My journey? Well, no one really asked me about my life before, I guess I would say I was an orphaned child living in the streets of Bakatta. This place was huge in my small eyes, and there was this really pretty lady who everyone called Mrs Universe, and she was walking around the market. That’s when it all started really my life from hell to heaven to hell again. Now the scene is set I guess, so um, enjoy.

Morning broke on the kingdom of Bakatta in the early years of the fifth era I woke up like usual, tired, hungry, alone, nothing new really. However lately there has been this strange guy walking around pronouncing himself as the lord of darkness or some crap, I don’t really know, I’m just a kid what else should I know. I got up stretched and went on the hunt for some food I could steal.. take, without issue. Missing out on dinner really screwed me over this time I feel terrible. My stomach was in terrible pain, such so that I was practically crawling around, and my stomach growling was loud enough to get me caught this time. I think to myself is this really it, when will the day my hunger takes over and I die in a corner of the market forgotten? That would surely suck for me right?”

No, I can’t die right now foods just too good to not die over. Ah a loaf of bread on the corner of a stall, and it even looks freshly baked! I’m just gonna grab this piece of bread, please don’t notice my tiny hands, please don’t look down. My eyes were closed but I surely felt something I pulled it back as fast as a I could but when I opened my eyes. “Um, little girl what do you think your doing?” “I was, um just grabbing some food?” “And how are ya gonna pay for said food huh?” My stomach was groaning at this point as I put my head down looking completely pathetic. “I can not sir, I’m sorry sir for trying to steal your bread.” “Good now if I catch you tryin to do it again I wont have such sympathy even for a child as young as you are ya understand?” “Yes sir.” He let me go thank god but I was still starving, huh I guess this is it then, my last day then. (A muffled few voices from the recent market was in the distance.) “Ah Miss Universe what can I get such a fine lady such as yourself today uh?” “Oh guta your too kind, but please just Audrie is fine, I was wondering if I can buy some bread and milk today.”

“Haha my ears must be deceiving me don’t you have those in the castle?” The castle? Wait the universe lady? I heard about her before, what’s she doing here in the market? I looked around the corner from an alley way. “Sure for you half off Audrie.” “Thanks Guta. Have a wonderful day.” “You too. Man what a lady.” Now where is she going? Wait why is she coming this way, crap am I in trouble? I gotta hide. I hide in a pile of old boxes. “Hey now little girl, why hide? I’m only here to help you, don’t be afraid.” She reached down for my hand, MY hand, I didn’t know what to do. Take the food or run away, but where would I run too? I took the bread but I asked her first. “Who are you?” “My, my, what a beautiful voice you have young one, My name is Audrie Taren. What may your name be?” “I don’t have a name.” “That wont do now would it. Tell you what I know your hungry and thirsty but now you aren’t right?” I shook my head yes. “Would you like to come with me and never have those feelings again?” I nodded extremely fast at the question, I never wanted to starve again or feel pain of being alone. “Then grab my hand.” “Okay.” I grabbed her hand, it felt, soft like warm bread. When I grabbed her hand I felt at peace and relaxed. She walked me out of the alley allowing me to eat the bread as we walked past the bread stall. “What?” I stuck my tongue out at the mean man as we walked past up towards the castle.

“Ah welcome back Audrie did you have a nice trip to the market?” “Yes your Majesty. I found another suiter for the role.” Role? What do they mean by that. She walked me up to the king, I’ve never seen so much jewelry before in my life and there were these girls with dog like ears behind him they all smiled at me and lead me to a room where there was this big young boy around my age. “Morgen, I would like to welcome your new sibling. Her name is…?” She seemed to think too herself a lot. “Mordred.” Mordred? So that’s my name and that’s Morgen, and now we are brother and sister? “The other two will be here soon so for now get to know each other.

“Sup Mordred, Morgen’s the name, how are ya?” He gave me his hand to shake. “I’m good.” “So how did she get you?” “I was hungry so I went to grab some food and was caught. I ran away but she came to me offered food and something to drink and asked me if I wanted someplace to be where I wouldn’t be like that anymore, so I agreed.” “Wow so you’re an orphan homeless child who now belongs to the kingdom like me?” “Owned? I don’t think so.” “Well I don’t think it matters she was super nice to me too, I was actually in the middle of a fight with some other street kids but my size scared them off easily ha. But then some big scary guys in armor grabbed me and told me I was under a.. areest? No arrest yeah arrest, for fighting. Audrie saved me by taking me with her here.” “Whoa so your like a fighter guy then right? You would take down anybody?” “Within reason I think.” “Where do you think She went?” “Audrie I think to get the other two,” Young Children I have two other surprises for you.”

