In this very scary and unpredictable world there are many things one might fear. For some the fear of spiders and some heights, but for Aj things were a little different. 
He was aboard the Swearing Pharaoh, a ship bound for Swampwater when they were sent off course by a hurricane. Ever since Aj was born he had an incredible fear of water and because of this he was unable to swim when he was cast into the deep ocean surrounding him. Waves pounding off the scraps of the Pharaoh and dead sailors all around, his last thoughts were of home and a comfortable bed to lay his head.
He felt dark and cold, he could hear sounds of spiders and waves hitting the shore. Opening his eye's, he realized he was alive. Standing up slowly he realized he was badly wounded, his left leg had a gash in it, it was covered in sand and muck so he decided to try and wash it off right away. 
Still confused as to what had happened he built a fire to try and stay warm. As he sat, pondering on what to do next he realized he had to fight his own way now to survive. He crafted a hatched out of the strongest oak branch he could find and chunk of cobblestone. Finding suitable trees for good shelter was not hard in the dense forest on the island, so dense the sunlight could not get through the trees where he was cutting a fine branch down to add to his collection. 
He heard a noise.. a familiar noise. Threw the brush he could see a faint figure approaching him, he gripped the handle of his axe. As the figure was about to make its final move through the brush Aj swung his axe with all his might. 
A badly wounded cow fell before him, bleeding heavily and moaning in pain. 
Two thoughts ran through Aj's head at that moment, I should kill him now and get it over with and This may be one of the only two cows on this island and I can use him for more food. Aj then ran quickly to his shelter where he had hidden way some leaves to make a blanket for the cow. 
Over time the scars healed and the cow grew strong, a bond was formed beyond man and dog, or man and woman. A friendship that would turn the course of the island for moons to come.
