Broken

*So this is chapter is to give my point of view and what not of what I think the start of the female Cousland's life is like before you start the game, hence the name of the chapter.

Hope you enjoy.

"Come here Fergus and meet your little sister."

Bryce Cousland the Teryn of Highever took the small hand of his little boy, who was fidgeting with excitement over seeing his new sister.

"Now, remember what I told you about girls and little sisters?" Bryce asked Fergus while leading him down the stone corridor to the room he shared with his wife Eleanor.

"Of course father." Fergus answered his father with a nod.

"And what was that?"

"A girl is a beautiful creature created by the maker for men to love and protect; and little sisters are given to boys so they may take such care of them until they marry. Even then the brother's job is still to be carried out until the last of his days. For girls and little sisters are treasured jewels."

Fergus looked up at his father with a satisfied grin to which Bryce returned along with a reply as they reached the room.

"That's right my boy, always remember that. Now you have to be calm as not to scare your sister or startle your mother. Can you do that?"

"Yes father."

"Alright then let us go in the room together."

The Teryn of Highever opened the oak door slowly revealing the room to the little boy. In the very center of the room a large bed sat on an equally large red elaborately woven rug. The bed was made from rose wood and it adorned thick blankets of gold color. Amongst the sheets sat an exhausted Teryna of Highever holding a quiet bundle of tan blankets.

Eleanor lifted her head with a tired smile looked at her son and husband, and with a wave of her hand beckoned them over.

Fergus kept his excitement in check and did his best to stay calm as his father instructed. When he reached the bed he looked at his mother who moved the blankets revealing the sleeping new born girl.

Looking at his little sister Fergus truly understood the words his taught him and he knew his world was changed forever.
