《The Royal Mage》Chapter Twenty Two^

"Okay the next thing they will ask is what was the speech the Great First had said to encourage her army. Note that they will ask you at some point why they called her The Great First and you will say, because she was the first. First what? Your answer the First Mage, First Arch Mage, The First Commander, The First Empress, The First General, The First Gold Leaf, The First Protector and that First Priestess. There are many other things for which she was the first, like first hunter and teacher but those that I listed before are the main set and count as one point for the eight point question."
"Okay back to her speech, it wasn't a long and overbearing one, in fact it was short and sweet and showed her newly formed blood lust nature. It goes They thought us weak, they trapped us in their chains and put us under their command. But then they took from us the ones we loved and held close and for that they must pay. They must pay with their blood and the blood of all their kin!" The woman's voice dominated the room as she shouted and Rime and Cyra covered their ears until she was done.
She smirked at them "I'll write that on the board so you get it down, don't get this speech wrong because you'll lose a lot of marks. This speech saved our kind so everyone is a bit touchy when it comes to getting it right. Okay next question, how long was the war, what was the number of casualties and how did we finally win? Answer the war lasted four full moons which in current time it would be a year and a half. The number of casualties were uncountable because back then our people could not count."
"The final part of the answer is a bit longer. The War had finally come to an end when the Great First had grown tired of the battle and decided the cowards way was the only way to save her people. So at the end of the Fourth full moon when the night sky had grown darker, the Great First Mage made her way into the beast men war camp. She snuck into the tent of the sleeping war commander and took his life by drowning him in his own blood, in other words she slit his throat."
Rime cringed and the woman rolled her eyes "yeah there is no nice way to put it when they're asking for all the details, for this question you get your full points and more for stating it like it is. Okay so that brings us to the end of the war section of your question paper. Next we move on to the creation of our land and capital and then how the principals were created and all that bullshit. Okay so after the war the first thing our people did was clear the land of any beast people, dead or alive."

"When we were finished we claimed their homes as our own and got rid of anything the reminded us of their presence. Like for example the huts we used to live in before the war started, they were destroyed and things like that. And no we didn't destroy the fields and fruit trees, we were bloodthirsty not stupid. It is kind of obvious but because she was now their savior and protector and shit like that she was given the best of everything."
"So she got the biggest house and some of the humans that worked as maids before worked with her and so forth. But we'll skip all of that and get to the establishment of our home. Okay so because of the 'privileges' she had while she was a slave, she was the only one of us that knew how to read and she put that to good use. She went through the books she had found on how the beast people went about creating their own place and she used that to help us, so she didn't just slaughter them and chase them away from their home but she also stole from them."
"Okay so the first thing she did was search for the storage area in the different locations, most of it had been raided so they brought together what they had and she calculated it. Then she went through her people and created teams to do different things, some went into the mines, some went into the fields. Some she thought to read and keep stock of everything that they had. The children were allowed to run about and do as they pleased, until she created a school from them and started to teach them herself."
"One thing you need to remember is that all of this is being done and lead by someone that was maybe sixteen, seventeen at the time, so to the Humans of the time she was also seen as a goddess. Eventually they were able to establish our capital, our laws, our own currency, and that was all done under her rule and protection. She was even the one to create the Royal Academy, we all know that we're supposed to be talking about the building up of our people but her life and our country's history overlaps, once again you can't have one without the other."
"Alright so most of the answers that you need for this section of the exam you can find by reading back your answers for the section on our Great First. So aside from that we go to out principals. First question how many of them are there? this is too easy and that's why it only gives you one point. There are twelve Principles. They will ask you to list them in their correct order and all you have to do is list their names so it's, Cultivation, Protection, Health, Strength, Knowledge, Law and Order, Honor, Loyalty, Responsibility, Respect, Peace and Love."
"All right then you state the words that follows each, at first they start off really simple but then as our people got more advanced so did the Principals so. Cultivation - Cultivate the land, harvest the crops and feed our people. Protection - Protect the ones you love by any means necessary. Health - Keep our children strong and healthy so our people can have a longer future. Strength - Work hard, gain strength and keep strength.

