Hello. This isn't your average story. This is about a boy named Rem who wanted to make a difference. This is the story of my life.
A/N this is my first first person fanfiction that I am making while I am doing The First Apprentice. Please give reviews and forgive me for capitalization errors, I will probably make lots of mistakes putting 'i' insted of 'I'. Please put into the poll wheather you like The Begining or The First Apprentice story, I dont know if I should do first person or third person. Thx for your help! .
It all started when I was 16, it was the choosing day, the day when the rest of our lives would be decided. You could choose what you wanted to be from a warrior to a messenger to an archerer and to an diplomat. But if the master of the craft wouldnt take you, you would be a farmer for the rest of your life.
I am a curious and small boy, even though I am fifteen I look no older than twelve. I also am known through the town as a trouble maker because I am much to curious to stay out of trouble, but a boy can hope... can't he? Well, I wanted to be a warrior, I wanted the world to accept me, but of course that is not how my story happend.
Baron Allen yelled at me and my wardmates, "Okay all of you orphans, get in a line! Tallest up front, yes Terek that means you, and Rem, your at the back!" We were all getting in line for the choosing day. The day that would change our lives forever.
I had been living in the Ward for fourteen out of my fifteen years of life. I don't realy remember anything other than the ward, but even from living in the Ward for most of my life, I had never really gotten any close friends. I would usually just sit in the showdows of the room and watch the other kids. One day about ten years ago, my ward mate Petricia came and talked to me, we both had a love for nature, so we decided to go and plant a tree outside the ward thinking when we grew up and had kids, they would climb on the tree that we planted. But enough with the past, lets get onto the Choosing.
The Baron called out the door, "All of the craftmasters can come into the room now!"
The chubby cook, Jareld is the first to come in with his face in its usual pinched up position, then next the battlemaster Keren comes in, he completely looks over me and instead looks at Terek is very big and muscluar, Keren has seemed to take a liking into him.
Baron Allen then yells at Terek, "Hurry up boy! State your name and who you want to be apprenticed to, I don't have all day you know!"
Terek blushed a little and says, "My name is Terek Fellan sir, and I'd like to be apprenticed to Battlemaster Sir Keren."
The battle master looks over Terek one more time and says, "I accept."
Terek smiles and heads over to Keren. The other two kids, Annabeth and Karen, both choose to go to the diplomatic servises and are gracefully accepted by the Head of the Diplomatic Service.
Finally it was my turn, I nerviously walked up and said, "I am Rem Denally and I would like to be apprenticed to the Battlemaster Keren."
The battlemaster doesn't as much look my way when he says, "Declined."
I had dobts, but hearing it was so different to what i had imagined. I could barely cope with it. Then the Baron tells the rest of the craftmasters, "Is there anyone who would like to have Rem as their apprentice?" No craftmaster accepts the request. Then the Baron went on to say, "Well, then I guess tomarrow Rem, you will report to the farms."
This has all gotten to much. As soon as we were released i fled out the door and finally when i left the large brick building i ran. The city was surrounded by a dence forest, that no one would enter. People feard to get lost in it and no one would take the risk to go and found a lousy orphan farmer boy who had no friends. So i ran knowing no one would come after me or notice my absence, and if they did they would be happy. It was one less mouth to feed. So i ran, ran away from my useless life, ran into the woods to become something more, i ran away from destiny to find my own future.
I brought with me into the forest an axe, string, clothes, and some money i had saved up. The first thing i did was make a few traps to catch animals in. Then I went and made a temporary shelter, I had no plans to return to my old life, so i decided for the next month to make a wood cabin for shelter. This was my determination for I would become something more than i ever could in the town, i would become strong and have the battle master regret declining me in this forest, in my forest!
The next day i went to check on my five traps i had set up. None of them had sprang. When i was going to the fifth trap i noticed a deer eating the food in the trap, without the trap springing. I underestemated the animals of the forest. So i relized traps wouldent work so i went after the deer with my knife,but it was fast so i couldnt get it. I was desperet so i threw my knife after the deer. I missed, but i relized it would be easier to catch animals if i could become precise with throwing my knife. I wondered about this while i cut down some trees to make space for a log cabin, and kept the trees to make the cabin with. As i pondered about the throwing knifes, i decided to practice throwing my knifes and untill i could successfully catch an animal, i would have to live on plants. It was a good thing I read alot of nature books in the ward. The knoladge will be very helpful for me surviving in this untamable wilderness.
