My Boyfriend:

He's sweet and dark, like dark chocolate.
Crystal-blue eyes like Aquamarines,
His lovely, thick brown hair is framed in my locket.
He can be my knight in shining armor,
While sometimes he can be just all out arrogant.
He does not care for all of my glitter and glamor,
He likes me just the way I am.
That's my boyfriend.

Prologue:The Robbers

The wind blew genl all around the village. The land was covered in snow from the last winter snow storm. A little child was playing in the snow about the age of five. He was all bundled up nice and tight in his little snow suit. His parents were not at home, they had went out christmas shopping.
A car pulled into the drive and shut off. Two men got out of the car that the little boy didn't know who they were. They had masks on and handed up to his front door. The little boy was scared that maybe they were kidnappers, so he hid within the snow. He was scared of them breaking into the house.
Still hiding the little boy of about five knew he had to do something to save his parents from being robbed. So he gathered up courage and strength and approached the strangers. The two men turned and looked at the boy. The boy had his fists up, and ran into them punching them. The two men just laughed as the stronger one picked the boy up in his arms.
"I'll take care of the kid."the one said taking the kid and putting him in the back seat and locking the car. The boy banged and banged on the car trying to escape. The robbers came out with all valuables and money they could find. They opened the trunk and loaded it. They didn't have enough room for the tv in the trunk so they put it in the backseat with the younge boy. As soon as the door opened the boy jumped out and started attacking them again. The stronger one held him while the other tied his hands behind his back and gagged his mouth. They held a knife to his throat.
"Now listen you tell anyone what we did or who we are. We will kill you."he smirked. The little boy starting crying he wanted his parents.They put him back in the backseat and drove off.

Fan Fiction

Hair Hunter Tales:
Throughout the course of history, there has been great leaders. But, there has never risen one so great as Czar Baldy Bald III. In a matter of four days since his coronation, he had built up the strongest army that this world had ever seen and conquered most of the world with the infamous "Hair Hunt." Suddenly, he and his army mysteriously disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until a century later when they were summoned to defeat the Hair Kingdom Survivor that they came back. The students at the Ramen Elite Academy often ask me what happened up until that point when the czar and his army disappeared. In turn, I would ask them, "What do you think happened?" and they would come up with such amazing, far-fetched stories. I can't help but laugh. So I write this book, mostly for my students, but to whoever is interested in the topic. The Hair Hunter Tales, what happened a hundred years ago in the Margarita Empire, as told by a first-hand witness, one of the czar's soldiers, me, Gabriel.

It was a wonderful day in history when the czar was coronated. It seemed like everyone was there, including my queen. Even the sun was there to watch his coronation. The heavens knew it was a great day.

I was listening intently to the czar's speech as I held a parasol over my queen's head. His speech was so simple and powerful and only lasting a couple minutes. I remember it well:

"I accept this title with the utmost gratitude and the understanding that I must lead my empire into a better world. With the help of my advisors, I can help make a better world for all of us. I will build an army to defend our empire and I will rebuild our economy. Soon, our empire will be so great," he threw up his hands and reached out to the sun, "The world will remember the greatness of Czar Baldy Bald III!"

"All hail Czar Baldy Bald III!!!" the crowd began to cheer and applaud.

I was the ambassador of my country in Margarita Empire when Czar Baldy Bald II reigned. I was lucky that the new czar kept me in the court and appointed me a permanent position as his messenger and the leader of a military block. I could understand he had very few people he could trust to take such important roles and he often had to give a couple jobs to one person. I felt that I could take on these tasks.

That evening, my queen was due to go back to our country. She called me to her room, a room that I had asked the czar to give her temporarily. I knew she was wanting to speak to me and encourage me to do a good job as I was still representing my country. But when I sat down on the silk pillow across from her at the table, her face gave me a totally different idea.

My queen often reminds me of a child's porcelain doll. Her skin is so fair and pale and her is as white as snow. Her warm smile seems to be etched in her face like a doll's. But when I had sat down across from her in the dimly lit room, her warm smile was worn away like stone.

"Gabriel," she started, making sure I was paying full attention. At that time, I was. It wasn't normal that my queen would be frowning. "My mirror has showed me many things, true things, false things but I sense what it showed me before I came here was absolute truth. The czar, he is no normal man."

"The czar isn't normal? How?" I asked her anxiously. She often paused to make sure you were catching on.

"He has another form, much more sinister and powerful. In order to obtain that form, he must absorb a hair ball."

"A hair ball?"

"But, he cannot absorb one because one does not exist yet. I saw, in my mirror that one day in the future, there will be born several children with these hair balls that the czar so desperately wants. He only needs one, Gabriel. One life, one hairball, for one man."

