Tough Life

Greek,Outside City of Corthieo July 2,1657
Cortheio was a beautiful city with a thriving culture and community.But when it comes to the life around here,you would have wished to go to a another town.When we first came they directed us like cows in a field,they took us to a station to where they told us our jobs and where we would live.We lived in a small,comfortable two story house with a kitchen,dining area and two bedroom.Even though wars have been going on around us,the military hasn't done anything to protect our beloved city.Our King says,"It a waste of resources and men".Two years ago the Corthieo Republic sighed a peace treaty with the Basentile government.But a new force by the name of  "Terror Rebels",they  have taken over a hundred city's in two weeks.Last week the city had a fireball bombardment and a division of troops come at us but the army dealt with them.

When we first got home,we went to field and gathered the harvest(wheat)and two boys tried to start to set our field on fire,but my dad got his shovel and warned the boys to that he would hit them hard.

When I was 12 years old my father trained me through the"Maze Of Thorns".It was a maze bigger than Mount Olympus with thorns on the top,so no one could escape.There was challenges along the way,you had to fight other"gladiators",do puzzles,go through obstacles then you have Big Bertha.A monster as big as Zeus,teeth as sharp as a mystical werewolf also as fat and ugly like a pig.Everyday my dad(John Mandolin)would teach me moves,ways to avoid obstacles and find ways to kill Big Bertha.Also he told me there was riddles and you need to solve them.He gave me one that he had when he was in the maze.One was,"To get past this you need to reverse it" or something like that.During my last years of training I learned a secret,there are four spots that Big Bertha had and it was her weak points,I didn't tell anyone not even my dad,I kept it for myself and use it against Big Bertha.Sometimes our neighbors would hear us report us we would have to stop training.Then time came when I turned 18,the soldiers would ask if I was 18 and if I was they would take me to the Maze Of Thorns.
