In the year of our lord 1348, People are sick everywhere, we don’t know what is causing this, but everybody believed it was a punishment from God. Some of us lost our faith in the Church. People are dying everywhere. on the streets, in their homes. Kings and nobles fled. King Ralph fled to his castle high in the mountains, away from everybody. The truth was the Mongols. You see, they are people on horseback. They start riding horses at the age of 3. Genghis Khan was their leader. Over 21 years, their empire has spread out further than Rome had in centuries. Black Death was in Asia for years, and over time, the people become immune to it. Now it was our turn. |
Brought over through trading on the Silk Road, this disease caused massacre of people. Sooner or later, the plague would enter our manor. My brother was infected. He was lying in bed with a wet cloth over his head. Buckets of partially digested food was everywhere. big bulges (Buboes) were growing out everywhere on his body. Third day was when I decided that I could stay no longer. My family and I fled to Prince Peters manor, hoping that we would be safe, but the plague traveled with us, and in a few days, I was in terrible pain. So were half the people on the manor. |
What was strange was that God had shown mercy for me. Out of hundreds of thousands of people that were dead, I survived. Feudalism falls. Peasants eventually own their own land. The style of art changed since people now see what death truly is. There are these paintings of skeletons dancing in the darkest of nights. The paintings showed that no matter high powerful you are, you'll still end up dead. This is called Death Macabre. I don't know where I'll be next. I've lived through so much. This age is collapsing, but another one will eventually rise. It is nature. |
