STORM- (Daniel Anderson; 21 y.o.)
STORM- (Daniel Anderson; 21 y.o.)
The Plague ruined our life. All I see is families dying, bodies lying lifeless on the ground... I can't stand the helpless screams of all of the sick people. I can't stand the fact that the Nobles and Royal families are safe in their palaces sleeping on pillows full of coins and eating enough food to feed 20 families only in one day... The life of a son of a farmer is harsh, let alone the Plague is ravaging the lands. My dad was devastated after the death of my mother... He wasn't in the mood for farming or even getting food for us... All he did was drink and gamble. But I understand that this is making his pain go away. One day, I went out to get as much food as I could for our survival, the situation was serious. Because I was penniless I decided to steal food. As I was putting the last piece of meat, a luxury for that time, an old hag caught me during the act and cursed me. At first, I didn't believe in those stories and myths, I ignored her and went home. And that has been my daily routine. But the old hag wasn't there anymore.

One time I got home, my dad brought his whole group of drunk friends to our house, and for what? Only to get drunker and gamble all night. I was mad. I dragged my father into the other room and asked him: "What do you think you are doing with your drunk friends here? Don't you think you should farm and get food for us too?". He only coughed like the drunk man he was and laughed at me. "Dad, just get them out of our house and go to get some rest, tomorrow we are going to farm together". He shouted: "NO," I said: "I'm sorry, what?" The rage was filling me, what has become of my once hardworking and loving father... I couldn't tolerate this, I just wanted to push him. I barely touched him and he grabbed my neck and arms and I almost suffocated. My arms broke free from him and I have unleashed several lightning bolts out of my hands and struck my dad's chest. He fell to the ground, electrocuted... The other men rushed to leave the house fearing I'd do the same to them. "Dad?" I shook him, I screamed... All in vain, I killed him... I didn't mean to...

I ran outside and burst into tears... As I fell on my knees I punched the ground as hard as I could. Several days passed since I started sleeping on the streets and one day, I witnessed a girl getting robbed by local bandits. I realized I had to kill them, I had to save the girl's life. I saved her life, yet I didn't even have the time and courage to even look her in the eyes. I ran away, I wanted to flee the chaos of Birmingham and live a new life. As I went to sleep in the woods, while I was closing my eyes, suddenly, I saw a flash of light right in front of my eyes...

Chapter 2
Andrax
As one of the next in line for the throne l was scared, scared of my dad and what he would do to me if I didn't listen to him. The truth is that I hate my dad. I hate his ethics. He is an idiot that doesn't deserve the power of being the king. The Plague has been killing millions, but he only cares about himself and that he gets more and more gold coins. I've seen what he has done to our people. But I am powerless against him. I once tried to argue with him, but he screamed at me saying, ''Do you really want to help the people below us!? The poor people!? Who knew my own son would be so foolish.'' But now I was ready. I was ready to kill him, to finally make life better for the poor people. I have been training with my sword and now I was ready to kill the man that I call my father. Then I shall be king. King Andrax the first.
