– Why is he coming mom? Such an important demon. And in our shack. – I took my mother by the strong hands of an experienced warrior.

– My daughter Julia. I dont know. He saw you as a child. Maybe he wants to get married. – Mom said sarcastically.

– Don’t joke like that mom. At least he’s a handsome man. Such horns and figure. But for him to love a girl from such a wilderness.

– You’re eighteen. It is the age to think about your husband and family. Moreover, I trained you with a sword for many years. He does not fit a wife who can stand up for herself. «Mom hugged me.

– How good that on that day you found me mom.

– My daughter.

We hugged for a long time. It’s good that in this gloomy world we found each other. But I still wanted to know who my real mother was. Ever since childhood, when I found out the truth. Local boys shouted it to me when they ran away from my fists. My mother trained me well.

Getting married was my only chance to get out of this wilderness. Every year there are less and less fish. And the winters are getting colder and longer. People were dying from sea fever. My mother did not want such a fate for me. Maybe she herself sent the letter to her friend Lord Claudius. Mom began to prepare the table for the arrival of the guest. I went to a neighbor, the same former pirate Tamara Shturm, and traded our cow for a bottle of good wine that she kept in her basement. The galley they robbed years ago was carrying loads full of elf wine. The most expensive in the world. But in our wilderness there was no one to buy it. And the pirates gave everything to every family in the city. This is how the habits used to be. The reward was shared among everyone. We lived together. Not like now. From a town of three thousand inhabitants, no more than two hundred remained. And the old and feeble. The youth have all left. This is my chance and I won’t miss it. So I put on the best dress. Braided with white ribbons. My blond hair will suit his taste. I began to wait near the porch of our house. With bread and salt. As it should be. Mother kept busy in the house. Picked up and wiped the dust. It’s not every day that you see her so dressed up and with gold jewelry around her neck. Another thing that reminded her of the glory days.
