    From. here we begun with a story, it's about my life, aboutmy wishes, about my dreams, you can say it's about everything youwant to know it. We can't forget the day when we looking for theother side from our life, our future and our destiny. It's a goodtimesI write this from day to day, but I trust that before I come to the end of it, Imay be able to say that the light shines, at last, through our clouds. We are held here

    with no clear means of making our escape, and bitterly we chafe against it. Yet, I can

    well imagine that the day may come when we may be glad that we were kept, against

    our will, to see something more of the wonders of this singular place, and of the

    creatures who inhabit it

    Chapter 1: The Soldier.

    SATURDAY morning was come, and all the winter world was bright and

    fresh, and brimming with life and leafs started to grow up. There was a song in every

    heart; and if the heart was young, the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in

    every face and a spring in every step. The locust-trees were in bloom and the

    fragrance of the blossoms filled the air. London suburb, beyond the city and above it,

    was green with vegetation and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land,

    dreamy, reposeful, and inviting.

    On the 24th december 1517, RYAN was born in a poor familycontain the father (Max), the mother (Mary) and his sister (Emilie) 3years old .London (England) in this period was had two class, therich and the poor, Ryan's family was from the poor, Max was awoodcutter and Mary work in the palace just like a cleaner. Ryan grewand grew up amid poor to prevent him from completing his study to a higher level,

    simply four years of study, so that only his father could not pay for the study, which

    led to deny Ryan, and after that Ryan has worked with his father in the forest. They

    are like friends go together and come together and speaking on the road, in the

    evening they returned exhausted and taking their dinner then sleep to get ready for

    another day. As for Emily and her mother, Mary they was a long talk with them about

    conditions and employment and... .. .. Women's talk. WELL, ninteen years runalong, and it was well until the autumn of the nineteenth year now

    until Ryan have 19 and his sister 22 years, in this time we startedour story..

    In 1 may 1536 at 8:00 am, Ryan wake up from his sleeping ,his father is in the forest for job , his mother is in the palaceexactely like the last days in her life and his sister is in the town for

    bringing some water from the well, Ryan heard the knock of thedoor; he wash his face quickly and he gone to open the door butafter that happen he heard the voice of the horses then he saidwho's there , they said we are the guards of the king, Ryan openquickly , there is 5 from the guards, one of them spoke and said isyou Ryan ? He said yes i am, the guard said come with us, Ryansurprised and said why ? I didn't anything wrong, the guard said iknow but you must come with us, you passed 19 years so from nowyou are a soldier you must be a soldier, you must carry the weaponfor saving your kingdom, you are a man that rule is signedyesterday by the king, all who have 19 year to 40 must be asoldiers. In this time Ryan gone with the king's guardes and they notleft to him any chance to enter again to the house, they took him tothe garden of the palace with all whose have the legal age of army.The king signed that rule because of the enemies of the kingdomwhich become more than the friends.In the garden there arehundreads conscriptsafter some minutes a guard spoke aloudand said "everybody quiet the king is coming" Silence immediatelyfell on the garden, some seconds the king appear with his son(greek) 24 years and his daughter (Julia) 18 years. After, the kingstarted speaking to the hundreeds conscripts. Ryan was in the first

    range and he was looking to Julia (the king's daughter) wheneverybody looked at the king. Julia was so beautiful. In this time juliasaw that someone is looking to her (he was Ryan) and she said toherself that he is so nice (the truth is yes, Ryan was so so nice, witha blond hair and blue eyes and he was slim, full of fun andintelligence and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness andresolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contendwith danger) and she still looking to him when he still looking toher untill the king has finished talking. After that, the king was gonewith (Greek and Julia). Ryan kept the picture of Julia in his mindbecause he can't forget her, he loved her from the first look (Ryan

    finally fell in love with the king's daughter Julia, he was his first love)

    Over the years the own of ENGLAND KINGDOM was hereditary The Tudor (England's king) period began with an effort to reformand to protect the England crown, in a time when the enemiesbecome more than the friends, when the relationship has brokendown, when the expansion was the best solution to showing your

    force and to scare your enemiesIn this time Ryan become a soldier, but his only wish is to see Julia,without knowing that between him and her is a far road, far dream

    and far wishes Because Ryan was a simple soldier work far ofpalace. (But there is an road which can make Ryan see Julia, it's to

    We will leave Ryan and tells about the palace's life. The Tudorperiod was a dramatic period of England; he played important rolesto transforming England from a comparatively weak Europeanbackwater into a powerful state that in the coming centuries woulddominate much of the world. The period saw London and all ofEngland was rapidly rising in importance amongst Europe'scommercial centres, its many small industries were booming,especially weaving. Trade expanded beyond Western Europe toRussia, the Levant, the Americas to more place in the world. The

    period saw the end of the wars. It was expected periodBut now that can't prevent the change of the things. In the Tudor'slife we found his wife (Diana), Greek, Julia and Ibraham, his mother(Elizabith), then his brother (Henry) with his wife (Sarah) and sons(Jonathan, Rose and Bryan), and his other brother (adam) with hiswife (katherin) and his sons (Izabell, William and Eric), and his sister(Alicia) with his husband (George) and his sons (Anna, Kate, Mary

    and Michael) some descendants of Bryan, Michael and MaryThe palace's rules provide that the sons must marry from the palacelike son and his cousin for the own not be outside of palace... Thesons take their study in the palace.

    The war become near of us

    in the morning of the next day, the king woke up with activity, he's better now, he sent

    for eric, greek and the chief of king's guards, then he asked them about what

    happened, then they said to him all things, for that he sent for his ministers for a

    meeting to discuss about the try murder. It was along meeting, it was very importantmeeting. Because the Norwegian kingdom breached the armistice with this try

    murder. They wanted to kill the Tudor's king to make them busy with his death to

    control the north Ireland with themselves alone. Because the king's Tudor wasn't a

    forgiver about his kingdom matters. So the Norwegian kingdom when he saw that the

    three young men can't kill him and he heard that the king still alive, she sent solidarity

    letter to Tudor to make them assume that the Norwegians haven't a hand in that. Every

    minister in the meeting said his opinion, of them who said that we must stop the

    Norwegians's arrogance with war, and some said that we can't enter in a war in this

    time. The king doesn't say anything, because they not reached to one decision.

    Everybody has a decision which different at the other. He can't entering his kingdom

    to a grand war like this and especially with norwegians, when there are a greatkingdom. Now the best way to the solution is to thinking seriously about it. The

    England kingdom now must show his force and send an alarm to her enemies. some

    ministers suggested an opinion with sending more reinforcing to north ireland contain

    more war's ships, some agreed and others disagreed, the meeting started to burning,

    the voices started to rise, the table started to striking. Eric suggested to developing the

    England's relations with other countries to creating an alliance can make us a great

    force. Greek disagreed with him and he said that we must start now to suggest that to

    the European before the armistice's finish. The king agreed and the ministers too.Theking started to send his ministers, everyone to a country. France, Germany, Spain,

    Italy, Belgium...and more.
