firststory freedom hope kingdom soldiers

Once upon a time, there was such things as happy endings. But not anymore. When they invaded, our village lost our freedom and our hope, like all the other villages they had attacked. 

And then the sickness came. Most the women did not survive, excluding the elders and half the village's children too. The men were put to work by our captors, farming, building, whatever they were told, and the children; they were all lost without their mothers.
