This Fantasy Short Story, written for a Creative Writing class, is inspired by Classical Mythology and takes place in the Greek-inspired land of Gratia in the south of Cletus (the same continent where the unfinished Chronicles of the Fugitive Prince story takes place). An eighteen-year old shepherd is reluctantly pulled into a lethal ordeal: for the past 8 years, his city-state had been forced to choose a champion to fight the most vicious warrior of the land. During his task, the farmboy will discover that he has powers and heritage that he never thought possible. He must use all of his talents to succeed in his task. Can he do so?

Is anything fine?""Of course!"The moment I gave that answer with certainty, his expression changed right at once to that of a starving predator...

Her family always ensures she has a balance of everything-enjoyment, work, and skills. Along with that, she has ample time to see her friends, especially her personal knight, Shinonome Akito. Her family has showed her the cities all throughout the kingdom and spent quality time with her, strengthening the family relationships.Aoyagi Toya, after begging and pleading his father for years, ventures into the inner parts of his kingdom (accompanied by knights) and explores different sceneries-the same day Shiraishi Ken takes An to discuss diplomacies in the same city.
