Hello there. My name is Frank. Today is my 8 day old birthday. I am a minion from the colony called Blue. Yes it is a colour and yes, it is the only colour we wear. We minions are born with a set of skills. Either we know how to handle machinery, magic or a weapon. I am one who knows the magic skills. We are taught at a very young age how to specialize these skills.
Sadly, there is a war going on between all of Valoran. We minions live underground, by a bright shining stone called the Nexus. The Nexus sends us into war to fight against the other colony called Purple and the set of Valoran citizens who also specialize in skills. They are called Champions.
A lot of my friends are sent into war by their 4 day old Birthday, but I was lucky. I was able to get a 2 day maternity leave! My wife, Helena, had a baby! We are very proud parents of this girl I named, Samantha! I am so glad she is a girl, because only the men are drafted into war. Therefore, if we win the fight, she will live a long and happy life.
They finally trained me up and after 2 more days of doing that, I will be sent away. Today is the day I am going. On my birthday. I am feeling very scared but excited. My wife and child are going to be proud of me fighting and I am willing to do anything to save them. Even if I die a painful death, they will honour me and remember me being a grand hero. I can imagine little Sammy going to school and telling the class "My father died in the war and saved us all from dying in the Minion War"! All the other children would go "Oooh" and "Ahhh". I enjoy imagining this because chances are I will die. I am an elder afterall.
