*Authors Note: This is a piece of writing that shows the main cause and affect events that happened in FORGE.*
Every action you make has an effect on future events. Most of the time, your actions turn on you, you do something that later puts you in a situation that isn’t going to be a fun time. Of course, everything ties together all the way back to your choice that started the whole mess. Most of the time, it makes you think, was it worth it? For Curzon, from forge, it was.
It all started with running away. Which is always a risky decision, because no matter how far you run, there is always that chance of getting caught. Curzon and his friend Isabel are both slaves for the same person, and would do anything not to be. So they decide to run away together. Along the road, they found some bumps, and found out both of them have different destinations they want to reach. Which is something that should have been spoken about before they actually went for it, and dropped everything and left.
While Isabel went her way, Curzon headed the direction in which they were going to begin with. Isabel chose to go to the city where her and her sister got seperated, but Curzon disagreed completely with her. Saying that is where their master woud look first, an obvious give away. So they had a goodbye that didn't end so well, and went their seperate ways. Down his path he heard gunshots, being curious he followed the noise. He saw a boy around his age, furiously trying to beat a British redcoat to loading and shooting a gun first. Curzon knew the choice he was about to make could go two ways, 1.) He could throw the rock and miss completely, turning the attention to him and risking his life, not only the boys. Or 2.) He could hit the redcoat where intended and save a fellow American.
Curzon took his chances and threw the rock anyway, hitting his target in the head. The boy thanked him, and thinking he was a soldier guided him to the fort. Curzon of course went with it, thinking it would be very difficult for his master to find him here. Going fort to fort, always on the move. Unfourtanetly, there was one soldier in particular that was very on edge with Curzon. Racism is everywhere, no matter where you go you will always find someone against a certain race, especially during the Revolutionary War, which is the time period this story is placed in. So when he joined the fight, he was not very surprised that soldier who treated him with disrespect because of his skin color.
Not only did his arguments with this man affect him, but the soldiers around him. They had to work with these men every day, morning to night, while they hated each other. The tenseness of the conversations would make the other soldiers feel uncomfortable, knowing a fight could break out at any moment. Which goes to prove that whatever Curzon says or does, does not ony affect him, but the others involved in the situation as well. Sometimes people need to think before they speak.
