"You are like a rock liliana, a rock in a world of granite!"my mother would always yell at me in In stern voice "but unlike the granite you must never be changed!" I never understood what these words she would spoke to me meant,I always feared I wouldn't understand them. She would tell me to stand out but for an 8 year old girl all I ever wanted was to fit in.i didn't have many friends it was considered strange not to have both your parents and after I lost my mom All I had was Eric but I never minded I just tried harder to prove myself. why would anyone want to be different I would think. I never saw a need to stand out any more then I did now. But my mother saw this as a gift.She was a one of a kind women the villagers would tell me she was a strong, independent, and fierce a true born queen. But after the war she was taken I was 8 then 11 years have passed since then.

We speak of the old war at times, the villagers would tell me stories of the old world were we would fight for freedom the world were we weren't confined. This is the world my mom died to get back but never achieved. this is the world I was left stranded in once it collapsed. They tell me we weren't always the village we are now once we were a prosperous and thriving city. Magnificent towers for house stood in the place of the now warn down shacks and and pieces of debris from long ago. the city that was once full of life now is replaced with a boring and dull skeleton of it. I don't remember these times not a lot at least. But what I do recule is the merchants selling various things in the market. I remember the lights that hung from the buildings and the cheerfulness of the people. I also remember the necklace my mom had bought me it was the last thing I had of her. I miss those times the freedom we had I wish I knew it more.

Now My country is controlled be Der Böse. No one has seen him since the old world the world that he has destroyed but he's said to be a slim man with the eyes of a raven. He gave away land to his loyal supporters to rule as he pleased. All but one kingdom was destroyed and the are said to be a thriving and wealth country.the funny thing is He thought he had won but even after years of waiting an owl never forgets they only learn.
