August 24th, 1st memory ... My Birthday
My birthday... probably one of the more exciting ones. After this one, things seemed to be... not the same. But I'd rather not go into that right now. Too many details, and such little time.
The party that father threw for me was okay, to say the least. Sure there were lots of people there and they seemed to be having fun, and I had a lot of gifts brought to me. But they seemed to be there for my father instead of me. In fact, I think Demetri had more of a spotlight than I did. It's alright though, Nikolai and Danae were there with me. Along with two of my friends Darren and Phillip. They were twins and a year older than I. But they grew fond of me more than the others, something about potential. Heh, that must've been laid to rest by now.
That day we went and found the wooden training swords and shields in the armory. We had a small little adventure around the castle grounds. Slaying beasts ,the dog, that were vile, gruesome, and would tear you limb from limb. Yes it was an epic journey and I'll never forget that day. Especially when father found out about it.
To make a long story short, I was spanked and given a long speech. Even it was my birthday I wasn't about to let anyone take the fall for me... Much like I would now... Damn am I really so lost that I would let someone else be hurt to save my own skin? Where is the little boy I knew?
