At 5 i got enrolled in school, and i was very different to all the kids there, they seemed so braindead and only wanted to make a mess of things, i wanted to explore. I learned to read at 7 which , unbelievably, was early in the kingdom.Ever since then I've read whenever a book was in sight.When i got to the age of ten, i became very curious indeed to why my father would leave me, but i forgave him because i knew he loved me, even if he never got to know me.By 12 i was so stressed with school that i didn't have many friends, just a few classmates.At 16 i asked almost everyone if they knew anything about my family, where did they come from? Were they brought up in the kingdom or elsewhere? Do i have siblings? But my answer would almost always be you'll find out soon or i don't know. At 18 i got involved in inventing, i even built a mini railway through my tent, with a cart to ride in. Then, when one of the chefs told me about desert demons, i immediately began working on reflector boots. Now, here i am, a 20 year old alone in a desert.
I spotted a small, moving figure, it appeared to be rolling in the sand, as i peered closer, weary of the snake like beasts, i noticed it was a frog, splashing around in a small puddle of water.I looked over the water, and saw my sweaty visage staring back, i realized my hair was standing on end, how long had i been walking? I wondered.It didn't seem that long, but i took a few sips of water and washed the sand out from my ears and around my face. I took off my clothes and wrapped my thin jacket around my body, and the rest of my clothes i put on the sand, and used them as a sheet to lay on.
I woke up with an incredibly dry mouth, but the puddle of water was scarcely there any more, with its remains i washed out my mouth and proceed on my journey.Soon after, i realized i had no plan, no way of finding the king, but to actually find a human, i would be happy enough.I started seeing giant butterflies and strange structures, but i knew i was hallucinating, so i just ignored it.I then started to get headaches, and my eyes felt like they were popping out of my head.I saw an extremely tall tower and i blatantly walked past it, assuming it was just another hallucination.The last thing i saw was the dark cloud hovering above the kingdom which was now miles away.
