I sat next to a creek, the sun was setting. Its fire-y rays reminded me of memories that I wish was just paranoia. I lit a fire and set up a camp. It was mostly enclosed by a hill that formed a barrier almost around me camp. I set my head down on my pilllow. All I had with me was a sleeping bag, an apple, a pillow, and a water bottle. As my eyes closed I saw the sun set. Start song

Dream Begin~ I sat in my family-friend, Sara the bakers, house. She rose her glass. "To a good year" she toasted. We all clinked glasses. Then a deafing scream came from outside. The hill our house was on was ablaze. The trees were burning. The villagers screams as more shadowy figures came out of our nether portal. I held my fathers hand. "Go! Popcorn! Run!" He instucts over the noise, he handed me a backpack. "Look for my brother, he's a hopeless romantic. His name is brendan. He's my twin! Now run!" I looked around as the whole word seems to stop and a single arrow shoots through my fathers heart. I scream, but my insticts kick in and I run. I run though the savanna I had once played on as a toddler. I ran until I saw a forest. I hid behind a tree, the adreniline stopping. I slowed down. Looking back, I see fire burning the trees. I see blood every where. Blood in the breeze, the fire inside the mountain. The fires lit up the night like the blazing sun. A blazing sun of horror, of death. I forced myself to look away. Then I continued on my path. Ignoring the screams of my friends as I best I could. I wished I didn't have such a horrid life. The flames burned on and on, the screams carried for miles. I didn't stop until- ~Dream Over

I awoke to a cold metal on my throat. My eyes snapped open. A guard with blue hair and blue eyes stood above me. A katana at my thoat. "Who are you?" He asked. I went pale, "Are you one of them?" I asked back. "Hey I asked the questions here! Answer me" he snapped. "O-Okay... I'm Popcorn. Call me PC. I'm looking for my Uncle Brendan.... or my mom, if she's alive." I honestly answered. "Don't lie!" He said. "Your one of them! Aren't you?" I said, his expression was shadowy. "Who's them?" He asked. "One of those evil shadowy people who live in the nether!" I stated. His eyes narrowed "A shadow knight?" I looked at his eyes. "Yes, if that's what they call themselves. Umm... can you take your katanas away?" I asked. He sheathed his katanas. I stood up. "I'm gonna take you to the village.." he agreed to himself. Then I grabbed my sleeping bag and pillow and he led me to a big village gate.

As they openned, I saw 2 people. I saw my mom, Queen Aphmau, and my Uncle Brendan. I burst into tears, not sure who to run to first. I choice to run to mom. "Is that really you?" I said calming down. She looked bewildered. "I'm Lord Aphmau, if that's what you mean." She said. I frowned. "Do you remember us?" I asked. She looked at me. "Us?" She said. I blushed "Your husband, me; your daughter, your best friend, your wyvren, your pegasus, your fairy horse, you animals, your village..." I listed. "Husband?! Daughter?!" She gasped. "Yeah, your husband, Roy. And me your guys daughter!" I said she jsut looked at me. "You led a monarchy, the Aphrica monarchy!" I said. "I led a monarchy?" She asked. She clearly didn't remember. I frowned.

Then leaving her to think, I went over to Uncle Brendan. "Uncle, Uncle!" I chirped. He smiled. "Where's Roy? Wait, you've grown so much!" He ruffled my hair. I laughed. "Lord Aphmau!" He called mom. She walked over. "This is my niece, Popcorn!" He introduced us. "Wait! If I'm her mother, and your her uncle than we're brother and sister in laws!" She gagged. I laughed.

Then a light brown haired man walked up with a man who wore a full helm. "Hello! I'm Popcorn!" I introduced myself. "Popcorn?" The helmet head said. "Well, my mom, Queen Aphmau of Aphrica, didn't have time to think of an elegant or graceful name so she called me the first thing that came to her head." I explained. "Queen Aphmau?" The light brown haired guy said. I nodded. The helmet head began to say "Lady Aphmau, can we have a wor-" but I interupted. "So she's a Lady now? Cool!" I smiled. Mom walked up, "I've got no idea what's going on... Popcorn, do you mind explaining?" She requested. "Sure!" I giddily said skipping behind mom, the helmet head, and the light brown haired guy.
