"Lebrio's Story.."Change"" by mrsinvicta
How do you make progress in a world that doesn’t change? You don’t. Every now and then, though, I catch myself thinking about what my life would be like in a different world; one where progress hasn’t been declared an enemy of the people and locked away out of sight and — most people’s — minds.
A world where I could change my destiny, or fate some call it.
I am a terrible fisherman. I know this, my Mother knew this, everyone knows this.
I don’t like water, I get seasick and I’m impatient. My market stall always has the thinnest offerings — unless the water had been uncharacteristically calm that day. Yet I am a fisherman by trade and will be one until the day I grow old just like my brother. That’s what it’s like on the islands, where you are no more than what you were born to be.
Even the royals have no say in the matter.