"Knowledge - Yearn for knowledge and fight to gain it for you and your children, so you can also be strong in the mind and not just the body. Law and Order - Learn the Laws of this here land and practice them so there can be order among our people. Honor- Honor the Empress of the land as you would honor your mother, the one who gave you life. Loyalty- Stay Loyal to your Empress, your people and land and you will never face betrayal.
"Responsibility - Accept the responsibility given to you by your Empress and land. Respect - Respect Your Empress, your people and your land and you will receive it in return. Peace- We gave the lives of our people to gain peace be sure to keep it or it will all have been for naught. Love- Love your Empress, your land and your people because they will always love you. And that is about it, I hope you got it."
Rime and Cyra nodded and the woman moved around the desk to sit on it as she faced them "okay so there are two of our principals that carry a second meaning and that is Love- Love your freedom for if you love it you will fight to keep it. And Cultivation - Cultivate your mind and body as you cultivate the land for when it is time to harvest you will gain just as much as you gave. Now they will ask you why Cultivation carries a second meaning? Your answer, because Cultivation is the first Principal that came about when we first started to build our people and it was meant to cover, things such as, strength and knowledge that later got their own principals."
She watched as Rime and Cyra flipped to the last pages of their notebooks and waited for them to finish writing before she replaced them. "Okay next question will say what is the purpose of the twelve principles and the simple answer to that is. To ensure that our people and land do not fall under the control of a different species ever again."
"Now lastly they will ask for the effects that the creation of the principals caused and why it worked? This is a long answer so I'll write it down." She went to the board and cleaned it off before picking up a new chalk stick "Okay, you just need to put this and it will cover everything, it will either come up to one or two paragraphs in the paper but make sure you get word for word or it's a no go." Rime and Cyra nodded before she turned to the board and started writing.
"So after the creation of the twelve Principles or Laws Of The Land as it is known in the royal history. The advancement of our people had excelled beyond what they thought was possible because these principals pushed them to do their best. The number of fields grown had expanded and our people were able to grow and harvest many more different types of food. Our people always felt that they would be protected by one of their own if they so needed it. Advancements were made in gathering herbs and turning them into different medicines to keep the people healthy. Schools were built all over the land and eventually the Royal academy was created for people of all ages. As our land expanded laws were created to keep everyone within it safe.
"After the title of Empress had been created the Honor principle was created as a form of protection for both her and the people. The people became loyal to the Empress and listened to any command she passed because they knew it was only for their good. Positions such as the Gold Leafs were soon created and that gave the people responsibility and because of the principal they always made sure to carry it out."
"The people learned to show respect to people that worked in certain categories, such as the Empress, The Gold Leafs, the Mages and so forth. And finally because of how they had advanced the people were soon able to find peace in the way they lived and wanted to keep it that way, for they had learned to love like no other." The woman put down the chalk and stepped away from the board, she waited for her students to look up before smiling at them.
"Okay so that takes care of the entire History subject and the exam and everything we need to know for that. I'm sure that was a lot to take in, but as much as it feels like you've been sitting here for days in the real world maybe just an hour had passed and you were able to retain all that info. But that doesn't matter, we'll go get something to eat, the two of you can get some rest and then we'll be back in a few hours, that sound good?"
Rime nodded as Cyra let out a yawn that mad the woman chuckle. She lead them to the doors and out the room where they appeared in the kitchen. "Okay so tonight I was thinking twelve beefy meat buns and a warm mug of honey milk." Rime and Cyra watched as the kitchen came to life and soon they were eating before they had to take a bath and were left to fall asleep in their very spacious new beds.

(Hiatus to work of my other fiction)What if the world was keeping secrets? Secrets so dark and powerful that one must simply be unaware of them lest they be destroyed. Experiments that are too horrible to reveal, hidden monsters too terrible to release. Darkness the overwhelms the light, power that trumps all, beings of ferocity unseen by the masses. What would you do if you stumbled across one of these secrets? What COULD you do?------------------------------------------------------------[Hey everyone, this is MultiBlitz15. Apart from writing stories for english class in school, this is my first time ever writing a fiction, so please bear with me. I intend this to be a story involving the ""what if's"" of life and the darker sides of humanity. The story will start on Earth but will escalate into something much, much more. That is where the fantasy tag will come into play. On the topic of tags, some of them may not be permanent and some simply haven't been added yet. Also, I DO NOT intend to include sex scenes or major tragedy in my fiction. While there might be sexual references and minor tragedies, there shouldn't be anything beyond that. Finally, this fiction is rated Mature 18+ due to the incredible amounts of blood, gore, brutality, and other stuff I intend to include. Thank you, and please enjoy the story!](P.S If you find grammar mistakes, please let me know in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it.)(P.P.S I finished adding more content to the previous chapters!!)
