(Ash, age-4)

Another trading centre..anywho

I was walking behind my parents as a little one does

I get ash in my eye as I go to rub it my mother ripe my hand away from my face

"Don't touch your face you'll smear off the makeup" she said as she grabbed a sponge and aggressively it my face

"Ow" I whine

"It's suppose to hurt" she said as he looked at me then a tingling feeling as on my cheek as my head turned

"I would do more but I can wreck your handsome face" my mother says as she crouches down

"That just mean I love you, I want to make sure your handsome " she says as I nod, made sense- exempt for the handsome part was girls suppose to get boys compliments

"Good now let's get going- no touching your face" she says as I nod as she grabs my wrist and keeps walking

I look at my fingers to see there turning red from the grip

Soon she take her hand off and wipes it on her dress as I look around

There was a lot of piglins but no piglin brutes- my kind

I look around till I see something shiny

I stop as I stare at it

After a while I feel another smack

"We talked about this blaz!" ...that's not my name

"Darling don't mess up his face" my father said as I look down, I'm a girl

"Come on Blaz we don't want to be late" my mother said as we starting walking

I turned back to the yellow shiny object as I saw more

I walked over to the stand as I picked a piece up and looked at it

"Hey kid, where's your parents" the seller said

"There waiting for me" I say as I look up for a brief moment before setting the yellow gem down

"Do you know what that is"

"No sir" I say as he smiles

"It's gold, a lot of gentlemen like you guy it to give to there ladies" the seller said

"Your voice is a bit high pitched for a boy" he said

"Comes from my parents..." I say as I look behind me to see an angry man walk toward me

"That's your father" the seller said

"Yes it is" I say looking back to the gold

"Come with me son" the seller said as I went to go follow him getting the pants on my suit dirty

"You messed up your hair" my father said grabbing my arm pulling me back to him

He moved my hair so it was all neatly brushed back, but I just shakes my head and it all goes back to the way I like

"Your mothers worried let's get back" my father said as we met up with my mother

She smacks my face as my eyes start to tear up

"One tear and I'll do worse" she says as I hold in the tears

"I'm trying to protect you" my mother says as I nod and gently wipe my eyes

"Now let's go" she said as she reached for my Bhangra but I pulled away

"What did you just do?..do you want someone to take you away from me" she said as I shake my head and hold her hand

Soon we walk till there's piglins every inch

We walk out way through  as we make it to a stand where we get brought to a stage with curtains covering the view

I was waiting for the curtains to open when I smelt something...mental almost

I walked over to where I smelt it and saw gold

I sneak out and go to the gold as I see more and more on the ground

I go around picking up as much as I can carry before I see a giant pile far away- just a cliff down

I run towards it as it felt like I wasn't in control

I closed my eyes then opened it again to see the pile of gold

I take as much as I can, shoving it into my pockets and clothes

I kept finding more and running

That's all I can remember
