"Before we get on with anything, we need to first off know what our problems are." Mr. Big baby, Peter Toski offered in the throne room
as we gathered together. We had no choice than to create a better Talot for the sake of the people. For that, we all needed to work hand in hand as one. And of course, we had to literally be one for us to achieve anything good, even if we wouldn't get along on a normal day. Plus in reality, I wasn't really left with much of a choice in the first place, especially since Mona and Lily were out of town."We don't have any problem really, Peter. Just get the bloody cure for the septic and save Talot." Tobin quickly interrupted almost before Peter could finish with his statement. "So maybe we should think well before we speak."
"Hmph! I just thought-"
"You thought nothing you big baby." He cuts in, without even letting Peter finish his whining in peace.
"Quiet you two." I felt a
"True. The earlier the better." Tobin agreed.I sighed, wanting to agree with them but weighed down by the thought of so many other things. "We also have to settle with the other Lords." Even if nobody else would agree with me, I knew that strangely scary looking glare on Tobin's face would one hundred percent understand and agree with me. That was enough already. With him, I could gain enough power and even share with him. Just the thought was enough to drain my heart in the gutter. Remembering the one person I had made my right hand man, the commander of my soldiers. I wondered if it was okay to have someone else in his place only because he was gone. But most importantly, I wished he was just gone for a while, succeeding with his mission. Alive. I remembered him and a smile worked up on my face, only reminding him just how much I missed him.
"The lords would have to bow to us as soon as we provide the cure." Tobin's voice boomed loud the room, bringing me back to reality from day dreaming about Bellamy. I never thought that even I could be allowed to day dream about a person. It wasn't like my heart wasn't opened to love, especially even after Richard had chosen to betray our trust and run to the dark Lord. Even with that, I still had the guts to dare to love and feel affection. With all the dark past and fate of mine, it was still funny to think that love could still work it's way to find me. Then just as I was about to reply Tobin, reminding him that the lords weren't the type to just easily overlook, the Grinch raised up her book with just three large words written boldly and edible: 'LORDS FINDING CURE.' I didn't even notice that she was probably diverting her full attention to our discussion."Really?" I asked her in shock. They were so many things to say, but finding the cure seemed a bit over obsesse
"What is it Amelia!?" Peter screamed out loud like a little baby who's just been born, crying like he has just been attacked. "Ahh, what happened to you?" By the time he could even finish his statement, he was already at the entrance of the palace door. Shirtless. With big flabby stomach dancing in front of him.Don't ask me what, why or even how. It wasn't really a pretty scene to see if you asked me."Peter, relax." Amelia scoffed as she danced over to our side, with a big smile across her face. "I found it, and I can't even believe my eyes. I can't believe it." Her eyes squinted as soon as they got bright and her smile dulled and faded from sparkling remarkably happy to an emotionless one. At that time, Peter was already slowly advancing to meet us, both of his arms swung up high, as he tried wearing his tunic, adjusting his cloth pretty well."Amelia," I called to calm her down as she was far from calm at the mom
Happiness is in everything; I dare you to invite it in.It is in the rain, cool and fresh, just as deeply as thesunshine, for they bring forth different emotions.Happiness is enjoying the moment, being presentfor that gift that is living, and allowing it to becomeintense.For me, there is something about chopping a homegrown vegetable that soothes me to my soul; Ilisten to the sound as the knife cuts and then themetal meets the wood. I let my hands move slowlyin the silence of the room, allowing randombirdsong and windy gusts to infuse my mind. Theearthy flavours develop an intensity, there is a burstof aroma with each cut and in the quietness within,I am happy.Other times I burst with life in the joy of movement.I love to dance to vibrant music, loud and strong. Ifeel my limbs move with the beat, my mindenjoying the heady ride. There is something aboutcycling in the countryside, with or without music, ina

For Kerik happiness is simple. It's hugs with hermama and playing "let's pretend," it's an upliftingstory at bedtime and the knowledge that me andher mom have life all taken care of. Food is alwaysavailable, she has a comfortable bed. She hasfriends to play with. We walk in the woods andsplash in the stream. She doesn't care what thetime is unless she's hungry. Sure, she throws a fitwhen her brain can't understand her world, I'm sureI still do that too. Sometimes she screws her faceup and stomps her feet, goes red in the face andwaves her hands, but then my tantrums don't lookpretty either - not that she ever sees them. I want tolearn from her how to be happy again, I want to seethe world through her eyes. If you showed her agold coin or a kitten and asked her to pick one,she'd take the silly cat every time. There's a simplewisdom there and I love it.The happiness is infecti
Alone now in the woods, it looked ominous and eerily quiet. Even the sound of the horse's foot was silent. All that could be heard was the susurration of the leafs in the gusty winds. The old yellow and brown leafs hustled in the the wind, as the sound of dead, weak trees, creaked at every push the wind gave. The horse neighed as if complaining why we weren't there yet. And he was right. The funniest thing was that, I didn't even know where I was heading to. I halted the horse to a stop, then went under a huge tree with my guide-the magical book, to lead the way. After sitting down on the heaves of leaves that pilled up on the floor, I took out my dagger to feed the book of its food. Blood."Nothing?" I found myself muttered when I saw that the book showed nothing on the page. It just remained blank. At first when I brought out the dagger to cut myself on purpose, it hurt a lot. The process of putting a blade straight through your skin, was definitely a pai
"Very well then. You will get to reflect on your choices well enough in the future."The tone in her voice alerted nothing but one sense. Danger. I had endangered the lives of others because of my foolish pride. I could have walked away politely, and save others. Tara. But leaving the devil to reign did not fully assure me that my family and friends would be saved."This is your last chance Kerik." She added, then paused. Waiting for me to fully accept to the proposal. My mind raced over a million things. What if I choose this option, and defeating the devil seems more impossible than I'd expect. Then I would never forgive myself. If only I could get more time, more days to puzzle over the prodigious decision. But even if I was opportune to that kind of indulgence, I feared my answer would still remain constant."Yes. That's what I choose. This is what feels best to me, so I've made up my mind." Her head lowered into a slow s
