Ninja Opener

The day that I was born was, perhaps, the most beautiful day in all of Scotland. Just moments after my birth, the sun peeked over the horizon, exposing the beauty of my country, covered by a sparkling mist which made it more magical than ever. Many said that just as the whole of Scotland was shrouded in mist, so God would cover and shield me all my life. I never believed that for almost sixteen years, until I had no choice but to believe it.
Hours after the mist had dissipated, Lord Brenden, a close friend of my parents, made a special visit to see me. My birth was a surprise, not only to the whole of Scotland, but to my parents as well. You see, I have older twin brothers, Ian and James, who were married with children of their own by the time I was born. No one except my parents and twin brothers knew I was coming, so Lord Brenden's visit was quite a surprise.
Lord Brenden brought with him an unusual request of my parents regarding me - that they train me to be Queen. The way that our monarchical system in Scotland works is that when Father passed away, Ian would be King. After Ian, his son, Lachlan, was the next in line. After Lachlan, was my brother James and then his son, Eoin. I was fifth in line for the throne. The possibility that I would rule was highly unlikely. Nonetheless, my parents agreed.

Mastermind Opening

Here is some of his story.

He watched the two bodies fall to the ground. As he knelt beside them, he thought of his father's infectious laughter, the laughter he would never hear again. He thought of his mother's sweet, sensitive smile, the smile that would never again comfort him. His thoughts turned to the men who had come. They were no different than anyone else who had come in. They had gotten in an argument with his parents over something. His three year old tried to comprehend what the men had asked his parents. What had they said?? Now, as he looked at his parents, lying there in the dust, he remembered. They was wanted his parents to recount. His parents knew how to count, didn't they??? As his tears fell to the ground, wondering why they hadn't, he heard the sound, the sound would come to fear: the cock of a gun.

"Noooooooooooo!!!" Shaking and sweating, Morat sat straight up. He looked around him, the stench of decaying flesh, rotting garbage, and feces reminded him almost instantly where he was: Deadman's Alley. Noticing that no one was paying any attention to him, he stood up and walked to the street, if you could call it that. The sun was just barely coming up, and already the marketplace was getting busy.
