodies of water. The hags, after being told of this, all the hags gathered together. They spoke of a legend of the sword spirit (bleach’s zanpakuto system)
