"HEY GET BACK HERE YOU THIEF"I was quickly running away with the money I had just stole from a shopkeeper to get myself a new knife since my other one broke due to a shieldbreaker.A shieldbreaker is a animal that is protected by really hard shells that have really hard points that stick out of it's side and back.These points can easily break a shield once it comes into contact with a shield or weapon.Thats why it's called a shieldbreaker.The only way to kill the shieldbreaker is if it's stuck upside down were you can easily get to the belly where there is no shell or it gets stuck and it's head is reachable.

I quickly run down a alley that leads to a darker part of the city.Once I'm out of the alley I head to the part of the city where I need to get my new knife.I wanted to get out of this part of the city right away but I knew I couldn't.People here are poor, there all skinny, women have children to care for but can't, the government won't do anything to help these people, and worst of all, people here are great here if you know them but sometimes the government finds fun in killing these people.I can't ignore these people but I have to since I can't help everyone if I'm poor myself.

    When I was headed to the part of the city I needed to be in, adults came up to me and told me to thank my dad when I went to his grave again.I told them I would like I do with every town or city part like this but I never did go to my dad's grave.The reason being because I never have been to my dad's grave.I don't even know where it is or even if there is a grave for him somewhere.The graves I have been to, the keepers said they didn't know have anyone by my father's name or my mother's name.

I got one last look at this place and I headed back into the city were people could afford things were.When I was there I quickly headed to the blacksmith a block away.On my way people were crowded around a poster.I squeezed through the crowd and saw that  the poster was a wanted poster.The wanted poster of a abandoned kid who was thought of doing something bad like stealing jewels.What's worst is that only the government know's that's it's just a abandoned boy but the public believes whatever the government says.Basically the government runs the whole country and no one questions how the government runs this country.The only way I knew it was a abandoned kid because I met him once when I was traveling.

That one time was the only time I ran into a town that disliked me because of my father.My father to people who are poor and have nothing was a legend, a great person, a hero in their minds.At first no town or people that lived in a bad part of a city or town believed what one town said till he went to their town.The last town my father had yet to visit was the town where I met the boy on the wanted poster.Sadly that town never was visited by my father.So when I went there people kicked me out immediately since they knew I was the "heroes" but to them that hero never came.I was walking away from the town planning to skip it and go to the next town when the boy on the wanted poster had stopped me and told me why they kicked me out.We talked for a bit till the sun started going.I had quickly showed him a few things and said goodbye to the boy and I kept moving on to my next destination.

I sneaked out of the crowd around the wanted poster and continued on my way to the blacksmith.On my way there I saw a lot of booths set up for the week, which is unusual for a city to have lots of booths set up for a week.Soon I saw the blacksmith's shop.I entered the shop and went to the counter and ringed the bell.Right away I heard a girl's voice say coming.When she walked out she went up to the counter on the other side and asked me what I would like."A knife that is worth 50 pounds at most" I had responded.She smiled and said "Ok i'll go grab the knife I think you would like".The lady went to the back and brought out a really nice looking knife."50 pounds is the exact total".I smiled and said alright I'll take it.I handed her the money and put the knife in my bag and headed out of the shop.

     Once I was out of the shop I headed for the exit of the city.While I was walking around, I looked around at all booths trying to figure out what's going on.When I got to the city gates I still didn't know why all these booths were here all gathered together like some great gathering that only happens every century.

    I bowed my head to the guards  and exited the city.When I looked around I saw a forest that might be a good spot to stop for the night and sleep.I started on my way to the forest hoping I would find a good spot to sleep for the night and not near any shieldbreaker's.
