Rise of Nothing.
She sat down onto the chair, looking out at the many people in front of her who awaited her instructions, and another series of people waiting for her to fail. There were many who wished to see her fall from her reign of the kingdom. Even more of them doubted her ability. And then there were the very very few who believed in her. She thought of what she had been through so far and sighed. "I know...I am not worthy to be a leader. I am not one to pick up a kingdom from shambles. I don't know of the future, or what will happen to this kingdom or me." She began to mumble, but her voice raised from a small mumble to a strong and stern voice. "But, I know one thing for sure. The people may think of they will of me. They may throw rocks at me and treat me as they wish. I will take a stab to the chest if I must. For if someone were to try to assassinate me then that just means I was unable to do my job correctly for everyone." Her voice became that of yelling out to the crowd as she built up her courage. "I will do whatever I can for you all. I will fight in front of the army with the lowest of soldiers. I will lead a charge, not stand out in the back and call out orders. I will not allow a person to starve. I will not stand down. I will not allow this kingdom to fall." She stood up and bowed to the many people in front of her. "In my eyes, we are all equal." She looked up at the crowd, for silence had befallen them. The noise started from the back. A single, loud clap. Another followed, and yet another. The small clapping began to grow and grow, finally into a thunderous applause. Whistles were heard, and even the ones who were hoping for her to fail clapped. She couldn't believe it. One from the lowest of classes was able to climb to the top.
