The eyrls

Truly pitiful

A woman loses her husband

sons and uncles, inlaws and friends all massacred in something no one still understood

pitiful people all living their various lives, chattering , all too busy to look up and see the warning signs

a woman loses her husband , her only remaining family, hundreds of soldiers all dead, during one night

Yet no one would confront the royal counsel, no one had the guts, to upset their loving king

Tch, what pitiful people indeed , silently mourning and at the other hand kissing the chief's feet coodling him

No one, is kind to a person without getting something from it

no one.

With a pouty lip, henry lowered hes head to his bent knees and whimpered

sitting at the top of the ocre shop, located near the hill, henry surveyed the land , the land he once loved, the land he now deemed pitiful

it disgusted him now, henry's father was one of the soldiers, his father had reassured him, he would come back early after his shift, and after a long time of begging , his father finally assured him that he would take him to see his mother

A mother he longed for , a mother who abandoned him as a child, or so he was told by his father

he's father had told him, that his mother left a year after he was born , telling him it was a miracle he survived for a child to grow up with no mother's affection, but even after all this he still harboured no hard feeling's towards his mother

And the day he was finally going to see her, he's father disappeared.

Overwhelmed with emotions henry wiped his tears away , determined to get to the root of the mystery

as he made to stand , his eyes caught something which made him furrow his brows and twitch he's eyes

The royal family was going on a stroll with their small daughter,, lucky her she had her parents , her ignorant parents who cared not for the well being of their people

Today, the royal family requested that anyone who their loved one from the guard department was missing should meet him in the town hall,

henry had gone , just to recieve the bogus news that they had being killed by someone unknown beast, WHAT !!,

a lady had suggested they went to the head priest, but the king terse words offered no other room for suggestions, he had told the lady that the priest was blaphemous, and binded by power , that he cast the monster

the people were be only surprised but also down cast as well.

the chief went further to explain and entice them to his words and explanations, but like goats they fed on each word whether a lie or truth , they didnt care as long as their ,oh so kind , loving trusthworthy king said so , they would believe him

They truly were pitiful, the chief had offered help of any kind, to those who were affected by this, henry had already condemned the king in his heart , and already making his mind , he swore he wouldn't take anything from the chief, as far as he was concerned, no kindness would bring his father back to him

Now seeing the king ,with his wife ,and their daughter, walking , chattering and laughing around.

Overwhelmed with anger, henry struck up, picking a stone and aiming it at the chief's daughter, his grip tightning on the rock, with hot stream of tears, flowing down from his eyes to his cheeks

looking at the princess, chattering with her parents, he couldnt hit the chief or the lady, but he can hit the girl, now the king will feel the pain ,he felt when he lost someone close to him

Looking at the little girl filled with nothing but purity and curiousity, he felt his resolve farthering , slowly his grip on the stone loosened till it finally fell to the ground

With a sigh, he muttered to himself, his words too quiet, it truly would be pitiful, to kill this one, an innocent little child

but the coming of this child brought nothing but pain, and suffering , yet joy too in a way

her coming brought the feast and the argument between the priest and the king

it also brought , the big festival ceremony, and also took many soldiers

Henry wouldnt lie, he enjoyed himself during the festival, chuckling , laughing , playing with his friends, and the occasional helping madam agatha

he hadn't even missed his dad. during his tine at the festival. henry placed his palms in his face , covering the tears pouring down, he could have followed him, told him he loved him, he didnt even have the chance to give him his gift

henry blamed himself, if only he had given his father the gift ,or done any one of these things his father would have stayed

It pained him that the only time, he thought of his father was when he got lost played hide and seek with his friends and wandered a little into the forest

when he got lost he was scared, and started thinking of his father and how he would've saved him, after that he remebered nothing else

All he knew now ,was that he missed his father to hell and back, he was sure his father had not yet died, since they had not yet found any of the bodies

Henry had that faith, and that faith was the only thing keeping him going, climbing down from the roof , the king and his lady had long gone by then , he decided to go to madam agatha, to assist her and maybe eat from her

hes stomach grumbling as he ran down to madam agatha's shop

The chief and his family continued , their stroll, till the queen paused and asked the chief a question

who was that boy by the roof?, the ocre farm side

oh , henry was it, he is the child of one of my deceased guards,

oh , the queen remebering something told the king , i saw him by the bushes, but it wasnt too inside, a bit farther from the ceremony

the chief alarmed asked his wife if he mightve seen her, to this she shaked her head, calming his fear.

the princess not understanding what was happening just stretched her hand to her mother, who in turn carried her beloved.

At that moment , even thou he was slightly assured by his wife's words, he couldn't take any chances, this was the first time he didn't trust his wife completely and it annoyed hin.

but still that tugging feeling wouldn't let him be, smiling at his wife and his daughter, he made up his mind to keep a close eye on the boy
