Quest of the Frozen Village.

Long ago, in a town long forgotten, lived a man and his wife. The man was tall and built to fend off anyone who came too close to him, and his wife who was so elegant with her golden silk hair and fair blue eyes; were a couple that looked of the Gods. The man loved his wife ever so much and would have done anything for her, but one day, an evil sorcerer came to him asking for his wife’s first born child. The man refused, knowing that if their child was taken it would destroy his wife inside; leaving the wizard no other choice than to curse him. All their crops and animals slowly started to die, with their family pet being the next to go, but none of that bothered him as much as when his wife fell ill. She was just a little shy of being 8 months pregnant and in fear of losing the child he went back to the evil sorcerer, hoping for another chance. The sorcerer told him that he would save their child in exchange for one thing, his beloved wife. He refused and in result his wife died giving birth to their son, Aspen. He was named for his snow white hair and fair skin by his mother; therefore, soon after the man died of a broken heart without having his wife and Aspen was left alone. Without his parents it was up to his guardian Jaymus, the village’s most respected wizard, to take care of the small child and that is where it all began.
          Many years later, Aspen had grown into young adulthood. Still with his snow white hair and his turquoise eyes, he was pursued by many of the young maidens in the village; he was a spitting image of his mother.  But by the guidelines that Jaymus, he wasn’t allowed to spend time looking for a bride. Jaymus had told Aspen that great things will come of him if he follow the rules that he is given. He was to never leave his village, nor go out past nightfall, and most importantly he was never to tell the story of his parents to anyone. Even though Aspen had no idea who his parents were, he had the story of his birth memorized. He had always wondered the reason why he wasn’t allowed to speak of the tale to anyone but he followed Jaymus’ rules regardless.

Meh, I don't even know why I start to write any stories because I can never get myself to finish them.

  2. Thank you, Ashley. I actually worte this last year in English 10 for a project but never turned it in because I could never get myself to finish it. Hopefully I can find some inspiration for it soon so I can finish this, along with a couple other stories I've started and wanted to get them done.
