    A long time ago, there was a great nation which aggrandized through peace and prosperity. In fact, they had not encountered any foes for a great time, only dealing with amorphous invaders who were quickly taken care of.

My parents hurriedly loaded their luggage into the van as I rushed around the house gathering last minute necessities. I dashed downstairs to my room and gathered my coat and my duffel bag, and glanced at my dresser making sure I was leaving nothing behind and all the rush seemed to disappear.
