"So what do you think the Queen does with the women she takes ?" Renee asks Luna as they walk down the main dirt path of their village. "I heard she takes their youth, but that's a tall tale" Luna says as they trade the preserves for a bundle of cloth to give to the seamstress to make them clothes and another for some bread.

That's how almost everything works around there. You can trade for certain things, but on most occasions you pay for what you want. An early curfew was set every time there was a warning of The Grabbings. Many husbands try and hide their wives and daughters, but that was considered an act of treason by the Queen and were executed the next morning.

A lot of night of Grabbing came without warning or announcements. Who knew one of those nights would be that night. Luna is awakened that brisk autumn night suddenly to the sound of screams around town. She jumped out of bed to run to her sister Elizabeth's room before she's grabbed by both of her arms as she watched her baby sister take by one soldier.

Being how young and small she was, she just cried and sobbed like it was the end of her life. Only because it just might be. Luna had already known she had to get her sister back, no matter what it took. Seeing that she promised her. She just had to. Luna woke up the next morning filled with dread and hatred.

Ready to kill anyone and anything that tried to get in her way. Her friends had tried to stop her, they said she'd get herself killed. But like always, she never listened. Since she knew very few people could help here in her small town, she had decided to travel to Ramsey. The land of the warriors, as great and mighty as they sounded, even they bowed down to the Queens.

Luna traveled by boat with the town's fishermen, being that they fished at Ramsey's dock. Upon arrival, she was greeted with curious stares, seeing that she was on a boat with possibly sixty men and was still perfectly intact.

Seeing as that not many men are saints. Stepping off the boat in somewhat tight tunic, leather pants, and knee-high leather boots, Luna walked straight through the crowd of people to the nearest pub knowing what she needed to find would be there.
