text: Today's tale is one of importance. Alikast as beautiful and adventure filled as it may be is not unrealistic. There are many problems that go on in this w orld that go unseen by many. Turin was dealing with the hurricane that devastated part of their coast and Breter. preparing for war against its neighbor region Artis. This tale of change takes place in Artis. A large village within this region called Esterville is the home to many. Those who live in this village are ruled under a noble. Though the region they are inhabiting is preparing for war. Esterville is going through a massive controversy over their partly beloved noble. This noble being a beautiful young female who just recently came to rule over Esterville. A few months after she took the place as noble of this village she announced something that would change this town and possibly the continent forever. This girl's name was Taliah. "Trev- I mean uh Taliah!" a voice said shaking the young Taliah awake. Taliah was of fair skin and beautiful long brunette hair. Hearing her name being shouted while she was sleeping wasn't a surprise to her anymore since it's been her daily life since forever. Though this morning she had a smile on her face when awoke. She slowly got up from her bed to look at her caretaker. A middle aged woman named Elaine. She's been Taliah's caretaker since the day she was born and loved doing her job. "Good morning Elaine" Taliah said still with a smile. Her and Elaine had a wonderful relationship and quite enjoyed each other's company. Though sometimes they get on each other's nerves because Taliah is a teenager and sometimes acts recklessly. Elaine tries her best to keep Taliah in check from her wild and eccentric habits but when she can't she scolds the young noble. After saying good morning Taliah got out of bed and went instantly downstairs. Her daily routine was getting up and going straight to the kitchen for her breakfast. It was her favorite meal of the day because she got to spend her time eating with her mother and of course Elaine. Though recently ever since she had made her announcement Taliah's mother no longer came to eat breakfast with her. She never came to eat any meals anymore. Now it was just her and Elaine. A sad sight to see for the other workers in the house. Though Taliah tried to keep it out of her thoughts everyone could tell it was slowly causing Taliah's heart to break. She was a noble though. Keeping up her facade of faint happiness was something she was good at. Taliah sat down at the table and her breakfast was already in front of her. The family chef makes it every morning right before her daily wake up that way she can eat it right away. All the workers were quite fond of Taliah. She was a sweet girl who cared about everyone and everything and wouldn't ever let something get in the way of what she thought was right. They've had trouble adjusting after the announcement but they're trying their best. Taliah appreciates all the effort they've put in to making her the happiest she can be. Being a noble is hard though. The work given is a lot and recently people don't really seem to be coming to the noble for the help they need instead are trying to fix it on their own which is causing more issues within this village. People have started to move and some have even threatened riots. Taliah's mother though not throwing a fit was definitely not supportive of her daughter as of late and left. "Young MIstress, you need to see this” Elaine called out from the other room. Taliah hearing this rushed to eat her food and darted to the foyer of the manor. As she ran in she saw her lovely caretaker holding an envelope. An envelope from her mother it would seem. On the front hastily scribbled read out “*Dear Trevor*.” Seeing this the young noble lost all the joy she had from this morning. Her face went neutral. She opened up the letter. Being the rebellious teenager that she is and trying to make some sort of statement she read the letter aloud. *Dear Trevor,* *It is in my best interest to leave Esterville for good. I do not approve of you being a female especially when you are not one. Most of the townsfolk do not seem to approve of this either. For that reason I will be taking my leave and heading elsewhere. I would also like for you to know that I no longer think of you as family and will not be returning unless this phase of yours ends. Good luck with Esterville.* *Goodbye.* Tears started flowing down Lady Taliah's face. Her mother didn't accept her for who she was and didn't want anything to do with her. So much so she denounced herself as being her mother. A fate which none had hoped for had come to life. Elaine hearing this rushed and pulled the young noble into her arms. This hurt for both of them. Elaine couldn't stand seeing her young mistress cry and Taliah had lost the only family she had left. After a few moments Taliah pulled back and wiped the tears from her face. She walked to her guards in the front of her manor and told them to request an audience at 1p.m. at the front of her balcony. Doing so the two left in a hurry to gather the whole town for another announcement. Then running upstairs she grabbed a pen and paper and started writing furiously. She had so much to say to so many people and she was going to. Hours had gone by when the time had finally come. The audience she had requested are in front of her balcony waiting for her approach. Some didn't show but most did. Those who had accepted her from the very start were excited to see what direction she was going to take the village. Those who didn't were hoping that she would say that this entire thing was a joke or a misunderstanding of some sort. Either way people were there and that's all she needed. Walking out onto the balcony she stared down at the citizens of her town. A population of 19,912. There were immense numbers of people staring up at her. All chatting and wondering what was going on. At which point the young noble spoke up. "Citizens of Esterville! First and foremost I would like to talk about the other day" Taliah started off her speech. She went on this long rant about who she was and how she was good enough and didn't need to be accepted by those who didn't like it. She was happy with who she was. This was not going to stop her. Many had smiles on their faces seeing this. Some of which decided to talk about who they were even if who they were wasn't widely accepted. Those who didn't accept this started to yell and raise their fists. Taliah however wasn't done. "Secondly! A new law will be passing, discrimination against others is something that is going to happen! But here in Esterville you are free to be whoever you like!" Taliah went on about the law and how it would affect this village. People started to get increasingly angry but the guards were all on Taliah's side and were handling any sort of mob that was starting to form. It was a happy day for Esterville. A day were discrimination though it wouldn't end would hopefully start to decrease. Taliah pulled out her last piece of paper from the bottom of the pile and read it to the citizens. "Lastly! I, Taliah Remming will be stepping down as noble of this village and will be declaring Miss Elaine as the head of this manor" She put the paper down and looked softly at her caretaker. Her caretaker at this point crying and trying not to implode from all these different emotions hugs the young noble. The two wave at the citizens of Esterville and then Taliah walks back inside. She packs her bags and writes a final note to everyone *Dear Everyone* *Thank you for everything. I'm going to go for a while. It's time to finally find my father. Take care.* *Love, Taliah.* Leaving the note behind with a little heart on the front of it she leaves from the back of the manor on an adventure to find her father and change the world.
