All my life i've wondered how nature came to be. How beautiful it was , How scay and how compliactated it was afterall, nature just like people isnt perfect and lucky enough i was able to experience just how unbalanced this world truly is.


A girl with ginger long hair, green eyes and freckles on her face is seen planting in some field lighty humming while working. "Siana" She hears her father call for her" Its time for dinner" she hears him yell. Siana picks up her bag of seed and heads on the trail to her home she goes to the shed in the back of there house and she places it there and close the shed heading back inside to the house. she opens the back door and opens it walking to the living room and sits down at the table waiting for her dad to bring the food out. After a few minutes her dad comes out with a pot and some plates and a cooking towel he places the towel down then the pot on top of it and places the plate down one for himself her and her mo- .. one at an empety chair. Siana uh dad you miss a spot she said pointed to the plate at the empty seat. "Right" her father sighed and took the plate off the seat. Siana had started to think about her mom she had died about half a year ago of course she missed her mother and was grieveing just not grieveing as hard as her father. She grieve ... In her own little ways, like wearing her mother's necklaces on own neck. Meanwhile her father would often think she still here phsically in ever acvity of his life and it scared her a little she didnt want to become like her father a poor old sad man full of sorrow and sadness for his late love. She looked at her father for a second "Soo.. How was work Papa" she spoke to lighty and change the topic of the conversation. "Fine" her dad spoke. "Just the same old same old". "Maybe i can help with your shop it would give me another skil to gain" Siana Spoke ."Really" he spoke . "You would be fine with being around hot molten fire and feeling like a fresh baked loaf "he asked. She nodded" I work the fields and its a little hot outisde I think I can handle it im a hard worker". " l,ll think about it" her father says . After that the mood was just akward with the mufflted sounds of the other townfolk doing there business and them quietly eating there food. After they finshed Siana grabbed the plates . "I can take care of thease" She spoke. she takes the dishes and cleans them and wipes the table down with cloth then she rings it out and leave it on the kitchen counter. After she heads back outside to get a bucket of water she brings it inside and puts it inside of the gas stove and leaves it for a few minutes. after the minutes were up she would turn the stove off and get cloth to hold the bucket so she wouldnt get her hands burned by the bucket. She then takes the bucket to there bathtub and dumps the water in the tub. She dose the same thing with putting water in the bucket and putting in the oven for a few minutes and turns the stove off. she knocks on her dads door Her dad opens the door "Papa theres hot water in the tub "She speaks. "Thank you Liebling" He spoke. "I appreciate it you dont have to do this you know, I could get the water myself.". Its fine not a problem plus it helps my arms to get stronger Sianna Spoke. She makes a muscles with one of her arms. Her father lighty chuckles Wwell thank you anyways what would i do without you" he spoke heading to the bathroom to bathe. She hears the door close and headed back downstairs to get a book form there little library of books she looks for a book and reads it. Conan and the Golems Curse "huh" she wonder. She sits down next to the bookcase and reads the book. "The golem was double the size of Conan with dark golden souless eyes with long bullky arms and big legs" she reads. "Are golmens acutally that big" she thinks after all her only knowledge of other creatures was from books and most descripation of them desribe them as animalstic and monster like and just plain evil. "Why are they evil "she wonder she found it recuring that the monster would always just me the one to cause problems in theses book because they were made as bad but if there so bad why were they made like that .She thinks they couldnt have just been made to cause chaos and bloodshed right. As she was thinking she stuck in trance for a second she heard the bathroom door open and broke out of her trance she puts the book back up and grabs a cloth once agian to get the bucket out of the oven and went upstairs and dump it into tub once again. She Then went to her room and grabed her sleeping clothes and a towel then dump the bucket into the tub again. She stripped of her clothes and got into the bath leting the heat of the water cool her body She lets her ealier thoughts fly to the back of her mind. She soons falls in a slumer dreaming of what the golem from the book would acutally look like tall with a big build . In her dream she watched as Conan weaked the monster and ask "Where have you hidden my child". The golem dosent's say anything and Conan kill it and walks away. Sianan walks up to the dead monster looking at it "Why did it look underweight" she wonder why istnt it big and it was small compared to what the book said there heights were. She see Conam again figting another golem that fit the description that the book had and she looked at the other monster and back to the small one reapeatly a couple time, then it clicked this was a baby" but why would Conan kill a baby dosen't he have a kid in the book . I know its a dream but why would my mind think about this". All of a sudden she wakes up from the slumber she had fell into to and is met with cold water in the bathtub she sigh and washs herself up getting out drying herself and changing into the clothes she grabbed from ealirer. She pulls the plug out the tub and the rest of the water goes down the drain she close the door and heads to sleep for the night. The next morring she awakes going to make breakfast she change her clothes and took a list of the food items she would need to get eggs bread and potaoes it said. She walked out of her home and walked to the front of her town where vendors and resturants stood . She headed to one call the Sparrow and knocked on the back door . A boy with shaved blonde hair came out "Ah Siana what ingredients do you need he ask.She gives the list to him and he reads it. "I need all of this Wenzel "she spoke. Wenzel nodded and gave the stuff to her "Just make sure to save me a plate" He spoke. She lighty chuckle "Dont you work and live in an tarven" . "Yeah" He spoke "But your cooking taste so much better than my familys and myselfs" . Sianna Lighty chuckles "I'll see if I'll have any later". She takes the food and heads back home. As she gets back she starts cooking and looks for herbs and spices in the cupboards and finds some she grabs it and looks at it she sigh "its basically empty I have to get more later" she then goes upstairs to her father room to check his wardrobe I'm sure we still have money for spices" she thinks. She finds the jar and sees it empty "Forageing it is " After she heads back down and cooks a farmers breakfeast ,about half an hour later she finished and she hears her father get up and head down the stairs. "Oh papa your awake I wasnt expecting you to be up atleast not for another 10 minutes" Siana Spoke. "I Made breakfeast" she spoke . She places the food on the table and served it to her father. "Papa" she spoke. "Yes Siana" her father spoke. "Ill have to go to the forest to get some spices" she speaks . "Why do you need to go to the forest for some I have money for it" her father responded. "Sadly .... no I had checked were out of money for spices, and you only get paid in two days going out to the forest seems the most logical plus you can trust me out there I've been in the forest and come out alive and unscathed before." Siana spoke, Her father sigh "Very well but when you do go out be safe.please" he says. " I will papa" Siann spoke . About 5 hours had passed And Sianna grabbed the items she needed to head to the forrest gloves a basket and some boots ,and a list of the spices and herbs she had wrote down . She then heading to the forrest. As soon as she got into the forrest she took her list out. "OK Lets see what herbs are aroud here" she walked around and found one herbs she putss her gloves on and started to pick it putting in her baskest. She would repeat this process a couple of time but something felt off she felt like someone was watching her or it could be her imaganttion she thought so she continue . Meanwhile a bear was following her a HUnGRY bear. The bear was staying quiet walking up to her more and more closer to her until it was five feet infront of her . "Hmm "she humm feeling the presence again she turned her head and saw the bear her eyes widen and she scream AAAAAHHHH. She then started running from it out of fear but to her luck she forgot one thing about bears" don't run from them there faster then they look". The bear chased her and eventually caught up to her and took a swing at her leg giving her a big cut that started leaking blood out her leg Siana kept running as far as her adrenaline would take her till she felt herself loseing conscious. In the last moments she had conscious she saw a figure with long ears and long luscious dirty blonde hair fight the bear after he came to her to see if she was ok . "Pretty" she said right before she passed out .
