Before we begin with the story let me introduce myself and give you some back story. When I was born 19 years ago my parents named me Eliza Stephens, but my friends just call me Lizzy instead. I live in a small village on the coast miles away from the nearest town and castle. My parents had a son before me, O'Ryan, and decided to give him the right to choose and court who he wishes. My brother left not to long ago to fight for the king with about 7 other young men,including all the brothers of my friends. I have 3 really close friends named Delilah Williamson, Bethany Richardson, and Alisha Henders, and we all happen to be the same age. Delilah has two older sisters, Henrietta and Gladice, and two younger brothers, Willard and Bartholomew. Bethany has an older brother, Josiah, and a younger sister, Olivia.  And Alisha has an older brother, Jerahmiah. My friends and I are all promised to be married when we turn 21. My parents promised me to marry a man who is five years older than I am. His name is William and he is the oldest twin to the butcher and his wife. William's twin, Stanley, is set to marry Delilah. Bethany is set to marry a fisherman's son, Randell, who is 7 years older. And Alisha is set to marry the son of the inn keep, Andrew, also 7 years older.

Now shall we begin.
