A Dark Room
Nations do not surface in a day. They start from humble, tiny beginnings. Built with good intentions. But all it takes is a mind twisted by greed to change everything.
I am the leader of a prosperous village. Work is frequent, food plentiful, and smiles are everywhere.
I could not do it alone, though. Luna helped me make it all. I am thankful for this.
And yet not all is well. The forest outside calls to me, demands that I explore its depths and the world. The more that come to settle, the less reason I have to stay.
Luna begs me not to go. Says I should stay. The world out there is dangerous. This village, our village, is safe.
But I must go. I will see the world, and nothing will stand in my way.
Nothing.
