It has been five years since tranquility and harmony was restored in the three country's affected by the historic prison of stones.My mother came home to us and we nortued her back to a human being because she was looking like a scarecrow after serving some time behind the bars.Just like I imagined, a monument was built in our names and the nine of us, including Anderson, became the government's most valued assets and our accounts specifically was weekly blessed by them. I wished so badly I had a bet on that with Washington.Now, you must want to know who the chosen one became eventually, little Nora opened the spellbound vault because she had the bloods of a Shalonian and a Dogma running in her veins.Owning to the fact that she was fiery and dauntless regardless of her age, she did a magnificent job. Karl Sullivan and Gal Mayer were later convicted and were serving a life sentence in the state prison while Ragnolf Henry committed suicide when he found out that the Capleton's weren
We were just a family of four trying to survive somewhere in the big country of Claudia. I am my mother's first daughter, Helion is the name and I have a younger sister who I am five years older than. Yuvonne is having a hard time settling with the fact that our dad is gone for good. I don't quite blame her because she's just fifteen years and dad had been her best friend before the sudden break up with mum. We use to be an average family because my dad worked in the fish factory at the end of the town. And, well, my mum was a non-academic staff at Make It highschool where I and Yuvonne schooled. We were a one happy contented family who could put up with three square meals every day and fish was inevitable, my mum gives us different recipes of fish foods with the leftovers dad comes home with; fish barbecue, fish and bread, fish fries and Yuvonne's best, fish sauce.But one day, something I perceived as a normal couple misunderstanding and fight got so intense that mum was yelling and
My curiosity set in as I watched my mum's every move. I wanted to know what it is she does that she said I don't want to know because of course, I was dying to know.My mum had a friend, Tessa whom I have never met but I will always find my mum on long calls with her. She leaves very early in the morning and comes back late at night but will make sure we have something to eat for the day. Sometimes she will stay at home during the day and will leave late at night.One fateful night, I decided to follow behind her to see where she goes and what she does.It was a successful one. I followed behind her as she moved five blocks away from home. She was on her Bluetooth making her less aware of me because one thing my mum has is a strong instinct, she made a quick call and waited for five minutes, then a car stopped nearby as she went close to them, she gave them a parcel she had been hiding in her jacket all the while and they gave her some money, after a small talk with one of them, they d
I broke down and I cried my eyes out hugging my pillow. The past weeks had been hell for me and Yuvonne, I hated dad for leaving us in this trying times. From mum's story the other night, I learnt that dad may or may not be my biological father. Mum had a very dark story growing up and she doesn't share alot. I felt like I don't know my mum and there is more to what she had not and would never tell me. She mentioned also that she had three sisters and a brother, where will they be now? Aren't family supposed to look out for each other? At this point I knew that if some how mum doesn't come back, the responsibility would automatically be shifted to me and I don't think I'm ready for that, I can survive on my own but then what about Yuvonne?I went to Yuvonne and I asked her to give me her hands, she did and I prayed for mum's safety as we hugged each other, slept and hoped to see tomorrow.Tomorrow came and she was nowhere, I dialed her line but it was not connecting, I stayed calm an
The Marshalls is an establishment were children of ages twelve to twenty three are taken to be trained skillful sword swingers and arm handlers before taking to the military if found worthy. It is the shortest route and the window to the Claudia Military popularly known as the KS MILITARY, CLAUDIA. When we arrived, mum gave us a hug and took us to the counter after putting down her information in a paper provided, she left.For the first time in my life, I felt, alone. Walking into the reception hall, I looked up and I saw the picture of the president of Claudia and the next picture beside it had a blur face with no name tag but an abbreviation, KS. There is a giant writing of the name MARSHALL on the wall and on the three legs of the letter M was an anchor on each of them facing the west hand side. An anchor? Is this a fucking pirate school? I asked myself. I rubbed my eyes and exhaled not wanting to think about it that much or read unnecessary meaning into it so I looked away and my
The next day was hectic. We were woken up by a very huge bell, we wore our sweat pants and went out to the field for morning exercise by 5:00am. With my sleepy eyes, I almost fell on my way to the field, Yuvonne is an early waker so she had no problem with that instead, she made fun of me. " Hehe, girl I almost forgot you are a log, don't worry, I will catch you if you fall" " They could have allowed us to atleast wash our fucking mouth or even face" I said after I checked my breath, damn it was bad."Welcome to Marshalls love" She mocked as she held me and we walked to the field to join the others. Bull, Julius Arms was already at the field with his deputy as they guided our exercise routine. During our resting time, a girl walked up to us with a paper. She was putting on a double lensed eyes aid, it made her look like a nerd but she was gorgeous by the way." Hola!, you are the occupants of uhmm room 101?""Right" I answered drinking from my flask not looking away from her. "Is t
I felt someone tugging me at the odd hour of the night. We had a long day because of course, the Nulls orientation has started. I was long gone in my slumber,and you already know, if there's something I hate that much, it is being interrupted while sleeping. I unconsciously got angry but my instinct told me it is unusual, immediately, I pick up my pillow to defend myself, it was the only thing I could get my hands on. Looking clearly as my sleepy eyes wore off, I noticed it was Mercury. I brought down my pillow, calming my already alarmed soul as I slid my hands to my temple to relax my brows.I opened my eyes wide in surprise as I whispered to her to avoid waking Yuvonne who was sleeping above me;"How the fuck did you get in here and what are you doing up at this time?" "The door opened when I turned the knob. Helion you need to come with me, now" She replied in whispers.Still on her eyes aid at that time of the night, I knew Mercury's eye defect was actually a serious one. She ha
It was a Saturday morning. Yes, it's been couple of weeks and I and Yuvonne are getting comfortable with the people around us. But I can tell you, I am not yet comfortable with the environment.Mercury is doing well with the Vikings language learning and I have been patiently waiting for her to get there.On the walls of all the berets camp is the Viking's language, the reception not left out. Like every other day, we woke up, went for morning exercise, I could see myself growing muscles and getting light by the day. Our orientation classes ended few days ago and we have learnt a lot.After the morning exercise, we went in to shower and dress up for the day, I am still getting used to a uniform everyday.We went to the refectory for our breakfast. I also happened to make another girlfriend from my camp, Asher, she had a social spirit, driven and intelligent and was very good with handling guns and weapons. Mercury came out of the dorm very late, which is strange because she rises even
