Life never gets better as I grow up, it only gets harder and harder to live it. You can call me a pessimist anytime you want. But its just how hard it is, surrendering my life in exchange for my siblings is the only thing that can save our family from the misery my father started. I couldn't live my days knowing that I let my siblings get in danger when I could have done something to save theirs.
The kingdom of Etlatia was destroyed when Ioqine the leader of the rebels overthrow the monarchy and its army, they broadcasted how they tortured and toyed with the royal's bodies as if it was nothing.
The whole country trembled in fear, provoking chaos in cities that I've never thought of.
It was like an epidemic that corrupted the whole nation. The people in charge couldn't do anything against the rebels. Slowly the cities were ruled by 5 generals. The strongest of five chose the northwest side of Etlatia, Kuvraz, where the most wealthy people live, full of extravagant things that commoners couldn't afford.
The 2nd and 3rd general chose the southeast side of the kingdom and one of the largest, Hrazik, where the magic originated and holds the best sorcerers in the whole enchanted world.
The 4th general chose the sky which was then controlled by Ilia, the mother of all angels. Of course the 4th general will choose that part, its full of the beautiful and gorgeous angel. There aren't any male angels that ever existed, never. Some people say angels were cursed, because of their sins before they've become angels.
And the last of the generals, Alem the human. She took down the whole army of the monarch down on her own. She must be really skilled since no such normal human could do such a thing. It was awesome but terrifying at the same time. She chose the part where most of the four generals avoided so much, Groerd, the city of mixed raced prisoners where they multiply their population every year.
The population of Groerd pass the limits and needed some of its people to be assassinated to regulate the birth and death rate. The people rallied all over the streets but Alem ignored her people's cries so one person of the crowd decided to start a rebellion, Nereik Dezcheln.
The rebellion against one of the strongest general who rebels against the monarch is useless, the leader of the rebels was punished to death and his family was named to be taken as slaves for Alem.
"Dezcheln, I'll give you two options. Give your siblings as the sacrifice or your self as Alem slave. Pick" Ordered one of Alem's guard as he taps his wristwatch telling me I don't have more time to think. I heaved a deep sigh as I think about the consequences.
As the older daughter of Dezcheln family, I was taught to think about the other first before me. But when I look at father's life and all I can think about is what if my fate turned out like his, can my siblings live on without Alem going after them?
" If you can't decide then we can decapitate you head to speed up the process," said the other guard to my left.
I immediately turned my gaze to the 2nd guard and met his sharp blue-green eyes full of mischief. I shooked my head and lifted both of my hand in front of me, wrist to wrist indicating that I, Amaya will surrender myself to Alem for my siblings' freedom.
They put on the cuffs on my wrist and pushed me inside the black big van, I was about to ask the guards about something when I felt a hit on my back neck, my vision darkened as I succumbed to darkness.
Oh, Freedom
