Chapter 2:The Continent of Ayoth
----------------------------------------------------------
Edin now three years old was sitting on his grandfather’s lap looking at the portrait of Thomas Jackson Freestone the first—the first head of house Freestone—the portrait was hanged above the fireplace located in the study.
Each room in the two story manor—Known as Hawk’s Nest—had a fireplace. It was strange for Hawk’s Nest was built in the middle of an unnamed jungle with a hot climate.
Edin’s grandfather—Thomas Jackson the third—was telling the history of their house to the young child.
“You see after he helped the Thisadora Kingdom conquer the other Human kingdoms —together with a few natives of the jungle— he Traveled deep into the jungle until he saw a hawk perched on a on top of a cliff. That’s when he decided to build this manor on that very cliff and the village of Porahi was built below the cliff soon after,”
House Freestone were the Lords of the village of Porahi and the lands near their plantation. The villagers were similar in characteristics to the Hindus from our own world.
All of the villagers worked for House Freestone in one way or the other.
The Freestone plantation relied on the cutting down of and processing of timber which would then be sent to the nearby by port town of Naoni to be shipped off to buyers. They also bred and captured elephants as a work force. The Mahouts—elephant rider— domesticated the elephants and used them to carry many different things.
“Well I think it’s time for you to play with Allison don’t you think Edin?”
“Yesh” responded the three year old Edin
As Edin grew older his old personality died. It wasn’t really death but rather Edin was a three year old who remembered information from another world. The television, soda, cars, trains and celebrities, He remembered all these things but nothing more.
His grandfather carried him to the nursery room.
Playing in the nursery with the toys was a three year old Cat-girl with orange hair.Allison was Lilith’s little sister and daughter of the Butler and maid. Alfonse Head butler was of the Zvire dog race while his wife was of the cat race.
Grandpa Freestone sat Edin down.
“Well have fun you two I’m gonna go get a drink,”
Both children nodded and Edin asked Allison a question as Grandfather Freestone left to go drinking with the other elders from the village.
“What do you wanna play?”
“Let’s play hunters and prey!” screamed Allison
“Um how do you play?” he asked while tilting his head
“You are the hunter and I’m the tiger ok!”
“uh ok but,”
“TIGER CLAW!” screams Allison as she slapped his face and drew blood from her nails scratching his face
“Uwa I’m sowwy I didn’t mean it,” Allison said while wiping his face
He pressed his lips and his eyes grew watery as he tried not to cry.
“UUUWWWAAA!!!” He began to cry.
Allison hugged him and tried to comfort him when his mother ran into the room.
“Get away from him!” she screamed as she pulled Allison away and picked him up.
Allison’s mother and the maid of the Hawk’s Nest came in and picked up Allison
“I’m very sorry Milady,”
Lurel bowed down to apologize and to avoid Madelynne’s death like glare.Thomas Jackson The fourth Edin’s father walked in to the room.
“What’s all the commotion?”
Madelynne pointed at Lurel
“I want them gone,”
Thomas looked at Lurel
“Please leave us to talk alone Lurel,”
Lurel nodded and left together with Allison.
“Hey maddy don’t you think you’re being a bit over protective, I mean you don’t even let him out of the house?”
“He’s my son,”
“Yeah he’s mine too but you’re spoiling him a bit much and besides they’re just children playing accidents happen,”
Madelynne nearly cursed him but remembered she still had Edin in her hands. Having already tended to the small cut Madelynne set Edin down on to the floor.
“Go somewhere else while mommy and daddy talk,”
“OK!” He said and ran out the room hearing some loud voices but he paid no attention to them.
He walked to the small library they had which contained very little amount of books. One could
count the books in their own head quite easily.
His Ten year old brother Thomas the fifth was seated on a chair reading a book. Black haired and blue eyed Thomas looked nothing like his father.
“What are you doing?” asked Edin curiously
“Reading a book,” answered his brother a bit annoyed by the question.
“Hmm what is it bout?”
“Stuff you wouldn't understand,”
Edin stopped asking and simply sat down. A few minutes passed by of Edin staring at his older brother.
Thomas sighed
“Can I help you with something?”
“No,”
“Then why are you here?”
“I wanna be here,”
“Yeah well I don’t want ya here,”
Edin stuck his tongue out at his brother.
“I’m telling!” he screamed and ran laughing while Thomas chased him.
