Domrémy, Interior of France, 1412 In a village of simple houses and people, a typical quiet village, little Joan of Arc was born and lived, resting in the arms of her mother who looked after her and her father, caring for horses, with love and devotion. So time went by with a poor childhood, but a happy adolescence that brought her revelations. Revelations that would change the course of an entire story and would go down in history as a fact. One day Joana, already twelve years old, was herding some flocks of sheep in a nearby pasture when a voice came to her ears and said: save France and crown the king.

There is a sign on a wall in Chateau Duras which says: During the Hundred Years War the entire inhabitants of Duras were pitilessly slaughtered by the English.

Claire hummed softly as she leaned against the wall with her eyes closed. It was an old French song that Elias sang to her years ago. Some sort of lullaby sung during to the royal children the early Capetian dynasty, back when the French were called ‘Francs.’ It was originally a Troubadour’s ballad about a young noblewoman learning to dance with her milk brother, and how they secretly fell in love. He had hummed it in the beginning, back when the pain kept her awake and paralyzed, when it was all that she could think of.

In the days that followed their reunion, Abigail and Vincent fell into a comfortable routine, with the rhythm of life in 19th century France once again becoming familiar. Vincent would rise early to work on his art, the natural light of the early morning hours his favorite for painting.

If they win the favor of nobles or wealthy merchants, they are inevitably invited to their homes. Christine saw a handsome young bard get into the carriage of a certain noble lady. Of course, the clothing, jewelry, and supplies here were the trends of the kingdom of France and even the continent.
