I was 10 the first time I splintered.
Spoiler
The first time it was an accident. I remember having a terrible headache when I arrived at my destination, a mountain made of rock and snow. I didn’t understand what was happening until I saw a version of myself grab a bicycle and ride off.
After father had told me about the splintering, I had looked it up and done research on it, to try to ease the uncomfortableness in my mind. I knew that the splinter could be re-united in a small number of cases. But the splinter would have to be contained and held captive until the reuniting could occur. I found that there was actually a holding spell for this, but it was kept in an old book belonging to the Queen’s Library. It wasn’t hard to convince my father to take me there. I was a member of the tribe and, at the time, still in good standing. I spent the afternoon seemingly pouring over fairytales, but actually read only one book, which I kept hidden from father. It wasn’t that hard. The librarian found him exciting to talk to, and he was rather amused by her attention. I found what I was looking for, and more. Much, much more.

I spent the afternoon tracking my splinter down and convinced her to have a bite to eat with me. Along the way, I spotted a vending machine along the backside of a building. Yes, I thought, that will do nicely. I used the holding spell and trapped the splinter inside. I told her that it would only be for a short time. I told her that I would come back for her.

Unfortunately, when I returned, the machine had been moved. I did not know where even to begin to look. But as she was only a small splinter, I didn’t really spend much time worrying about it. By the time I reached my 16th birthday, I had placed 5 splinters into vending machines on the mountain of rock and snow. I told myself that I would go back for them, but somehow never did.
