FROST and FLAMES

My day.. Let me tell you something about my day, It began like any other, which is to say bad, hell I'd go as far as to say miserable.

Since the start of the day I was harassed, Walked in on some shit I didn't even care about, had some people try to kill me, and had a stray forced into my care... Today began as a miserable day, now that the day is over... god it has been a good day.

Earlier in the morning.

"Remember today not only are we celebrating the end of the war that has allowed our great nation to flourish, we will also be feasting to celebrate the great union between our Prince Halbert whom is the pride of our nation and the Emperor's daughter Princess Sarah Everheart" yelled a cryer from atop the podium competeing with the sounds of the market.

'Yes yes we get the message. I'm amazed he still has his voice'. The young man thought to himself. 'The poor stooge has been up there for the past week' announcing the same thing and giving updates on progress of the preparations.

"Chris have you been listening to anything i just said to you ?"

The young man Christopher Hayden snapped back to reality looking to one of his few friends Ms.Angela Vicard who was the daughter of a rich merchant, although what their family deals in has always been a mystery to him, any time he tried to inquire she would always have a vague answer such as oh we always try to supply whatever needs our clients have. he knew her family supplied things as simple as cooking supplys to having order contracts with the military.

"Cut me some slack Angela it's already been a long enough morning." He was completley exasperated having just finished their morning classes at the military institute they attend together.

"You kind of brought that on yourself. The instructor was pissed. Im not saying you should have paid attention to the lessons necesarily, but would it really kill you to atleast pretend to pay attention, hell atleast keep your eyes open just to humor the man. Never know maybe he would even cut you some slack if you didn't do this to him every day." She rolled her eyes thinking back to their class. "It's Not like I wish to hear it again either but Sometines it doesn't hurt to play along."
