Once upon a time, there was a child who did not know who she was, or where she came from. She knew only that her name was Beatryce.

Found at a monastery by Brother Edik, the girl was curled up in an animal pen with a goat named Answelica. Though feared by many for her sharp teeth, hard head, and wily ways, Answelica remarkably chose to be the protector of this child.
