The Hell's Cradle
I decided to start with the most untiring task from the list, which was feeding the horses, and end it opposite the latter, which was cleaning the bare dirtied hog pen. But it was now midday, and still, I was not even half done with the chores. And to make matters worse, I was already dead worn out.

It was time for the girls to meet the little dog, Boy. Yes, it was his name. Unfortunately, Gabriel had a pea sized brain and did not even bothered to use its entirety.

Mathilda 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.

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.

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.
Mathilda The Punished Angel II
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.
