(THIS IS OPTIONAL. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO THE STORY!!!)

~ Hello everyone! thank you, all of you, to read my story! This story is based on the song you might know "Soldier, Poet, King." by "The Oh Hellos." I hope you all can enjoy this story because it's never going to end. I will never end this book because if it gets recognition I will continue to make more.~

     ~ Sincerely, the author. ares.



"Rozaih, if I come up and you're not in your formal wear, you'll be grounded for two months!!" My mother screamed as she quickly started to walk up the creaky wooden stairs of our wooden home.

"Okay, okay, I'm up! There's no need to yell at the crack of Sarnia!

          My mother has always been a straightforward/strict person. But I can't blame her, she had a pretty rough childhood. And a pretty bad life in general. But I don't want to start this story off with bad feelings. Because it's going to be the story of how I met two wonderful people, and not only did we change it, we saved the world.

          When I get downstairs I greet my mother with our people's greeting sign. It's a sign where we put our hands across each other on our chest. Then we put it out and put our hands into a triangle shape and the rest of our fingers out. My mother greets me with the same greeting.

"Sweetheart, you forgot your helmet at the academy!" My mother

says, pulling out the letter my professor sent from the academy.

"What! I could have sworn I put it in my saddle pack on the way home.." I say.

          My baby brother starts to cry. I walk over to the refrigerator to get him his milk. I take care of my baby brother Connih (CON - NEE) when my mother is gone. My father can't do it because he passed away when I was 5. I miss my father very much, I have some great memories with him that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.

          My father was one of the greatest soldiers in the country. It hurt many people when he died in the "Mighty war." Although my father was great, many people expect me to be like him. For this, I don't tell new people that I meet that he is my father because then that's all they will talk about. And he was considered attractive anyway.

          "Ok mother, I'm on my way to the academy!" I say running out of the house. I get on my horse Nemises (NE-MIH-SEES). I love riding my horse, it's my favorite thing to do. Whenever I feel sad or I can't make up my feelings, I get on my horse. And what makes it even better is that the forest is beautiful. 

      The trees shimmer like gold. The different colors all around with their dust forming off of them are quite the sight to see. As I run through the beautiful forest, something catches my eye.

"What's this?" I ask myself as I pick up a piece of paper that has a missing child on the poster, it says:

" Have you seen me? My name is "Connih" and my parents have been looking for me for 2 years! If you find me my family will give you 3 million earnings in coins! "

" What. That must be another Connih. Not my baby brother. I don't have time for this, I have to get to the academy! " I think to myself jumping on my horse and on my way to the academy.

This child they call "Connih" can't be the little baby that has been in my life ever since I was a little kid. This cannot be right. Was he..stolen? Did my mother... steal a child that didn't even belong to her?? My mother could be imprisoned for kidnapping! I can't lose my mother too.

All of my horrible thoughts were interrupted by my professor as I realize I made it to the academy.

"Rozaih, you're 3 minutes late! You know what that means don't you?"

"Yes professor, I apologize! I was-"

"I don't want to hear it Rozaih, you know what happens when you're late, and this is the third time!" She interrupts me.

I park my horse in the horse lot where all the students put their horses when they get to the academy. As I run into the luxurious academy i pay my respects to the huge photo of my father on the wall. His burial site is here in the academy since he was once a student here himself. It's time to get to training!

"Oh would you look at that, daddies boy is here!" My bully and her friends laugh as they point at me.

" Shut up briska! (BRISK - AH) It's way too early to be making fun of people. Do that stuff in the afternoon or something." I say as I walk past the group of boys and girls.

Briska has been my rival ever since primary school. Her father and my father actually knew each other. They were rivals as well. But as they got older they put their differences aside and became the best of friends. And honestly, I can't say the same for me and briska.

"Hello, guys!" I say as I walk up to my close friends.

"Hey, zaih!" "Hello rozaih" My friends say as we all do our greeting signs.

"Rozaih, you won't BELIEVE who I and my family saw at the market yesterday!" My friend Jolenurah ( JO - LEN - NUE - RAH )

Says.

"Well, who is it??" I saw in excited pondering.

" We saw her highness! " my other friend Gandolf ( GAN - DOLLF ) says with a wide smile on his face.

"No way! Since when did she start to visit the towns folk?" I say with a chuckle.

"Ok Children settle down, settle down. We have a special guest joining us today!"

All the immature children start to "ooh" and "aah" as they wonder who the special guest might be today.

You will not believe who walks in.
