Life did not get easier after this, and just a short while after arriving in the city, Syra had four other children who relied on her. Quickly she had a whole little group of kids who relied on her and her decisions. With almost ten kids to take care of she had to learn how to patch up wounds, cure deceases and feed them. It was a lot of work, but she did enjoy the parts of fixing stuff, patching up wounds and making toys. But a crew needs money, even a crew of kids. So Syra started helping people around the town for some coins, she mostly patched up gang members and adventurers. After some time Syra met Eckerd, a man who used to buy and sell corpses, for medical reasons mostly. Syra made a deal with him, to get to develop her skills as an medic with the corpses no-one wanted. But in exchange Eckerd wanted something, something which Syra beloved would be a favor of some kind. But alas, when the time come Eckerd wanted something completely different, he wanted to marry her. A marriage Syra was not interested in, she did not want to be under any man. But this made Eckerd horribly mad and he turned Syra and her entire crew in to the authorities. Resulting in Syra having to take her entire kid-crew with her, pack up her shit and in the stealth of the night they left the city and moved to The Dusk.
