They had it all. Then came in the enemies, wanting to steal the land and claim it as their own, but that wasn't the only thing they wanted. They wanted control, but so did the Meskins over their land. So they fought. Two different worlds collide against each other, wanting to take over. But who would prevail. Read to find out.

And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on.
