 Spring 1



Spring was finally here. The deer were all over my lot so I set out some traps for them. I was happy to say I finally caught on after some trail and error. After months of not eating well I would finally be eating something fat and good. 



With spring also came unfrozen pond water. I made a mean fish soup and had a taste for it but my plans were kaput when instead of a fish I caught a man. He had fallen in the pond early this morning and had been unable to get out. 



I brought him back to my cabin to nurse his foot. 

I found out he was only 15 years old and much like my story his family had been slaughtered as well. 


"I'm sorry that happen to you Sterling. You are welcome here for as long as you like, I could use the help and company." 
"Thank you Ms. Gang. I won't be a burden on you I promise."

This was the start of my settlement of sorts. Sure it was just me and Sterling but I hoped one day we could have a bustling town. Much like the kingdom I grew up in.

 Winter 1



"I caught you, you little rut."
For months a sneaky fox had been killing off my hogs. I was now down to 1 sow and honestly I didn't have the items to trade for another one. It was something I would just have to give up and rely on my traps to provide food. The sly fox looked up at me, teeth barring waiting for me to make a wrong move. 

Normally I let the foxes go, they were too skinny to eat but with all my hogs gone I would need it to survive the winter. 

A quick blow to the head was all it took to kill the fox, I was surprised at the meat it did have. I would have food for at least a month. With my supply that I had that meant I had enough for winters end. I was over joyed. 




Life out here was lonely but I had found a companion in a small cat I named Kobe. He hung around my lot often, I assume looking for warmth. It was getting colder by the day out here and though I didn't have many clothes on I was regretting it dearly. 

I only had two outfits, the one from my old home, the kingdom, that was made for fall weather and another the natives made me for the summer. I wasn't good enough to make my own clothes yet and my dress was dirty with hog blood. 

Kobe walks up to me after I kill the fox, probably looking for a snack. He normally took care of all the problems I had with pest around the lot and in exchange I fed him snacks or let him stay in the house where it was warm. 




By the second month of winter he had become a full time resident of my home. For that I was grateful. I guess it was true what they said about cats picking you not them. Kobe liked me well enough I suppose. He wasn't an overly affectionate animal but he helped around big time. 

The birds of this foreign land often attacked my corn fields but with Kobe around killing them off I had more corn for myself and Kobe. 


 

The last of my hog went up in flames when my stove caught fire. I couldn't believe this was happening. My rations were already small and now I would have to go to bed hungry. I couldn't make these kinds of mistakes if I wanted to make it out here. Tears wouldn't help though.

Fall 1

 

I was nothing but a peasant girl when my whole family was killed. Everyone in the kingdom was slaughtered. Lain like cattle.. I was off in the woods when it happened. I still can't wrap my brain around it.
Now here I am, in an unknown land. I finally felt safe enough to put down roots. I have a small cabin and some bare necessities but I felt safe. 



My family, we were seamstress. I was only 16 when they were killed so I wasn't as good as my mother and gran but I tried. I practiced everyday. So far, I could make potholders which wasn't bad in the grand scheme of things. I made a lot of smoked meat and burned through potholders like you wouldn't believe. 



Though my kingdom was taken down when I was 16, I was now a full fledged woman. I was 18 years old today. Crazy to think about all the things I was suppose to be doing today. I was to be married in just 2 weeks to the shop keepers son, Alac but I guess that was no more. 

I, instead, sat down to a formal dinner by myself. Sausage and mush. I killed one of my hogs for this meal and I was going to enjoy it no matter what. 




On my long journey here I had gotten sick and some Natives had taken me in. They were a beautifully nice group of people who after healing me, taught me many different things to help me survive.. One of those things was bait and trap. My family had always hunted for the animals, sometimes sending parties out for 3 or 4 days at a time. It was always a scary time because sometimes there were men that didn't come back.



Winter was fast approaching and the last of the wanders would be leaving. My food was low and I had to make some more baskets to trade for goods. My fingers bleed from the amount of baskets I had made today but I didn't care. If I didn't get the seeds I needed I wouldn't last through the winter and my families legacy would be done. 

Ooooh, how yall like my story? Its a legacy but with mcc bits in it... I need a break from my 102 babies.. Honestly I love it and will probably play some more tonight but I NEED my rotational gameplay, rules, and hardships LOL. I don't know how heavy I'll get with the story and if it annoys me or bores me I'll switch it up to game play again but for now I am happy with it..

Sometime this year I started a realistic neighborhood.. I named it Goldcrest and I am working on making it better. For those that don't know a realistic neighborhood is basically sims with ages, pay taxes, have actual death days, etc. It strives to make the sims as realistic as possible.

Since I started this on Blogger I will link what I have written on this.. Everything else will then be written up here. ♥
