Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: A World Of Despair

I'm Charlie Everterm, But you probably know me as the Golden Crow or also know as the one who achieved peace. This is my story of how I found the Golden Crow and achieved true peace, so sit back and read my story.

When I was 11 I lived in a little cottage out in the farmlands. we were farmers to gain money but not much, we only made enough for bread and water. we couldn't even eat our own crops or else we would not have enough to survive the next day. In this world, you have to sacrifice to survive and if you don't you will become prey. Anyways my parents and I didn't really have the best relationship, we would always be at each other's throats. One time I got so angry I threw a bottle of water at my dad then he sent me to the field. If you don't know what the field is then you are in for a treat. The field is a cage made out of grass and the grass is super Sharp, it cuts through the skin like a paper cut just hurts way more. Father told me that they used these to keep prisoners in and slice them up for dinner, there was a saying that father would sing, " The Stupid Man Deserves This Punishment As A Reward, But The Stronger The Man, The More Freshest He Gets."

Father would try to scare me after all they blame all of what happened on me. It's apparently my fault that we have barely any money cause they have to spend on me or it was that I didn't do enough chores around to help, But the one that hurts the most is they blame my brother's death on me, ON ME! Ever since I was born this family was not happy, But besides one happy jolly soul, the only jolly soul I've ever seen in this world was my brother.

My brother which I prefer not to say his name was a kind soul he would try and keep this family happy, with his jokes and dance moves but Mother and especially Father did not care much they were always depressed. He always talked about peace and what would it be like. but when I was 7 he was killed by his own hand, he took his own life after living a depressing life. My parents blamed me for his death, But he left me a note that I did not understand well I heard mom talk about it when I was a kid.

It was a dumb fairytale, The Golden Crow. The Golden Crow was a small fairytale about a bird that gives out peace. " As old as time, the bird that shines bright is golden and peacefully as a new lit sky. The one who can find this wonderful site will be able to feel peace even if in spite, the bird will stay and guide, just like a flock of terrarites." this short fairytale is obviously fake(only if I knew then of what I know now.) And if you don't what a terrarite is, it's a cross of a bird and an elephant, they are carnivores too. they are scary so why them, they aren't peaceful?

Now comes a day when my home was demolished the first day of my journey, the day of most despair. I was walking back to the cottage from our little stream on the outskirts of our farmland, I could smell burning wood which I didn't really think of much until I saw the smoke above the area where the cottage is at. I ran as fast my scrummy little legs could take me, I ran and ran till I collapsed in front of a horrible site. The cottage collapsed to the ground and was on fire, The farmlands were scavenged like people left in a hurry, and then my parents were brutally squashed by the cottage. My world just turned to absolute hell, I actually thought about killing myself then and there but then.

A piece of paper flew through the smoke and ash, it landed right in my hand and it was The paper my brother left me. I knew what I had to do, I had to find The Golden Crow.
