Far beyond horizons, beyond what mere civilized humans dared to discover. A place no creature left nor visited. Inhabited by all races, ruled by none. It was where tales were written and myths were forged. The endless continent once named by ancestors "The Cursed Lands". Within the dense forest and under the gaze of fierce beasts, lived the Arthur family.The days followed a dull rhythm. Mr. Sam was a bulky lumberjack. Throughout the course of the day under even the smallest glimpse of sunshine, he'd be carrying his mighty axe, enhanced by his loved wife's prayers, he'd cut through trees and logs. Once under the moonlight, he'd be home, savouring the delish taste of his wife's soup. Mrs Alice was a gentle and shy woman. Once accused of dealing with the devil due to the reddish color of her eyes, she found the one who accepted her and loved her for who she is, her beloved husband. They lived secretly in the woods, not dealing with other races for a decade. They were blessed with a daughter after a while. She had her father's black hair and verdant eyes. She loved accompanying him wherever he went. She'd sometimes sneak out of the cabin to follow him. That affection for her dad didn't affect her love for her mother. She'd help her with whatever she could. Oh Lord, how much trouble she'd cause. She'd wreck things rather than fixing them. But the parents both knew that she was the one who brought joy upon them. Once Charlotte, their daughter, became 5 years old, Mrs Alice expressed a desire she had ever since she gave birth:  She wanted to have a boy. At first, that seemed rather risky for Mr Sam. Anyone who'd live alone here, abandoned among the whispers of large trees, would grow up to become a rather isolated and introverted person. Even Mrs Alice had her own worries. What if their next child has her red eyes? What if he lives through the same pain and struggle she went through her entire life. It seemed everything was leading to dropping the idea. But it just ached their hearts. Seeing their only child, Charlotte, playing alone and talking to her toys. She just needed company, and they're too old to provide one so. For the happiness of their child, they'd give up on their souls. Or rather, the souls that swore upon the day she was born to never cease loving and caring for her. For the next few months, Innocent little Charlotte noticed her mother's belly growing bigger. It was until the sixth month that she fully realized she's having a sibling. She couldn't be happier, nor more curious about how life will go on as well... It couldn't have gone any worse...

(Charlotte)
I haven't seen mommy in a while now. Dad's been all gloomy and ignoring me for a while too. But hey, you know what's cool though? I don't just have a new sibling, I actually have two! Dad named them Alrim and Fortice. Their names can create the word "Alice"! Cool ain't it? I don't know who's "Rimfort" though. Anyway, Alrim has the same dark hair as me and dad. Though his eyes are as red and bright as mom's. Same eyes for Fortice, but his hair is the same hazel one as mom's. So basically, he's a copy of her. I love my brothers so much. I'll be the greatest sister in the universe and make mom happy once she comes back home.