A week after that Thomas junior left to study at an academy for nobles. He wanted to succeed his father’s place as head and wanted to be prepared so he asked his father. House Freestone had large amounts of gold saved since they rarely spent much of it since they were completely isolated. So Thomas could afford to send junior and not lose much money so he agreed and sent Thomas Jr. north to the Thisadora Kingdom.

Chapter 2:The continent of ayoth and my first battle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’d like to say that these past three years I’ve been reading every single book about this world’s culture, Traditions and geography. So far all I know is that I know very little about the continent of ayoth.
Don’t get me wrong I read every single book in my fathers’ study. However our manor had no library filled to the brim with books.
Why you may ask? Well that would be our Location. My father owns this plantation in which we live in however these lands do not belong to any country. It is simply miles upon miles of jungles.So most of the stuff I know was told to me by my Grandfather Thomas Jackson Freestone the third.
Our manor is situated on top of a cliff overlooking the village of porahi.
Five generations ago my great great grandfather Thomas Jackson Stonehawk Had fought in a series of wars for the thisadora kingdom to unite the human kingdoms. After the war Thomas met a few men who had come from the unknown jungles. So he along with those men ventured deep into the jungle. When Thomas saw a hawk perched on top of a cliff he took it as a sign. So he built a manor and named it Hawk’s nest. He then changed his surname to freestone. The village of porahi was then built on the lands below hawk’s nest.
This is the story that my grandfather has told me at least.
Thus this plantation is literally in the middle of nowhere. The books my father own were books that Thomas had brought with him. The rest of the books were bought from the odd merchant who would happen upon our village or from the nearby port town of Naoni.
House freestone’s main export is timber. Our second export would be in elephants. That’s right this jungle is filled with wild elephants. Our workers tame elephants to help with our production of timber. We sell this timber to either the ganeleon kingdom to the south or to the thisadora kingdom to the north. We deliver our timber and elephants to the nearby port town of naoni where it is then shipped off to our customers.
My eldest brother Thomas Jackson Freestone the fifth (To think my father wanted me to be the sixth lulz) recently turned ten. He has jet black hair with blue eyes. He’s a rather serious kid. I had almost zero interactions with him.
He really is different from my past eldest brother who not only was he captain of the soccer team in high school he was also a practitioner of karate. Had he not had that leg injury he could have gone pro.However he then became a gourmet chef at some five star hotel.
Back to the topic at hand it seems he’s being sent or rather he wants to go to some academy so that he may be an excellent heir to house Freestone.
“Why’s he leaving again?” Asks Herbert
“He wishes to expand your father’s business.” explains Edin’s mother madelynne
“Humph, it’s not like well miss him or something” says Edin while pouting
“I know I won’t! He’s kind of a dick.” mutters Herbert
“Well I’m off to the village!” shouts Herbert while running down the hill.
“mama I wanna go too.”edin tells his mother
“No today you’ll play with Lilith and her sister Allison”
“Allison?”
“Let’s just go meet her they should be waiting in your nursery.”
When we arrive at the nursery I come upon the sight of Lilith and a little girl with orange hair and cat ears who I assume must be Allison.
“Hey ed this is my sister allie.”
“Allie say hi.”
“Hi.”
“Hola” I say
“Hola?”Asks Lilith
“That's his baby way of saying Hi.” Responds my mother
No mother that was Spanish for hello. Don’t look down on my culture!
“So cute, but I have to go and continue my maid work miss so I’ll leave my sister here with you.”
“That’s fine.”
My mother sets me down to play with Allison.
“Let’s play hunters and prey!” screams Allison
“Um how do you play?” I ask
“You are the hunter and I’m the tiger ok!”
“Then what?”
“TIGER CLAW!” screams Allison as she slaps my face with all her strength
“Guh.”What a surprise attack. Prepare to feel my wrath little girl. Repent your sins for striking the young master of this house
As I raise my hand to strike this impudent girl my mother says to me.
” Eddy men do not hit ladies.”
I stop my hand in mid-air. Damn my code honor. You’re lucky I’m a man of honor allie.
“and allie.”
Yes mother reprimand this girl.
“If you really want to hurt a man you hit em where it hurts .You hit their little pewees!”
“THE FUCK!?”I SCREAM.
Mother that’s not what you were supposed to say
“OOH you’re in trouble.” whispers allie
“Edin Drake Dragkagua Freestone gets over here.”
“Ah chit” I replied taunting my mother to do something about it.
She grabs me and spanks my bottom. But I will not submit to her. I glare at her and then she repeatedly spanked me countless times. Ugh my ass hurts I think to myself while tears run down my face.
That day I decided that this was the first of a series of battles I would wage against mama.
