There are also giant trees, with homes, and they are mostly behind the sheek. A few rowls are back there too. We call it the mystery giant forest. We call it a mystery, because no body doesn't really know whats back there, because our moniters don't reach that far, "you'll have to be crazy to go in there," many say. No body knows how far it leads out there too. Then there are the water crates that are in front of the sheek, and on the left side of the sheek, but are hundred of miles from the sheek. You can see them in the distance if you look out of the sheek. So we know were at the end of land, because of the water crates. The water crates reach only a few feet higher then the sheek. So if one of those crates broke, we'd most likely be gone.
Back to the sheek though, there are four grounds in the sheek, kind of what you call your land to seperate them. I live on the second ground with my mother, my baby brother Jad, who is ten-months old, and my nine-year-old sister Sili.Our home is a round shaped object made from straw and clay. Every one lives in something like that in the town, except the rulers and powerful people. They got big golden homes. The people in our town including us are like prisoners here; the ruler here won't let us out of the town without letting him know. The town was even gated all around the town in golden designs. The guards let certain people in, and certain people out. And everyone has a black writing on our left shoulder. It's the rulers intials"WN," I got mine when was a baby, so I don't know how bad it hurt.
She asked,�Do you want some Konu?"
I tiredly said,� I'm not hungry for dregs ma, I'm just going to have an apple."
She put the spatchler down and said" alright, more for me and Jad."
I looked around the room and didn't here any noise except the snappling of dregs. It was really quite; it's never this quiet. I got all confused and said"where's Sili, is she sick or something, because for once she ain't dancing around the house yelling."
My mom brought the cooked dregs to the table and sat in a wooden chair, and started to feed Jad. She made those dumb noises so he would open his mouth, which I thought was corny.
She then smiled and looked up at me and said" She went to a friends house in the morning, so you have to drop by on the way to tencher, and pick her up."
I turned and picked up my napsack and walked out of the house and said,�Ok, bye."
When I was outside I heard her yell"Bye honey." I put my hand over my forehead and shook my head, how embarrassing, and if that wasn't enough my friend Duke, who's training to be a warlock was walking up to the house and heard her.
He started to chuckle and said" hey, you happy it's the last day."
I said"yea, but there's not much to do in this town for the break."
We walked on the street, and people were in the town streets buying and selling goods. We stopped at a house where my sister was with her friend sitting on the porch, that was by the girls house.
She ran up and said" where were you, we waited five minutes."
I pushed her to the side and said" hey, I could have just left you here with your little friend and not walk with you to tencher."
I started to laugh and said" Sili, you've been going to tencher for three years. I think you know where it is."
With her snotty voice again she said,�Well...of course I know where it is, but ma doesn't know that. She thinks I need your help to tencher."
I sighed, and then said,�Yea, ok, lets just go."
Then we started to walk to tencher. When we were about there, and I could here tromping coming our way from behind us. I turned around and lots of black horses with black armored knights on them rode by us leaving a cloud of dust in our faces. I started to cough, and bent down and stared at the ground coughing.
Duke started pat my back, and said"are you ok Konu."
I stood up and said"yea, just a lot of dust. I wonder where they were going. There was a lot of knights, maybe were going into battle with another village for land."
I saw in the distance the knights and horses leaving the village. The guards opened the squeeky golden gates and let them out. I saw the tencher and it was at the left of us. We walked in and all went to the same room. The benches were in rows on both sides of the rooms� acording to class. I sat by Duke, and took out my notepad and a pencil to write down stuff I need to know. I saw a mirror that was in the front of the class, and I saw my brown hair being lifted up. Like what happens with rubbing something together to get static. My eyes widened, and I jumped up, and quickly went closer to the mirror to make sure I wasn't seeing things. As I looked in the mirror I saw in the backround, Duke fiddling with his fingers and smiling. I turned around and glared at him. I was so mad, I couldn't believe it, and he was practicing his magic on me.
I went up to him and said,�What are you doing. Don�t do your magic on me."
He chuckled and said,�Oops, I was trying to make you float in the air, my bad."
