《Judah Judas Adventures》Prologue
Advertisement
I will never forget the day I was born. I did not have a normal birth like any child of the Romanian Kingdom. I was born because of a mother who ate an enchanted apple of a wizard, who is in a way, my father. He planted me in that apple using his blood, a spell to make me chicken in that apple, and gave it to a poor woman who wanted a baby but couldn't because no one wanted to marry her because everyone loved her. she considers it ugly and lazy. My mother took a bite of that apple, after which she woke up the next day with a big belly. Her mother panicked that day, went to the doctors of the Kingdom, and they told her that she was pregnant, which she could not believe that that trick worked.
The next day, my mother gave birth to me in her house on her own because she has no family around her or a neighbour to help her because of her ugliness and the fact that she behaves like an arrogant woman. When my mother gave birth to me, she cut her cord using a knife she had on the table. Just as it was time to cut the cord, something strange happened, the cord began to tear itself to pieces. I didn't realize how it broke because then we were babies I couldn't see, but I could cry like any newborn baby.
That's all my mother could tell me before she died, because she passed away in the next three years. The reason is not known, but I can assume that Apple had some kind of side effect. At her funeral, only I was present, a boy without a name because my mother did not give me any name in these three years. The reason she did that was that she was ashamed to go to the Castle to make those papers that would make me a citizen of this Kingdom. She didn't give me a name, but she always said, "My dear boy!" or "Son." Given her appearance, she was a good person at heart and with children, from what I heard from my Aunt after I leave the Orphanage.

After my mother's funeral, it didn't take long for someone to realize that I no longer had a mother or a house and I was taken to an orphanage. I lived there for six happy years with the ladies who were taking care of me and a few colleagues. Those ladies who took care of me asked about my name, where my mother was, or if I still had family members. How could I know this stuff if as long as my mother lived she would go to the forest every day without me? The reason she was going to the forest was probably to talk to the animals. It sounds like a lie, but this is the truth I'm ashamed of.
While I was at the orphanage, the ladies there named me Judas and registered me as a person of the Roman Kingdom. Being now a person of that Kingdom, I must follow, to make money to live here. In this Kingdom, there is a law that must be strictly followed because the punishment is executed by the guillotine in front of the whole Kingdom. That law is to pay about a hundred coins every week to live in this kingdom. For some, it is not much, but for a little boy who was expelled from the Orphanage at the age of ten and without parents it is a lot.
How was I expelled from the Orphanage? If you are ten years old, you have nothing to look for in the Orphanage because that is the age when you can work as a squire or work as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, as a cook, or as a worker in agriculture. And I chose probably the hardest job, that of squire because my scout is a female knight, Fiona.

Fiona is a female warrior who is six years older than me and owns a fine house. He has a shining silver armour, and behind that armour is a sheath in which he holds his sword that weighs more than a pig. He does not wear a helmet like any other knight because he prefers to have a better view and sharper senses. Without a helmet, her long blond hair was cut many times because she explained to me one day when she and I had to kill some wolves that invaded the forest near the kingdom. The house where she lives was made by her father who is one of the best masons in this kingdom. Fiona became a knight at the age of fifteen because that is the age at which you can work as a knight after working as an apprentice or squire for five years. The salary of such a knight is at least four hundred coins a month, and that of an apprentice is about ninety yellows every three weeks. But the best part, a knight and his scout don't have to spend one hundred coins every week.
Later, while I was working for Fiona, I found out a strange thing, she doesn't work entirely for the Kingdom, she also works for a kind of group. How did I find out? I noticed her one day when I was taking home the purchases made from the Square, entering a kind of Tavern with a muscular guy. At first, I thought he was going there to have a beer, but it wasn't like that. My curiosity knew no bounds and I decided to go in there to take a look.
And what I discovered in that tavern made me a completely different person in the future.

Currently in queue: Episode 12 in progress. Set in the Aurora: Apocalypse universe.Updated every Wednesday. If it's not updating, I'm working on my other fictions.If nothing's updating, I ran out of whiskey. Be patient. Cowboys and Wizards is a hot mess of garbage that should not be taken seriously by anyone.

Dungeons & Dragons meets the Wild West in an alternate high-fantasy timeline. Guns & Goblins. Cowboys & Wizards. Locomotives & Dwarves. Don’t expect great writing, accurate numbers, or common sense. Hell, don’t expect anything — just relax and let it happen.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
