The dark king

The beginning

" Anna "

A gentle woman voice sounded out and a woman come out from small house that's near me. she called to me with a basket in hand and walk towards me

" what is it, mom? "

I answered her call while chopping the woods. My axe swung down and split the wood in two, with sweats all over my face and neck, I throw my axe to the ground and run towards my mom with smiles on my face

" lunch time? "

I ask my mom with excitement and mom only give a wry smile seeing my behavior

" yep, here your food you greedy girl "

I only giggling and spread both my hands to my mom and she gave me a bread and small cheese to me

" let's seat in the usual place and eat our lunch "

My mom pointed a big tree and i hurriedly nodded and walk to the tree while munching the bread

" haha... Your appetite is as big as ever Anna "

My mom make a little laugh when she look at me. I just shrugged my shoulder and still focused on eating my food

We eat in silence while chilling below the tree and seeing scenery surrounding us

" oh... Good afternoon miss Clara"

A wooden carriage carrying wheats and a middle aged man riding it in the road that quite far from us waving his right hand and shouted to us

My mom smiling looking the man and replied the greeting

" good afternoon too- "

Before mom finish her words, I cut it with my voice

" hey! Where's my good afternoon, uncle Braun! "

I shout at the man while crossing the hands and look sideway, giving a pouting face

" gahaha good afternoon to you too Anna "

The middle aged man laughed at my actions, and somehow I become more annoyed

" Anna! That's rude! "

Mom scold me while showing an angry face

" but mom..."

" no but! Don't do it again! I'm sorry for Anna behavior mister Braun "

" haha it's okay miss Clara "

Uncle Braun waving his right hand that making a it's OK gesture while laughing

" Anna is 8 years old right now right? "

" yes, she will be 9 this year "

My mom smiling while looking at me that still wear a pouting face

" ooh time sure is fast, I remember before that you still at this height "

He make a height measure gesture in front of his belly

" that's four years ago! "

My face become hot from his words, I protested and give him my angry face to pass ' it's in the past! ' message to him. He suddenly burst into a laugh again and now my mom join him, giggling while covering her mouth

" hahaha okay okay little Missie Anna, I have to go. Delivering this wheat to the city. See ya, both of you "

He lash his horse with reign to continue walk again