Audrie came into the castle hold the hands of two other boys, “Welcome to your new homes, Alex and Duncan, now go along young ones go meet your new brother and sister.” So these two other boys came over one was kinda cute and the other was cuter but ill never tell hehe. “Hi my names Morgen and this is Mordred.” “Hey I’m Alex.” “And I’m Duncan.” “ How where you guys found?” “Ill go first then you Duncan since.” “Yeah okay.” “She found me walking the streets alone trying to help out others for nothing in return, kinda pathetic if you ask me.” “Not really I think its kinda heroic.” Wow I cant believe I said that to him. “Thanks I guess Mordred.” My eyes squinted as I turned around in embarrassment.

“I was reading some old books in the library and she walked over to me acknowledging my intelligence. I said there were not enough books to let me learn new things and she offered to let me learn more here so I agreed.” We all seemed to get along and then Audrie came in to the room. We all sat down on this big comfy chair and listened. “Now that you are all here I have an announcement to make, you are all now part of the kingdoms royalty and nobility. I am your Mother and that’s my name now, you will all become or kingdoms protectors and knights.” “Knights?” What’s she talking about knights? “I will train you all under my wing to become great and valiant knights of Magic and Honor just like me.” This was amazing, I have a family, brothers, a Mom and now a roof over my head, life couldn’t get any better.

It’s already been a week and I feel like its been a year, Mother has been treating us like her own children, complimenting us. Praising us, and preparing us for the future. I can’t wait to see what she has in store now. A Month has passed and I’m well acquainted with all the guards in the castle now, some of them even gave me a nickname, Mor Mor. What a weird nickname but ill take it. Yesterday Mother gave me and the others our very own weapons and told us in about a year we would master it and become magic users like her! Im so excited to finally become a magical user like her.

Me and Alex had a fight today, ugh it was so stupid it was just about who liked Mother more and who she liked the most, obviously I was the most liked but Alex said that she liked him more. As if. But mother came to us and told us that she loved each of us equally. That made me feel special. Whatever, that’s not what’s important tomorrow we get our new magic powers, I wonder what mine would be, maybe I’ll have the power to levitate, maybe control weather, or maybe something cooler! Who knows I cant wait for tomorrow.

“Hey mom I was wondering why I was the only one without a name from my parents why’s that?” “Hmm I don’t exactly know why but I would have to say that they just couldn’t find the perfect name for their perfect child.” “Then if I was so perfect why did they get rid of me?” “Not get rid of they let you go to survive better then they could and look you already becoming a knight!” “Hey your right thanks mother!” running off I was proud from that moment forward to make mother proud and be at her side no mater what.

“Now close your eyes again Mordred think of what you did to that stupid tree, try again.” “Me… measma.” A few sparks flew out but the blade became extremely hot, so hot so that when I placed the sword down into the ground it melted away the dirt. “Ah im sorry for hurting the ground.” “Haha, its okay Mordred, it happens, now be more confident and aim, lets see, am for that rock right there.” “Okay!” I closed my eyes “Measma!” My sword shot a freaking laser out of it and melted the rock! Holy crap I didn’t know I had such a cool weapon. “That’s amazing Mordred keep practicing every now and again and you’ll fully master your new powers!” “Thanks Mother I couldn’t do it without you.” She gave me a smile before heading inside the castle for dinner. I was starving so I followed after boasting about my new power to the boys, who were obviously jealous.

Its been 5 years since me and the others were picked up each of us were 15 now proud knights of the empire and lord. Today though me and the others are being sent to this old crypt to clear out some dead guys cool right? Well it was fun Morgen pretty much smashed everything while me and Alex attacked anything that got through as Duncan warded them off. We proved ourselves worthy yet again.

