Article 2By: Ben Mordeno
I was a knight serving for my king. My job is to protect him from any danger, protect my castle and be victorious in any war are kingdom gets involved in. Meaning anyone who put their hands on him or the walls built to protect all of us, I will have no choice but to attack and kill them. I’ve been doing this for a long time now, and these times are very hard. Winter just among us, and its been tough for us soldiers. The king just raged yet another war on our enemies, we’ve barely survived the war before. We’ve lost men down the path but somehow we managed to pull through. But I know that these walls won’t hold up any longer. Sooner or later they’ll soon break down and collapse right above our heads and our king will soon know that he’s not immortal anymore. That there is death to everyone. He never believed in it, even though he’s seen hundreds of his soldiers die. He’s too stubborn to believe that there is an end to him. Anyways us soldiers have it hard, we’ve been living down the armory ever since the last attack on us. With no heat, clean water, food and other supplies we’re all goners. Many are getting sick and some have already died. And yet the king has done nothing but hid up in his castle. I know he’s scared and worried but I still haven’t lost faith in us. Maybe just maybe we can pull through another year and hopefully win the war. A knights life isn’t easy at all. We go through the hardest training ever, sometimes we don’t even learn we just suffer from the cruel things we go through and face. I knew this job wasn’t going to be easy, but as long as our king paid us well. That’s all i cared about. I have a family that lived in the outer part of the castle walls. And i’ve tried to provide for my children. And a sick wife, i’ve been trying to keep them together, tell them to stay strong. But i don't know how long till the truth catches up to them. I’m just hoping they hang in there. Till I find a better home for them. 3 months pass now and the weather has changed. It is at its deadliest peak. With us close to the mountains the colder the winter gets. Snow covers the whole Castle and village. This is a very hard part of the year. And war is still raging on, our king hasn’t done anything but stay up in his castle. No one has seen him for awhile now and yet I don’t really care. Our soldiers just do the same routine everyday and keep watch for any intruders, enemies that might come and take down the walls and kill every person living in our village. I hope and pray everyday that it doesn’t happen, that my family will be safe and that this harsh winter will go by soon. Months and months pass nothing has happened. It was a good sign hearing the birds chirping again. As the snow melts and the Sun covers more of the sky then the clouds. I'm glad to live yet another day. |
CrusadesBy: Ali Raza
It is the year 2013 and King Henry of dressville had ordered that all the men to come to the castle and begin preparation for the crusades. They needed more soldiers because they were dying quickly.The order came from the king of the Dressville, king Henry. He has ordered the men to come to the castle to prepare for the crusades because the Christians needed more soldiers to capture the holy land of Jerusalem. They wanted that land because in that city of Jerusalem there was a church called Sepulchre which reminded the tomb of Christ’s burial. I asked one of the families and they had said “ We are very scared that our father would not come back” The reason for this order was because they need more soldiers to fight. The Christians are losing men quickly so they sent a messenger to tell king for reinforcement. when the messenger came the king was relaxing on his trohn. I had asked another family and they said “ we are very sad that our father is leaving if there was any way to stop him but i can't “ said the wife. This is happening in Europe, Dressville in the center of town. Men are getting prepared as we speak, they are practicing in combats with their swords and arrows. The messenger came at 6:00am in the morning and the order came from the king at 10:00am today. |

King James III and Queen Angelica will dance the night away with you at the grand ball located at the castle of Gardenia. Everyone has to dress in their finest clothing to be able to attend. The ball will start at 8 o’clock sharp. Be sure to be washed and clean. “I’m so excited to finally have a night with my husband.” says queen Angelica. This is the only night that she can ever be with her husband and not have to be guarded by his knights. She is finally able to be left unattended. “This is my first ball.” says a local young girl on Mayview street. The people will only have limited amounts of drinks and food because the king and queen only allow so much. And most people are not even aloud to eat the king and queens food, so this is a very special occasion. |

But sources say she never even loved Sir Derek Jones “I never ever saw Lady Emerald with Sir Derek Jones” says Emeralds head maid “she only had eyes for Reynald’ But no matter we still do not know why she acted like this toward Derek. This all happened during the round table meeting where it was said that they were discussing about very important stuff for the next attack on King George and his knights. This is why they weren't so noticed by Derek Jones appearance. It was said that the affair took place in the south hall of the castle in lady emerald and king Reynalds bedroom. Reynald as blocked off that side of the castle and is planning to burn his former room. No one is allowed now to take tours of the castle,but anyhow no one can imagine all the anger and frustration going on in King Reynalds head in these days. |
