The Fallen Knight
We were playing a game of hide and seek, it was all of us and the dog against the sisters and the knights.
Almost after all the chores, we ran straight outside the compound and away from it to meet with Gabriel and Boy. We had to sneak out, of course. But sometimes, we had to stay in, and the stable was the only place available, for no one could pass through a barricade of aged sisters. Even me.
But Gabriel could. I still had no i

The next morning, I decided to change Michael’s bondage and also to reapply a fresh poultice. But the storage had no hint of any bloodied knight. It was as if he was not there, and Hana and I too. So, during breakfast, I searched for Hana to asked her about what had happened, but instead, I found Michael. He was sitted at the far end of the dining table designated for the knights, with two other boy that looked his age. He s

I had the littlest idea about where we were going, and yet, I still followed Gabriel. This better not be a prank. We were walking for ages. I thought we were going to the river-lake, but we just passed through its natural magnificence. We then entered the Adan forest, but there was nothing here to see, so I guessed our destination was further the path.
Mathilda The Punished Angel I
The world was cruel. I grew up knowing this for I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced its unfairness. All along I thought that my life had its fair share of pain and sorrow, that it was enough reason for me to shout and throw hatred at it, but I did not know that the world can be even crueler. The winter air woke me up of my slumber. I expected needles and pines as my bed and the melodious singing of the song birds to continue, but the moment I opened my eyes, I was back at my own stuffy quarter. I was back on my own personal cage.

I ran. There was not enough air and it was making my chest very tight, but it did not stop me from running. Both my feet were burning and there was a buzzing in my ears, but still, it did not stop me from going on. I ran so fast that I thought I would faint. I could not, not until I saw them. “Where are you?” I mumbled to myself as I halted for some air.
Mathilda The Milk Maids
The convent was not a home without Hana. All of us were trying to get used of Hana’s predicament. It was odd that no one was around to reprimand us whenever we were doing something silly. No stop that, and you should do this. I miss her. It was really true that you would only miss something after it was gone. She was not really gone though. She was just a few miles away from us, living alone on that aged farmhouse.

Our week of scrubbing floor and kitchen duties had finally ended.And now, we would make the farmhouse a comfortable home. The farm house was an English Tudor house. It was aged and very plain. It was rectangular in shape with steep thatch roof that was slightly extended and beaten. Its façade had earth tone cladding mostly of tan that was now faded, and the entryway was lined with chipped stone, some stone blocks below were even missing. At its right side was a tall stone chimney covered in algae and around the house was thick woode
Mathilda The Vile
I did not need the clattering silver pans of Martha to wake up early now. With Martha’s blessing I was allowed to be at the cookery whenever I wanted, but unfortunately, I still could not cook a proper dish alone. My soup tasted experimental like medicine, my loaves were either overly burnt or under baked, and the worst was my excessively sweetened hot chocolate. After clothing myself, I went to the other side of the s
