Stand Alone (Nathan's Story Part II)

Once upon a time there was a peasant named Nathan....blah blah blah, if you guys don't know the beginning story I refer you to http://nathanshaveninvasion.blogspot.com/2013/05/nathans-story.html.

Anyway so Nathan and the Queen are still having some problems. Mainly that Nathan was formerly a girl and most of the towns folk don't like it, or at least they don't acknowledge it. You see Nathan was forced to put it on a rock similar to the stele "finger" of Hammurabi's Code, so that all the towns folk could see it. Nathan was forced to do it because it seemed as though nobody was really getting that he was different, even though he tried really hard to make it very plain, and obvious. However the Queen didn't really like that at all. She thought that the towns folk needed an apologize and an immediate retraction of the statement until Nathan could formally tell the towns folk of his decisions. Now Nathan thought it was a idiotic idea since all he really did was put his true self on the line, so all the confusion would be cleared up, and he didn't have to pretend anymore. Nathan really wanted to know that, although he had announced his alternate persona to everybody, most people still ignored his seemingly simple request, or even worse, refused to acknowledge him at all. The Queen pointed out that because Nathan was living with the King, that the towns folk didn't, and wouldn't respect his choice because he didn't have private conversations with anybody. Nathan thought that the Queen was being unreasonable because if the towns folk hadn't caught on by then, than shouldn't they just take the news in stride and not continue to knock Nathan down. The Queen also pointed out that Nathan needed his family to support him, and if they didn't accept his choice, then he would just have to suck it up and deal. Now Nathan had always been one for fairness and acceptance, but the Queen was not like that. Nathan, up until a few months ago, when the witch doctors noticed that he wasn't okay, had always stood alone (save for a few people here and there, particularly Sir. Alex Solla and his clan of Wonderful People, along with Robin McColley and The Seido Karate Clan.) But for the Queen to try to say that she had his back really irked Nathan because that was far from true. You see when the towns folk would talk smack about Nathan, the Queen wouldn't respond. But when people talked smack about anybody (including  the Queen and the Dragon) he would climb down their throat. To Nathan family went like this "I can talk smack about you, but nobody else can." Because family is supposed to have your back right? Well Nathan thought that was true and still sort of does. But still Nathan stands alone, and when someone knocks him down he will pick himself back up, Nathan is no longer a quitter. And now until forever, Nathan will stand up for what is right.
