The World I Molded
Fictional memoir by Elbert
I feel my own life dimming as I write this. I took the world by storm and ruled it. I thought it was the only way for unity. My country stands strong. I can remember the days when Songold was a small elegant country. I remember my friend Isoff. I remember the day we were fighting in the royal palace when my mom came and told me of the separation between my father the king and my mother the queen. My mood darkened as we went to the temples of ancient Songold. My mother told me that even though I was the crown prince, my cousin would succeed me. I trained with the murals of the monks forgotten. I learned how to control the world from the murals- and learned how to stop that power. From the day of the Solstice, I went into town and took my rightful place as king. I commanded great powers to all the neighboring countries. My army was strong and feared. Eurasia soon fell to my supreme power. I captured Africa and then the Americas. I knew that Antarctica had nothing to hide so I ignored it. Several attempts to control my kingdom have been made. On the Summer Solstice, I received news of a man who also learned from the monks who lived in Antarctica. I searched for years until I found him.
- Grand King Sonoh, King of Asia, Emperor of Europe


I wait in agony as my army charged at Antarctica. My father Sonoh found him but died trying. I am dying as well. 39 years have passed since the day Sonoh died. I myself am tired. I put down many people and killed dozen. The weight on my shoulder is enormous. I feel like my only friends are the illusions surrounding us. I was born the runt but Sonoh told my mother that I would rise to be king. I only knew that he just did that out of greed and jealousy. The oldest was wise, smart, strong and better then Sonoh. I continued the war but greed got the best of me. I did the same tactic. I now realize that I should have ended the war. Regrets are regrets. Farewell.
-Grand King Anansis, King of Asia, Emperor of America
