Kingdom of Hope

It was late 1996 and it was fall. Beautiful leaves falling everywhere as the wind blew them off. Calabria is such a beautiful place all year long. The place was filled with friendly ogres and only 1 special human. His name was Aiden Rodriguez, the only human that lived with the ogres. Aiden was found by ogres they thought he was abandoned by his parents. They were confused and had no idea what to do with the thing. Since Aiden was human the ogres thought that he was harmful and they planned on killing him at the moment. Luckily, before they killed him, a female ogre told them to stop and give the boy a chance " He's just a baby" said the female ogre. The male ogres didn't agree at first, but after all they thought that the kid could be helpful.

As Aiden got older they became nicer to him. Aiden was very happy to be with them and he didn't care if they weren't the same because all that mattered to him was love. There was a very special ogre named arg, he was the nicest and most caring with Aiden. Aiden felt the same about Arg he felt safer and comfortable. Both of them did everything together like hunting, climbing, and exploring different parts of where they lived. Soon enough the female ogre that saved him and her ogre husband became Aiden's parents. He was so excited to know that they felt that way for him. He never thought that they would ever get along so well. They treated him so good and made him feel happier than ever when they were together. He didn't even ask or worry about his human parents because he didn't want anything to do with him since he found out they abandoned him. He had all the love he needed with his new family. When Aiden was 14 his family gave him the decision of looking for his real parents at that moment, Aiden got mad because he thought that they didn't want him anymore so he left running out of their way.

Aiden returned the next day by noon because he thought that he took it too far and that he should apologize for running off the way he did. While he was out other humans saw him and noticed that he looked like he was homeless because the only thing that covered him was a rag. The woman started to follow him secretly to see where he was going. When she found where he was staying she was shocked and thought that the ogres were dangerous. Aides and his family had no idea that she saw them. They did the usual everyday for two weeks. One day the ogres could smell something they'd never smelled in 14 years. They were worried because they thought there might be someone out there trying to hurt them. Later that day Aiden's human mom appeared with 30 other humans. It was late 1996 and it was fall.

When he was about 9 he learned how to hunt and search for his own food. He learned to do everything by himself. Although he hated his real family for what he did he thought of them sometimes and wondered what it would be like if he lived with them, but after a few minutes of thinking he would remember the harsh thing they did.

Aiden, as he was walking down the quiet forest of his people, was hit in the head. Everything went dark and all he could hear are loud footsteps walking upstairs. Aiden finally heard the footsteps get quiet and he opened his eyes until he found out he was sitting on a chair inside a cell. A man waiting outside the cell introduces the place he is in the town of humans. Aiden, confused and scared, asked a question in a stuttering voice. "Who are you?",the man then got closed to the cell and responded to Aiden,"I am your brother, Carl, my parents lost you in a war many years ago against the Ogres". "We have been searching for you ever since we evacuated from our old home". Aiden in shock had no respond to Carl's answer. In the cell there was a moment of silence between the two brothers. Carl decides to open the cell and let him go, but he asked Aiden where the Ogres were at. "We are not going to hurt you our main enemies are the Ogres.We as a society decided that we need to get rid of them." Aiden decide to stay quiet and had the opportunity to punch his brother,he did. The sound of the punch echoed around the cell and Aiden fled out of the cell. As he ran he saw and open door so he decided to go to it. Once Aiden was out he saw that he was inside the small town of the humans and was amazed with what the civilization was like. He then went to head to the front entrance of the village.

As Aiden was heading to the entrance his brother and four other knights were running after him in order to get the answer he wanted. Aiden and the others were running through the people pushing and shoving, yelling, and breathing heavily. Finally, Aiden was out of the village, but suddenly something happened. His mother’s griffin came down upon Aiden, deciding to help him. Carl and the knights finally run out of the village and see the huge griffen that Aiden was riding. The bright brown griffin breathed fire heavily toward Carl and his backup and the fire circle around them lifting up into a bright red rose. As Carl decided go past the fire to attack the huge bird, Aiden and his new friend fly away and head for the small village of his family. Carl looked up furious that he had let the beast go and talking his brother, but what Carl noticed was that the griffin was dropping feathers. "Call the others!," Carl shouted. "We need to follow this trail of feathers. I believe it is going to lead us to the Ogres."

Aiden and the griffin headed to the small forest of the Ogres as fast as they could. Finally, Aiden made it to the forest and need to speak to Arg. He went all over the village to find Arg until he saw him at the grave of his mother. He sat next to her, silent as he dropped a handful of flowers. Aiden then went up to Arg and spoke with him. "Arg, our people are in danger. The humans want to destroy the Ogre race", Aiden spoke frighten. "What do you mean, what happened,” Arg replied curiously.
