《Cinderella》17.Resolve
Advertisement
Time passed quickly and soon it was the day before the ball. I had been kept busy with work from my stepmother and had yet to ask if I could go to the ball as well. I had already picked a dress and done everything except for ask for permission to go. So, I set off to find my stepmother.
Even though I could normally find my stepmother in an instant, today she was nowhere in sight. I had checked the drawing room, the dining room, her bedroom, and even the stables, but she was gone. I desperately wanted to go to the ball and I wasn't sure what I would do if she said no. Not only would I be committing treason, but I wouldn't be able to see Anthony either.
I walked into the kitchen feeling defeated. No matter where I had checked, I hadn't found her. I went and leaned against a counter when I realized that someone else was in the room. To be more specific, my stepmother was in the room.
"Have you finished all your work?" She asked. I nodded.
"Speak up. You aren't mute are you" she snarled.
"Yes, ma'am" I quickly said.
"Good. Now I suppose you've heard that it's treason if you don't attend the ball" she said.
"Yes, ma'am" I said.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking" she yelled. Yet what she had said demanded an answer. I didn't bother to point that out though.
"Yes ma'am" I said barely holding back a sigh.
"I suppose I have to let you go to the ball then, but you have to find your own way there, your own dress, shoes, everything else, and you have to complete every chore I give you tomorrow. Understand?" She asked.
"Yes, ma'am" I said resisting the urge to start squealing. I was allowed to go to the ball. I'd be able to see Anthony again. I'd be able to get out of the house. I'd be able to have fun for a night.

"Good" my stepmother said and then she left the room without another word. As soon as she was gone, I ran to Laney's room. I opened the door and saw her and Lele sitting on Laney's bed talking to each other. Before I entered the room, I checked for my stepmother. She wasn't anywhere nearby, so I ran into the room and flopped onto the bed.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Lele teased.
"I get to go to the ball" I squealed.
They both joined me in screaming about the good news. Laney even went as far as to start jumping on her bed. We finally calmed down and Lele asked "There's some sort of condition, isn't there?"
"In order to go, I need to get there on my own and complete every single chore that she gives me tomorrow. If I can't, then I don't get to go" I said.
"Knowing her she'll load you down with so many chores that you won't be able to finish before the ball" Lele said.
"I may have found something that will free all of us from her control, but I still have a bit more research to do before I can be certain" Laney informed us.
"Will you be able to figure it out by tomorrow?" Lele asked.
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything" Laney said.
"I have a feeling she'll do anything to keep Cinderella away from the ball" Lele stated.
"I'll be able to do it. I'll do anything if it means that I get to go to the ball" I resolved.
"And we'll do anything to get you there" both of my sisters promised.
I know it's short, but it's just here to lead into the next part. After all, there needs to be some understanding of why her workload changes from almost impossible to completely impossible. So, this story is reaching it's end and will probably be finished within the next ten chapters more or less. I'm glad all the random people reading this decided to read this story and , I'm glad you were pretty much forced to read this story by me. Just kidding...kind of. Till next note
P.S. This story will end, but my love for pandas will continue

8 284The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
