Pond, Wasteland
horse
peasant
I am a peasant who has always been poor. I have never really liked my life. I work hard every day and was born into being in debt to the king. I grow crops every year just to have 90 percent of them taken away.
I wish I can do more than serve that greedy king... NAHAHAHA, greedy king? He is such a great man! I am his personal horse. I grow my crops every year to have 90 percent taken away from me. But there must be a reason for that? We should live to give the King what ever he desires. He lets us live in his Kingdom! I live in the outskirts of the kingdom, I receive no aid from the king or his kingdom... Well that does indeed sound like a bad situation, not worse than the one we are in now though. This pond is disgusting!  This is the closest water source I have. I drink here everyday.... You drink here? The pond smells of the dead! Look there are even dead things floating around. I am afraid I will never get the smell out of my long mane. I must if I wish to survive... There must be another source of water somewhere, I am certain this isn't the healthiest. This is the best I could find. I have been searching for years... Well, I guess you have to do with and without sometime. I get the freshest water from the king in the castles stables.
