While the battle continued with the city, a detail of men slowly moved the catapults away, ordered to return to Ironmoor and await further orders. Watching as his troops easily advance, securing block after block, Count Nightburn grew impatient, knowing that his prize was within his grasp, and made the decision to forego the assistance from his army to slip away, proceeding alone to the palace. He found only a handful of guards protecting the entrance and these, he easily dispatched with his sword. Walking unscathed to the palace’s two great doors, opening and stepping inside, he found himself in a long hallway lined with large pillars. Cautiously, he moved down the hall with his way suddenly barred by two soldiers stepping out from behind the pillars, swords drawn, but he dispatched …show more content…
If you refuse, I will kill you. That makes Cassius, the heir apparent and I plan to offer the same deal to him, and if he, too, chooses to refuse, I will kill him also. I will continue this offer until your bloodline surrenders or is no more. Surrender Whitefield or die, simple terms to understand, even for a backward, pathetic kingdom such as this.” You surely understand these conditions, do you not?” Nightburn waited for King Rolthoss’ response. “Yes I understand them, but I simply do not care for them very much. You act as if you have already won.” “I have already won. When you are dead, your soldiers will quit fighting and drop their arms and they will pledge their allegiance to me. My army will grow with the addition of your troops whom you have so kindly provided. Parsis will fall next if it hasn’t already, then it’s game over. This continent will belong to me.” “So you say, but you are too eager, too eager to rule this continent, as was your father and it got him

Society generalizes first world teenagers, describing them as trapped inside a bubble, shielded from harsh realities of impoverished nations and living with the delusions that their problems dominate all others. While this stereotype does not hold true for all young adults, the unfortunate truth remains: many do not count their blessings. Recently with our soccer team, we had the opportunity to visit Vista Maria, a home and school in Dearborn for girls ages 11 to 17 coming from abusive domestic environments, including sex trafficking and family deficiencies. Interacting with the bright and beautiful girls felt incredible and encouraged us and the team to truly understand how fortunate we live. This trip inspired us to plan on visiting Vista
Reigning NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, refused to attend the customary tradition of visiting the White House after their championship victory. To make a statement, the team took young kids to an African American history museum; this decision made in hope to inspire the public that sports and athletes can impact change. Recurring issues involving racial profiling, discrimination, and police brutality, have fueled a historical timeline with professional athletes protesting social oppression. The position of fame held by an athlete intensifies the athlete’s performance, words, or actions, drawing a wide range of the world’s attention. The athlete’s voice, when amplified onto a public platform, is imperative in shedding a light on social

Maybe today we woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe our routine was messed up, we had a fight with our best friend, or work is getting more and more stressful. Who knows, it's just a bad day, but no matter how horrid the day may seem, it is never as bad as it seems. There are many individuals to whom a bad day for us is a blessing to them, especially if you compare our present-day circumstances to the circumstances in which they are forcibly accustomed to live in. There are individuals that work hard all their lives thinking that if you work hard there is no possible way that you won't achieve your dreams. Ronny is from a small pueblo called Metlaltoyuca located in the state of Puebla, Mexico.

I would like to show you a different perspective on a topic that is very close to me, and hopefully persuade you to see this stance in a different light. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed to punish the states that allowed people under the age of 21 to buy and consume alcohol. I am sure you are aware of this act but that is when i believe a right was taken away from american citizens.

I am fully aware of the opposing argument, that “kids” under 21 are not responsible for their actions when they are impaired by drinking, but the same is true about people over 21 as well. What defines 21 as the age that makes you so much smarter than the 20 year old that you were last week.
“Well thought out, Balthazar. I have to agree that it would be the most beneficial to both parties.” Nightburn decided to keep the possibility of an agreement with the goblin General Zhousbek to himself because if successful, it would definitely turn the tide in favor of Holdrum and Parsis and make retrieval of the tome a certainty. Nightburn then turned to Sir Faine who had come to the table late in the conversation.

He fixed his gaze to a dark corner of the room then a man can out from the shadows. “What is he doing here I thought he was exiled” nobles started murmuring, disgusted at the sight that the exiled prince who planned a coup d’etat is actually still alive. “My son Lucious Venera, Leader of the Black Hand This is your Last Mission, Bring The Codex and The Star of Mythalia to Alice.

‘J’ responded with the ancient shrug of all those who find themselves helpless before a conqueror’s massive power. He knew he could be killed for even implying a criticism of the super power this man, this ‘K,’ represented.
“I am Skjorvar, son of the Empress, protector of Arkniel, and slayer of countless shadow-beasts. My sword and my shield are polished with the blood of my enemies. The gods blessed me from birth with my power to be the one to save all of Arkniel. I am here to defend your land, with my own life if necessary.
