My giant of a father with an expression he never shows me, proceeds to attack the men in front of us, and following behind him others try to help. The fighting goes on, but as expected with the exception of a few of us including my father, the rest of the people go down easily.As their swords, hit the bodies of everyone we see their blood fly, around and it is a horrible sight. Holding my brother I stand there frozen in shock, but then my father says, "Both of you grab the children and run."These words unfreeze me and I say, "But what about you!""It doesn't matter just leave!"Swords swing towards my father's arms but he is able to block the attack. Since my father has a bull as his animal his muscles are quite a bit thicker than others.But then, Hubert moves towards my father, and with two quick slashes he leaves a carve on my father's chest which causes him to drop to the floor, then moments later Hubert steps on his head, and says, "Is this all you people got."Me and my brothe

As we ride through the forest a chilling feeling goes through my body. It is a place filled with dark trees that look like they have been burnt to ash yet maintain their form and texture.Through those trees, a red Firey energy flows as if a flame that was used to burn this forest simply got captured and ingrained with the trees themselves.No light from the sun can pierce the giant forest we are encased inside, with the only light source being the purple leaves that exist within the trees. It is hard to breathe as if feels like the air in different places moves from pure and clear to utterly putrid.There are fruits growing off each tree. They look dead as if all life has left them, yet they throb over and over again just like hearts. These sounds fill the area and make a rhythm that unnerves me deeply.However what truly scares me is that as I look away and then back at the trees, I swear they are shifting. It makes me feel like I am going crazy and I start to swear, but then Setant

-Break-Walking with my compatriots, I say, "Where are we going."Setanta says, "Home.""But this is the capital, shouldn't we be heading towards the outer regions since you're a noble."Smiling, he says, "You will see."I look at Ibar, who with a tired look says, "Get ready sister.""I know."So we all continue on with our horses in tow through the city. Against my idea, we head deeper inside instead of outside, and eventually, we reach the giant castle at the centre of the city.Standing in front of the towering gate, Setanta says, "We are here." Then like an idiot he walks directly toward the tower gates.Grabbing him, I say, "You're not funny."Ibar says, "You can't just walk into the castle of one of the four kings.""I know you like to constantly disrespect people, but if you disrespect one of the four kings that means utter annihilation.""The only way you could actually do worst is if you spit on the high king himself."Setanta says, "I have already spit on the high king himse

-The next day-As the sunlight shines in my room, I gracefully stretch and as I do I sit up look around my room, and then say, "What a fine morning it is."Like a fairy I dance and hum to myself to the closest window, and say, "How beautiful it is in these lands. But it shall become far more enchanting when I grace it with my presence."Changing my voice to that of a little child, I say, "But wonderful, majestic, queen Laeg Ní Fergal, why is that?"Returning to my normal voice, I say, "Oh little child, it is simply. Because anything thing a sky-splitting beauty touches instantly changes in value, something worth one wonderbeast suddenly becomes worth a hundred."In a childlike voice, I say, "Of course that must be through, you are the greatest fir bolg in existence. You at the tender age of fourteen have already become a valuable asset to the king of Gorias, truly a legend in the making."Changing my demeanour I move to the left of the room, and then I start to gallop as if I am on a

1 hour later"The four providences each have which are chosen by the current family in charge of the providence. Right now they are, Murias holds up scientific development above all, for Findias it is military power, for Falias it is agricultural development, and for Gorias it is labour development.These are the reasons for a lot of the differences between the four providences, a great example of this would be your education. It is a standard that all people between the ages of three to eleven must be in full-time education, and we subsidise the family for the lost labour and other expenses."Shocked, I say, "So the kids in other providences, don't have to go to school? How do they even learn anything.""Most learn from their parents, but as you can probably guess this leads to very broad distances between the average mental abilities of people throughout the empire."My brother says, "Does it really matter though, not many things we learnt in school are going to help us better cut o
