I did not know what to expect when I arrived home the day of President Aronâs announcement. However, not even in my wildest imagination would I have predicted Chasâ reaction. The first thing I saw when I entered our living room was a pile of scrap metal. Having an inventor and scientist as a bot…
 âWe bring you members of the press here today to announce our plans for the recent outbreak of human criminals and changes within our criminal law,â President Aron began.

Ermine finishes her sermon with a final prayer. With all heads bowed, she prayers that the Watcher keeps Archolia and Snordwich safe from evil.

 âExcuse me my friend, I have a few items to sell before days end,â Percival says before walking out to the market.  Percival approaches a potential buyer who sounds very interested in purchasing a pendant.  Percival pulls a pendant out of his pocket. âHow much will you sell it to me for?â The villager asks….
After leaving President Aronâs office, I pulled Mia to the side in the hallway. I just had to know why Chas had visited President Aron unannounced. âMia, why was Chas here? I saw him leaving just as I was preparing for the meeting.â âHe burst in right after I left your office, demanding to know…

 Shopkeeper Percival was successful in burning all of the infected grain in a bonfire. His actions in locating the source of the mysterious illness, allowed Surgeon Gavin to come up with an effective anti-virus and eradicate the illness. Percival was deemed a hero and given the title of Trader Percival.  Shortly after, Queen Chalyela the…
 Gavin determines that the grain is in fact the cause of the malady. He uses small amounts of it, along with various herbs.  Gavin prepares the mix. It crackles and sparkles in his mixing container. It is a failed mix.  Gavin is not deterred, he has one other combination in mind.  Now that they are…
Percival returns from a trip to the village deeply disturbed. âWho are all of these people?â He asks a guard referring to the individuals who are lying on the ground near the path to the village. âI believe they are sick refugees who were trying to get to the clinic to see the surgeon.â Bodies…
Percival and Felicia retreat to their bed and stare at Iliana.   âShe is beautiful,â Percival says, âMaybe we should not wait long for another.â He says leaning in attempting to hold Felicia. âNo Percival! I just had a baby. I am not ready for that.â   Now they both sit uncomfortable. It is no…
