I was in my room for the whole day, i got in to a fight with my "mother". She thinks i don't know that she not my real mother.She fond me in the woods two years ago. Due to the fact that I couldn't recall anything before then, she gave me fake memories. That doesn't change the fact that I'm the only one here with no magic, not even a drop. None of other kids my age seem to mind it much but it their parents that hate me. Oh yeah my name is , Xena Evelyn Crosslands,taller the all the boy here and your average savage.
You may be wondering what this fight was about. Well, she wants me to go to this ball that all girls MUST attend. The next king of the light kingdom of Relandra wants to make an alliance with us the light village of Violetfield. There are two kind of kingdoms and villages the light one are the one that are the good guy they protect the universe form the dark kingdom. I think you see where I'm going with this. One of our village girls must give herself up and marry the soon to become king. I remember her face when I said I won't go.

"Xena ... Please sit down" I was reading a bookwhen mother spoke. I usually never listen to a word she says but something in her tone made me stop.
"what?" she looked at me in hatred and slaps me on the cheek.
"How many times do I have to slap you to make you speak like the other girls!!!"
"The rest of your life it seems" I snapped at her and move away when she tries to slap me again. I wonder what was up she never cared much about the way I am much anymore. She hands me a scroll that had been open, it had a gold seal that had the royal crest of the Kingdom Of Relandra on it. I carefully open it scared about what was in side. What did i do wrong? I read the srcoll twice to make sure I didn't misread it.
We like to have your daughters or female relative in your household that is still a maiden 11-17 to attend a five months that will chose our next queen and seal our
alliance with each other on November 10th XX203. All girls will be tested the one His majesty's likes best will be the next queen.
"So.." mother asked
"No"
"But the honor!!!" She yelled.
"Don't really care" I yawned.
"can you think of others for once!!!!" She was shoutinhg at this point .
"That is a waste of time. " I stood and stretch.
"Your going like it or not!!! "
"Ok how about this.....NEVER AS LONG AS I BREATH!!!" As i said all that i was going up the stairs and in to my room.

As I layed in bed that evening I heard then sounds of girls and boys playing, gossiping about the ball, fighting, laughing,being young and free something that was not part of my life. It was that night when I looked out to see Jill and mark holding hands steping into a corner and started kissing that i relized just how alone I was.
