I was born in the stepps of the balkin mountans in the now russian lands. I lived in a small village my father was a blacksmith, my mother was a housewife renowned for her beutiful crafts. I and my sister Natalia would run free in the near by hills, leting the sun wash over us and bleech our hair blondish. My sister Natalia was 3 years younger than me yet she could always beat me in a foot race. that was how this all started. a foot race gone wrong. One sunny after noon we were out playing in the near by foot hills. it was near sundown when we decided to return home, we laughed and raced home. we started up the last big hill, she reaced the top first, I can't see how a 5 yr old be so quick. She shreaked in horrer and started running down before i even reached the top, once i cressed the top i saw the horror. Down below our village was being raided but worse of all natalia was runing striait in to it all. Flashes of light and screams of fear and death filled the vally air as i futaly ran after natalia as she ran. she ran faster and faster soon i lost sight of her as she ran in to the village. I ran and ran as fast as my 8 yr old legs would take me but i arriver the last building was torched and the last adult lay slain. The horsed raiders were escaping with the childer in tow. i tryed runneing after them. i saw my sister slung over a horse. there was a flash of light then a horibal burning sencation spreding thrue my chest as i flew back hitting the ground hard. Then blackness enveloped me as they were leaving. i awoke in a bool of blood and mud a horendous stench of death and rot hung in the valley. that day I burried my family and my village in a shallow mass grave. I gathered what I could that evening which was extreamly little. A bladder of water and some smoked vinison and a sling were all that was useable. That day I voued to find Natalia before I die.
