Decisions

Part 1

No matter where I went, I kept on getting told to find a job. Pretty much everyone one I was in regular contact with. Like my brother.

"Come on Kevin, you have to become a pirate. Like Me. It's awesome, and you can fend for yourself. Instead of relying on our mother for food. Its so embarrassing to have you as a brother!"

Or like my mom.

"Come on Kevin, you have to become like your brother Jack. He can pay for his own meals without emptying his pockets. You should be just like him!"

The local shopkeeper.

"Hey, uh Kevin. I know we're not the best of friends, but can you take this knife and try stabbing stuff? Then can you go to Victoria and talk to this dude named Ryden? He's in Kerning. He'll teach you everything you need to know."

There's also my cousin.

"Hey little dude! You should come with me to Victoria sometime. I can show you round with my taxi discount cause I work for Cygnus. Maybe you should work for her too. The pay isn't that great, but you can ask Neinhart for a raise. You won't lose your job by asking that. More like probably won't. Really more like maybe won't. Actually you'll lose you're job for asking that. Anyway, you in?"

My grandfather.

"You! Little kid! Grow up strong, eat your veggies, and become one of those people that swings a sword at food! I heard that they can cut vegetables up for people like me! They must gain 5 million a year from doing that!"

My two best friends as well.

"Hey Kevin! Become an archer! It's awesome! You can shoot stuff with a bow, without any risk of being hit!"

"No shut it Rachel, warriors are what its all about! You rush into the fray, with nothing more than your razor strong muscles and your razor sharp weapon."

"Nathan, you idiot! When will you ever learn that ARCHERS ARE BETTER THAN WARRIORS!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Ugh, this is why you annoy me SO MUCH!"

"You didn't say 'are too'! That means I win! HA!"

Which would normally end up a little like this.

"Stop shooting me! I have enough scars already!"

"Shut up Nathan. I think you should concentrate more on running than talking."

Eventually, Rachel would tire of shooting and simply chase him down. And once again, beat him up. With an arrow.

I think you're beginning to get the point. I've spent my whole life being told what to do. What to become. But no one's asked me what I want to be, what I want. About my opinion. I've never had the best reflexes. Or been the strongest kid around. I'm not good with a knife, or good with technology. I don't like the idea of having someone my age be my boss. I thought that there was nothing I could do. Until he came.

I heard that he was once a humble farmer. A lowly farm boy, who would probably fix fences or chase pigs. That he was a push-over, and his brother told him what to do. Now he was a hero. His name… was Evan.