"Do you want me to get in his way? Are these children worth saving?"

"Any life is worth saving, Gabriel. I want you to let him obtain a hair ball and observe his true power. Only through this way will the event that I saw in my mirror, occur. But, you will also need power yourself, so I shall give you this," she carefully picked up something beside her and sat it down on the table in front of her.

It was a small white chest with carvings of leaves on it. The carvings were painted gold and on the vertices of the chest were gold plates with leaf imprints in them. There was a single keyhole in the chest but no key.

"Here is the key, Gabriel," she pulled a necklace out from under her robes and handed it to me. "Do not open the chest unless you absolutely need it."

"May I ask, what is in it?"

She leaned in closer and signaled me to come closer too. She put her mouth by my ear, "Weapons of the gods," was all she whispered. It was enough to set my heart racing and my blood flowing cold.

I now possessed weapons of the gods in this chest. This was a bigger responsibility than being the messenger and a military block leader.

"The weapon shall find its own master and the host will know this," my queen whispered as she pulled her veil over her nose and mouth. "Gabriel, remember, do not let anyone possess the key or the chest other than you and make the czar favor you. Become his favorite and cause jealousy amongst everyone one else. This will help you fulfill the vision I had."

"Yes, my queen," I bowed my head as she stood up.

"You and the czar shall take me to my horse, the chest was the only thing I brought here."

Surprisingly, the czar was already waiting for us at the steps. He politely took my queen's hand and walked her down the steps with an unpleasant face. To this day, I can never tell what he is thinking by reading his face.

My queen refused his help to get up onto the horse. She grabbed the bridle and swung up onto its back so elegantly.
"I wish you luck, Czar Baldy Bald," my queen said to him in a loud and clear voice, "Please, take care of my Gabriel,"

"I promise, I'll take good care of her," he said, looking down at me in the corner of his eye.

"Good bye, my queen," I kissed the golden ring on her finger and she patted my head.

"No matter how far you are from home, dearest Gabriel, you will be close in our hearts. I hope that you will do the same too," she pointed to where the key was under my toga. I nodded in reply.

"I bid you farewell!" she shouted as she reared the horse around.

The czar and I watched her as she rode off into the distance. That was the last time I ever saw my queen. I found out later that Lothlorien had been attacked by Czar Baldy Bald IV's army and there were no survivors.

Czar Baldy Bald III set to work quickly, just hours after his coronation. He sent out several troops of a hundred men to different areas surrounding the Margarita Empire to start the "Hair Hunt" while the rest of us, a thousand men and twenty other block leaders waited for the czar to move us into his plan. Six of the block leaders were out with their troops, pillaging hair in search for the hairball.

I sat next to the czar's side while he worked at his desk. Any moment now, I knew he would want me to send a message to a kingdom.

"Gabriel, the block I am assigning you to is not like the others of the A-Z blocks," he started, putting his pen down and staring straightforward, "It is the Lost Block. It will be a secret kept among the block leaders and I. No one else shall know of it, not even the soldiers."

"Yes, my czar," I said, bowing my head. It was a habit after years of serving my queen and the czars of the Margarita Empire.

"You will be the Lost Block's leader. Your block will consist of only three people, excluding yourself. The only way to identify yourselves will be by a bell necklace," he turned in his spining chair and held up a necklace with a golden bell on it. It jingled with every movement he made. "Here is your's."

He put it around my head, pulling it down around my neck. I gazed down at it with childish splendor as the golden bell glinted in the candlelight. My students know that I absolutely love gold. It reminds me of my homeland, the Golden Wood.

"Let me explain to you the importance of the Lost Block. I have formed twenty six letter blocks, each one with a leader and at least a hundred soldiers. The blocks are labeled A-Z," he sat back down at his desk and scanned through his papers, "Blocks A-Z are strong combined, but they are not as strong as the Lost Block. Your queen has told me of your powers, Gabriel, and of the weapons. That's why I assigned you this important job. The Lost Block shall protect me in the time of need. I doubt this will ever happen but I'd rather be safe than sorry."

"I see. So the Lost Block is your back-up plan? That is very clever, my czar," his cleverness still surprises me today.

He turned and smiled proudly, "But that is not the only back-up plan."

I'm sure my eyes had widened. He was indeed no ordinary man. In just a couple hours, he had set up a strong military system and conquered five kingdoms. He increased the empire's economy and land dramatically compared to what previous czar's had done. He allowed me to read through his papers and I found written plans to set aside food and resources for the empire, reforms for the kingdoms he would conquer and temporary laws to enforce when he acquires a new kingdom. This man, he was so intelligent!