I think I’m starting to lose my mind now. I mean I’m 22 years old I shouldn’t be jealous I should be happy for Alex. So why am I feeling this way? And lately the other races have been getting on my nerve I don’t understand how Morgen finds those Elates adorable, they look like small animals with Human attributes, weirdo. Duncan is being Duncan, sitting in the library boring, boring, boring. Hmm what else is new, nothing really I got to slaughter a bunch of rebels today so that was neat, Mother says im getting stronger everyday but am I? Am I really?

HAHAHAHAHA so now the man has a family with that bitch of a lady, *ahem* sorry I had to get it off my chest WOW does that feel better. And he’s calling the girl Liz, ew I feel sorry for the girl, already just came out and given that name. The kings been working on a concorda to aline with all races as equal and free, like that will ever work, I already like it the way it is us humans on top. My heads been aching the past few days, constant throbbing for minutes even hours on end, then nothing for days. I honestly think im losing it at this point.

Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate! Damn that king. Damn that Alex and his family and everyone else! I, I just can’t anymore the peace the equality its all POINTLESS. And the king is almost about to finish the sign, I cant! No I need to stop that here and now! Maybe I can convenice him not to sign it. Walking up stairs to the kings room, No guards? This should take only 5 minutes to explain. I walk in and what do I see, the treaty getting sent off BY THE KING! No no no no no no no no no, Not today!

“Ah Mordred my lovely Knight, how can I help you today?” “put a sock in it gramps, explain why you had to sign that treaty we are the dominate race! Why ruin it?” “Why? Because in order to grow you need to let others in. don’t you understand this?” “I can’t believe after 12 years I would fall to disbelief for my king?” “Um Mordred you okay?” “No.” “Are you sur…” “IM MENTALLY FUCKED UP!” *SLASH* *thud* His frail cold body feel to the floor, YES, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! He’s dead, I can finally put an end to the dumbest ruler line I have a stop to make.

*Slash* *thud *Slash* *thud* now to to kill alex… *Stab* “Sorry Mordred you left me no choice.” “Damn… bested… by second to last.” *Thud* huh so, this is what my own blood tastes like. It’s… salty. Huh? Where are my brothers going, are they… leaving me… I guess I deserve it. But I feel, so cold, and the world is darker now. Am I a goner? I guess… so….

“My, My, what do we have here a dead knight of the lord, she could be useful in Veksis’s and mine plan to overthrow the gods, but that will be for later. First. Arise my child of darkness, feel reborn in the world of fire and love.!” A…alive? “why am I alive? Why was I brought back? Who are you?” “Your alive because I need you, you where brought back because you left the world unjustly, and I am Lasandra the goddess of fire, and seduction. You now serve me.” “Serve, you… to do what?” “My bidding. For now stay in hiding with me then you can have your revenge for your unfair death.

Mom, where’s mom? I want to hold her, I’m scared. Its to hot now I want to be cold. Where is my family, why am I alone with this God. I should be dead now I’m hiding alive what’s the difference? I don’t want to be alive. I… want to be dead like I should. (Tears ran down her face as she fell to her knees crying in terror of her future.)

Morning struck like any other morning, day after day night after night, I was tasked with protecting this stupid mountain because Lasandra finely found the person who murdered her husband. Who cares, not me I just have to suffer no matter what I do. Alex… protecting a woman? No, no that’s the champion, I doubt what Lasandra said about me living free if I kill the champion for her but worth a try. I got nothing better to do.

He, he touched mothers grave?! Now he crossed the line. (Mordred bolted into the crypt chamber. “How, How, How dare you touch Mother!” “Mordred wait please!” Mordred only had Alex as a target but turned to see the others armed, “Not this time.” Mordred Stamped on the ground which incased The other three in earth cocoons immobilizing them. “We… can’t move!” cried out Kali. “Mordred what are you doing here? Why attack out of nowhere?” “Why, because you touched Mother when she was sleeping, that’s why. NOW YOU’LL PAY! MEASMA!”

*stab* *cough* *thud* Again I see the blue sky dim, it has been what 10 years since I last died. Ten years of suffering I can’t, I just can’t! “Please don’t let her take me. Im sorry for everything I’ve done, the pain I suffered for what I did to you was more unbearable then death. I… I don’t want to go back.” He grabbed my hand, he actually forgave me? Tears rolled down her face as she looked up into the sky and closed her eyes. “Final… Destination reached, Home.”
