1 The Truth

Atlas is now 14 living on the streets in the kingdom of Pendragon, he is barely surviving" Rumble....rumble..." Atlases stomach screams out of starvation. Atlas has only survived till now by stealing food from merchants transporting food to other lands, or the rich people who visit his land. Atlas hasn't eaten for days, suddenly he sets his eyes on a wagon with a royal seal," Yes" Atlas says. Atlas slowly walks behind the wagon as he try's to get closer, the wagon suddenly stops, Atlas quickly hides behind the wagon as a man comes out of the wagon " Who's there, come out now or you will be found and killed, come on" says the man "Ahhhhh" Atlas shouts as he holds a dagger, running to stab the man" ohh you foolish boy" says the man "knock" the sound of the back of the sword hitting Atlas on the head. " ahhhh( yawning)...." Atlas suddenly wakes up in a comfortable bed and a man sitting on a chair next to him " AHH" says Atlas with shock " who are you" he also says almost with disbelieve " ohh so you are awake, I am the duke of the kingdom of Pendragon, Duke Disem, you are the one who attacked one of my knights yesterday" says the duke. " Duke....DUKE, what does the duke want with me" says Atlas, as he takes a moment to realise who this man is" enough chitchat, come down to the hall when you are ready, don't worry the maid outside your door will escort you to the hall" says the duke. Atlas thinks to himself about what's going on, even though he is confused, he complies as he realises that this is better than prison. Both Atlas and the Duke arrive at the table and after a few minutes the duke speaks " look I will just say this loud and clear who are you" says the duke, " who am I?" says Atlas, " umm....my name is Atlas and I am from the peasant region" says Atlas. " No.... that's not what I meant, do you not know what you possess" says the duke, "Possess.....?" Says Atlas in utter shock. TO BE CONTINUED.
