Chapter one: /title (possibly: Prologue)
It was just a night like all other, when my mother was bringing me to bed.
'Sleep well my darling, tomorrow will bring a brand new day', she said to me.
I smiled, closed my eyes, and immediately started drifting away
When I was still on some level of consciousness, I heard footsteps coming closer.
I opened my eyes, seeing everything a bit blurry, and I listened to the footsteps.
I heard about 6 pair of boots, and though they didn't make much noise, the footsteps still sounded heavy.
When I was listening to the footsteps, I realized I couldn't stay awake no more, and I drifted back to the world of my own imagination.
When I woke up, I heard screams, the clashing of swords, and the burning sound of fire. I jumped up out of my bed, and ran to the front door. What I saw next, was something I would never forget. In every direction, I saw people from my town fighting against what seemed imperial soldiers. Some houses were set afire, and other ones were already burned down to the ground. I stared into the crowd for a while, and I saw my parents fighting side by side. They were greatly outnumbered, and were losing the fight. I wanted to scream, and call out for help, but I couldn't move, nor talk. All I could think of were my parents. I closed my eyes for a while, and all good memories came back into my mind. I thought of all good things I had done with my parents, and how they loved me as I am, always trying to see through the negative sides of me. When I opened my eyes again, the only thing I saw was dead bodies, ragged clothes, and burned down houses. I scanned the dead bodies, and saw my parents lying in a pool of blood, holding hands. A sudden rage of anger filled my body, and I ran towards my parents. I didn't care about the other dead people, whom I had known since my birth, but my parents…they were dead. Slaughtered in cold blood. I sat down next to them, and I cried. I sat there crying, for what seemed like an hour, as I heard voices coming out of a house.
'There's a live one here!'
'Finish him off!'
Next, I heard a cry, and then there was nothing. Everything went silent. I looked at the house, from which I had just heard the voices from, as I saw 3 soldiers run out of a house, which hadn't been burned down yet , their armour covered in blood. They looked at me, and started running towards me.
