'today is a good day, mom promised to teach me fishing so I woke up early. I went out of my room heading to the kitchen when I heard a man's voice " Dorthea, this is dangerous .we should evacuate the village " mom responded"Fredric, stop panicking and let me think of a solution "

"the kingdom soldiers are coming for us, they are numerous .this was their plan from the start"

"We can't go so far. they'll catch us."

I stood near the door "mom what's the problem. is someone dead again ?"

'many of our people have been killed in the past 5 months '

the man addressed her again" they are coming for us, you're the chief you decide ." mom picked me up and held me then said "call everyone I have made my mind " after that she looked at me and said, "your mom is here for you, I'll protect you ."

"what's wrong?"

"common you'll hear the news with all the village "

we went out of the inn. mom put me down and stood in the middle of the crowd as she said: "everyone! since the start, mages were despised by humans. they saw our gift as a curse, and when we didn't surrender to their twisted desires they tortured and killed us_they still do... . this time their fire is aimed at us"

everyone was panicking and terrified mom's voice rose to the crowd "so if you want to leave your land go .or you can stay and fight for it to the last drop of your blood "

everyone was silent for a moment than one of them shouted"until the end we will defend our land"

suddenly sheers had risen. that was the moment that I was so proud of being a mage .regardless of this reckless action, my people were worth existing.
