***> Chapter 41:***

Do you know the story of the little girl lost in the darkness? The one who had to eat the remains of her dead parents to hope to survive a few more seconds? It's a story that used to be told to children, but only here in Black Sand Land.

Because that would be the creation of our country.

In the past, when the Gods still roamed the world and the Longers did not attack in this way, some time after the separation of the continents and the death of the Ordrange, a little girl would have experienced the most extreme poverty with her two parents and would have fled their homeland. Arriving in an unnamed land, destroyed by the ancient war that nearly ended the races of Arcave, her parents died of disease and starvation. Their corpses were the only source of nutrition for the girl who struggled to eat them, even though she cried with every bite. She vomited, again and again, but she had to survive because life was too important to her. Sure, she was in pain; and not just a little; but for her, living was all that mattered. When she realized that she was going to die, after she finished the two corpses, she went to the only living tree in the area. She rested there and before falling asleep forever, she asked that this land never forget her. That this landscape of death would remain like this forever, so that in the future she would be remembered.

And Black Sand Land has remained that way forever.

It is only a legend that is told less and less. It's not the happiest, nor the healthiest, so we don't necessarily tell it to children anymore. To me, this legend is false; but what other explanation can be given for this land? Black Sand Land is a... special place. You know, here, the sand is black and lifeless and yet, Black Sand Land Beach is just to the east and there, the sand is beautiful. There is even one or the other town on the sides! I've been there before and it's quite pleasant, but the locals were afraid of me; hey, I'm too impressive for basic humans, after all. In any case, this country is really... eurgh. It's depressing, lifeless, and we don't know animals here. The landscape is so ugly, I don't know who would want to live in such a place.

But that's exactly why we decided to build USUP here.

I was born on this land, into a family where I was their angel, their only hope; and yet my mother still committed suicide, followed by my father. I don't blame them for leaving such a terrible life, but I am like a Goddess. I am not afraid of death, but living makes me feel good. People should be happy to have me still alive, on this planet lost in space. Anyway... I may have been born on these lands, but the two other founders were not. I'm the one who proposed this place because who would come and get bored in Black Sand Land, hmm? Only crazy people. We're close to the border with Sak-Ulrich so we can move around easily, but in the end we're not so bad here. I have nothing against this atrocious country, but I have no love for it either. It's just a dead desert that will stay dead all its life. Is this legend a reality or just a lie to give a reason to this lifeless sand? I don't know and honestly, I don't give a shit. All I know is that Black Sand Land is a country you don't want to come to. However if you want to kill and train, come to USUP. I promise you that here we kill well, properly and quietly.

We are professional assassins, after all.
