        Today Alexander and I were going to the market with our father, Philip. This is one of the rare day's I get to go out of the palace walls and explore the outside world of the peasants. My father was going to the market to see about a horse to buy for himself since his other horse died due to of old age. As, I explored the market with my brother I noticed all the merchandise that I wanted but I had no money but Alexander did. "Alexander, can you please come over here and buy me this pretty jewel?" I asked carefully trying not to sound like a spoiled child. My brother looked over at me and smiled his famous smile and I instantly knew that he would do anything for me no matter what it was. "Of, course my little sun," my brother had always called me that since he says my hair reminds him of the sun when he looks up at it. I smiled back at him. He paid for the jewel that turned out to be a ruby from Persia. I instantly became interested when the merchant mentioned the name Persia. 

        "Alexander, where is the country Persia?" I asked him. My brother got a look of as if I was the most craziest person in Macedona. "Well, Olivia Persia is a country located in the other side of the country some say it is the most hardest place to reach. But, why do you ask my little sun?" my brother asked. I knew Alexander would eventually ask why I was curious about Persia. "Well, Alexander the merchant said that this ruby is from Persia, and I have read about Persia. It just seems like a very beautiful place to be, and  I want to visit possibly live there one day," I said with great enthusiasm. "Olivia, then I promise as heir of Macedona and as your brother that I will travel all over the world to get you every single piece of jewel that you want. Every piece of land you want, and every temple will built in both my name and your name. As my sister, you shall get what ever you want. Since, you are father's most prized possession I know he would want me to give you whatever you wanted. Till this day forward, I Alexander of Macedona, promise that I will give you whatever want and keep this promise till the day I die and even in the after life I will do whatever you want," he vowed very valiantly, like a true future King (?) and Heir (?) of Macedona.

        I knew that that day forward that Alexander and I would be two people of an unstoppable force. A bond formed that day stronger than any other bond than any of the Gods or Goddess' have ever seen. They knew that without one or the other either would perish. So, they always kept us together, forming the alliance that was to be go down in history forever. That nobody would ever forget the story of Alexander the Great and Olivia the Destroyer.
