The River Beyond

Chapter One : The Preface

An introduction, I've learned, is for the fallen, for the weak and battered souls brought forth in their journey in memorial. I am of no such solitude, isolation, nor jarring insignificance. My name is Casey Warring, daughter of Sylvan Warring and Erik Warring, Province Strongholds. Growing up in the Province, I learned from a young age the importance of staying true to myself. Hoping, praying to those more Divine than I, and letting my fears wash away with the wind. 

Confidence, a key factor in the land of the Province, made for a defining moment in my life. The younger us children in the land could be labeled in age, the more harsh life could become in our tarnished years of growth. Gaining this understanding of the topical application of confidence on one's soul, would set us on a path of righteousness later in life.

The adults believed this notion too, as prevalent to them as to cast forbiddance in stepping foot beyond the land's walls and outer rims, in order to stay within the comfort of our sacred home. It is now years later from my childhood, layered in order to show my ability to grow as I once dreamed of doing long ago, once hoping to journey to the River Beyond, to peace.
