I sat on the edge of the cliff. I stared down at the bloodied body below. I did not want it to move. I didn't want Dargess to be alive again. He had caused Augun and I so much trouble.

I sat and thought about what Dargess had said, "Have you ever stopped to think that my clan might be the good clan?"

Could Augun be my real enemy? I thought to myself. I did not know what to think about this clan. I had been taken from my family and to a strange clan that I had known nothing about. For all that I knew, they could be a group of dancing squirrels in disguise and I would never know, even though that was highly unlikely.

Finally, I got up and began to climb down the cliff. Once I reached the bottom, Augun ran over to me and squeezed me in his big arms. "Are you hurt?", he asked. "No..I am fine.", I trailed off.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked me back to the village. Their, he trained his men and even began to pick up troops. Instead of fighting with them, Augun made me stand and watch. In only a few minutes, I grew slightly annoyed.

"Can I please train with you?", I asked him. Before Augun could answer, a new soldier interrupted. "A girl? Fight? Ha! You are helpless! You can do nothing.", he spat. Well that escalated quickly.

"Sir, I am to possibly marry this man. I can and I will fight by his side.", I stated calmly. Augun nodded and pushed me towards the men. I took the sword that he handed me and stood in the crowd as new men looked at me angrily.

When may I have a time where no one is so cross with me? I thought. But no one answered in my head. The only thing that continued to spin through my mind was Dargess and his mysterious words. Every man that I fought, I now had to picture as Dargess to give me determination.

I felt as though I was growing tired of fighting. I had been fighting Dargess and his clan so much that my limbs and mind became weary of such activities.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind. My mother and I sat in the tall grass of a nearby field. I saw that I appeared to be about five years old. Mother sang to me in the sweetest voice.

"Amongst the clans and amongst the land
Came a ferocious problem at hand

A man so spritely and stout
Had been slain by a mere thought of doubt

Distrust and pain amongst his mind
Had killed all of his merry finds

No happiness existed anymore
And so he soaked the Earth's soft floor

The soil clumped with blood
And the grass grown with tears
The man had confirmed the people's very fears

And he was never a man so spritely and stout
Because he was slain by a mere thought of doubt"

I came out of the vision and fell to the hard ground. Suddenly, everything slipped away into cubes of blackness. And my world fell apart piece by piece.
