The words they engraved into the mountainsideNameOkuta; a Latin word which literally means 'stone'.The face they carvedGenderHe was born a male, but now he's not so sure. Life has its difficulties, and he has come to believe that he's nothing more than a rock.The words which engraved themselves onto this heart of stoneSongI Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkel. What caused this erosionHistoryAs a child, Otuka always wanted to be an astronomer. He read up on constellations and the sky, and even saved up enough money to buy a telescope. His head was in the clouds, but his mother was determined to keep him down to earth.
The eldest of three children to a single mother, Otuka's life was made hell. His mother sensed defiance early on, and, determined to prevent this, made it clear that he was the least favourite of her children. He had to do most of the chores and everything was biased against him.
When he was old enough, Otuka was sent to a boarding school by his mother. It was drilled into him that he was to gain a degree and have a 'respectable' profession. Otuka felt lost. All the same, he finished school without seeing his family (he never had time - and was afraid - to go home) and nervously took the train home.
When he got home, he told his mother that he still wanted to be an astronomer. This was the last straw for her, and she threw him out of the house. He cursed her and walked away to find a friend who would let him sleep in their house for the night.

I just barely finished my extra in time in my timezone, could use an extension if possible to make it a little better, but I'm pretty happy with what I did get in, just would have done more if the contest had lasted at least one weekend -eyes some obvious mistakes and calms my pounding heart after coming really close- x3
Because I doubt you are going to give an extension, I'm just gonna wish good luck <3 The design no doubt takes a long time to draw but gah it is gorgeous!
