LOGIN"Getting lectured yet again? come on Angela cut the poor man some slack." a male voice said lightly
Angela and Christopher turned to look at the layed back voice.
"Thomas you shouldnt encourage him! Things like that are one of the biggest reasons that most of the school looks down upon him, his attitude towards other students and classes."
It was probably Chris's only other friend at school. Thomas Belenkov was the son of a mercenary who had been given a noble title after saving a member of the empires royal family on the battlefield. Once the war had ended the empire had paid for him to be enrolled at this school
"oh please all those rich and noble pricks would look for any reason to give spit on him. The poor soul could be on fire and they wouldnt even piss on him to put it out."
Angela sighed "Thomas you realize you yourself are a noble right?"
"Nope thats my father"
"Which makes you one as well..."
"Thats up for debate. Aaaaanyway if our friend here wasnt so Prickly, i mean respected and loved by our dear fellow students then who would keep all your would be suitors and kiss asses away from you. Really in my oppinion you should thank him."
"Hey thanks thomas."
"Christopher shut up!"
"Oh she used the full name."
"Damnit Thomas, dont make me test our this new club my father gave me after you broke my last one!"
"That i broke!? It broke when you hit me outside the head!"
While Christopher was extremely relieved that Brianna had escaped he could not let his guard down. There was multiple times he had to duck or hide somewhere as the soldiers ransacked their village. He would pass houses and could here things being smashed broken or hear someone excited about something they had found. It wasn't long until he reached his home only to discover that it was empty. Filled with fear and panic he looked around the house only to discover that there was no signs of a stuggle, no blood, most of all no bodies. Christopher was both happy and terrified."Well come on then you god damn cowards!" Christopher could hear his fathers voice accompanied by weapons clashing. Chris ran outside, his mother was being shielded by his father who was holding his sword out front of him. There was already the bodies of five soldiers around him, although anyone could see he was beginning to tire and had multiple small cuts on him, Worst of all they were surrounded. One of th
"Please sir, We what did could we have possibly done to deserve this ?" A man could be heard begging."It's quite simple you were born in this useless kingdom." A man responded in an arrogant voice. 'This useless kingdom?' Chris thought to himself. He risked a quick peak and was shocked at what he saw. All of the men were armored, but what really caught his attention was many of the men were holding the banner of the Eternal Empire. 'What the hell!?' He knew The Eternal Empire and the Kingdom had been walking on egg shells for a while but There had been no declaration of war, he also knew for a fact it wasnt like their village had been hostile or attacked anyone. What could we have possibly done to deserve this."Please please let us go and you can help yourselves to anything you want.""I'm growing tired of listening to this sniveling, go ahead and kill all the men." The leader ordered. Without hesitation the soldiers moved into position raising their weapons, the

When Christopher and Brianna arrived at the lake they continued to talk about plans for the festival as Chris began his work chopping down a tree and cutting it up into fire wood. Around noon He took a lunch break sharing the Freshly baked rolls and his lunch with Brianna."So I never asked you before, but since you have decided to court me I suppose it's something I should ask you. Are you going to be like the rest of the boys in our village and intend to join the military and become knights? The way i've seen you fight you're probably the only one who would stand a chance." She asked him with a slight smile."Hey now who said I intend to court you?" Brianna stopped and put a hand on her hip and just stared at him. " Ok so maybe that is the goal. Honestly though I don't really have an interest in joining the military. I was thinking ill either learn more from my father and do smithing, or I guess im pretty good with numbers from what I was told and thought of trying to
Six years ago"Chris hurry and wake your ass up already. You have to go cut some wood today. Hurry and see if your mother needs anything then grab your lunch." Jeff, Christophers father called out kicking his door wide open."Yes father." Chris mumbled. He lazily rolled out of his bed standing half dead looking, Jeff honestly wasn't really sure that Christophers shoulders and form could possibly slouch / sag more then it already was."Im coming.." Chris mumbled as he walked towards the door with his eyes half closed. Jeff could only shake his head as he walked out of Christophers room. A few seconds after leaving the room, out in the kitchen a loud WOMP could be heard. Jeff didn't even bother to look back, he was already used to this. Who he called zombie Chris had just walked face first into the wall next to the doorway."Trish every day I spend around that boy i'm leaning towards you had an affair at some point, there is no way thats my child." Jeff l
Everyone grabbed their weapons and began to move towards Christopher, but Thomas moved in front of them holding up his hands blocking their path."Your honor is bull shit!" A small smile began to spread over his face. " Many people called me a monster over the years but I can say this much, if I am a monster just know it was your people that set me on the path to becoming a monster. Do me a favor and remember one thing. I hate your people, don't give me a reason.""Hayden, you good?" Thomas asked over his shoulder. As if a haze was lifted from Christopher his narrowed eyes opened wide and he saw the pale terrified look on Sarah's face, his hand still around her throat which he could feel her trembling underneath his grip. He blinked his eyes a few times them darting in almost every direction, slowly he released his grip on her."I- I am sorry." He muttered under his breath and began to walk away into the woods. Thomas lowered his hands and went back to his se
