**News of the Kingdom: Second news edition of 1040** Coming from not-so-normal stories: The Strange Man //By: Aruba Tariq//

The door creaked as he opened it. Behind him, the brilliant flash of lightning illuminated the sky and thunder filled it with signs of magnificence. He walked slowly, as if he was hurt from some kind of freak accident. He looked around the room with suspicious green eyes. As he laid his eyes on someone, it seemed as though he was reading the person's inner most thoughts. His face was almost hidden underneath his hood, and a black cat accompanied him. From what the people could see the man had a mole on his chin and some hair on his face, but had lips of a woman, and delicate fingers. He went up to the counter, and spoke in a crisp voice to the bartender: "You shall make the biggest mistake of your life for you do not have common sense, and you shall regret it." The bartender replied: "Are you just going to tel me about my future or are you going to ask for something to drink, //sir//?" The "man" snapped his fingers and the bartender was thrown outside the building in the deadly rain. The "man" finally addressed the bartender in an arrogant manner: "Did I not warn you? I am one of the witches who delivered King Macbeth the legendary prophecies. And for future reference, I am a women not a man."

**News of the Kingdom: Second news edition of 1040** Sweno, the King of Norway is defeated! //By: Aruba Tariq//

It is time for celebration, for the noble Macbeth has defeated the traitor (the thane of Cawdor) as well as the king of Norway. The king of Norway arrived in Fife, and tried to spread terror within people living there. Eyewitnesses say that the king of Norway looked very close to victory that is until Macbeth arrived. Another eyewitness, who refused to give us his name, said "The king of Norway looked very worried when Macbeth challenged him, because Macbeth had already killed Macdonwald in the earlier battle." Insiders say that the king of Norway was literally biting his nails when he sensed that his doom was near for he was worried about his fate, which lied in the hands of his enemy (and our beloved) king of Scotland and the noble Macbeth. After his defeat, King of Norway wanted a treaty. And so, it was decided that the king of Norway would not be allowed to bury his men, until he paid ten thousand dollars at Saint Colme's Inch (an island in the North Sea between Norway and Scotland). When the king of Norway received the news of this treaty, he hesitantly agreed to it. Insiders report that after he accepted the treaty, he looked up at the sky and said: "I hope that you, king of Scotland, never get to enjoy the happiness of this victory, for you have not allowed the burial of the men who died defending their country. I hope that you, Macbeth, is the cause of your king's unhappiness, for you are the reason for the death of the men of Norway." So, while you are celebrating our splendid victory, I invite you to think about the wishes of king of Norway. What will happen to our fair country, if the wishes of king of Norway were to come true? Will our fair country continue to prosper and remain victorious and peaceful, if the wishes of king of Norway were to come true? I guess we will just have to face the future and find out for ourselves.

Don't forget to look for the next edition of "News of the Kingdom" for your favorite reporter, Aruba Tariq, provides a one on one interview of Macbeth and all the juicy inside stories.

 * Scotland has been saved from the evil tyrant, Macbeth. The virtuous Noblemen, Macduff, ended his life in a great battle at Dunsinane hill. At this battle the Noblemen of Scotland joined forces with many English men. Our country has officially regained its freedom. **
 * The son of late King Duncan, Malcolm, is being cleared of all suspicion of murdering his father. He is now being prepped to take over the country as the rightful heir to the throne. With guidance from our honest and true noblemen, Malcolm will lead Scotland to a bring future. **
 * There have also been several reports that Macbeth acted under prophecies given to him by witches. This only proves how foolish and crazy Macbeth was. It's a tragedy to know how loyal and great Macbeth once was and then to know how sinister he became. His only cure for this evil was death. After these tragic events, it is certain that Scotland will regain its former glory **

“Tragedy Struck!”

The King is dead! He was found in the home of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The only evidence points to the guards of King Duncan. They were found laying by the King, with daggers drenched in the King’s own blood! The guards, already murdered, are to blame.

R.I.P. the King.

In other words, Macbeth will now be king.

 Victoria Ryder: __Breaking News__! Macbeth has been murdered! You all may be asking, "How did this happen? Well I'll sum it all up for you. I knew Macbeth was up to no good, and I could see he was changing. So, I decided to create an army with Malcolm, the heir to the thrown. I went to find Malcolm and when I did, we had a little heart to heart. We talked on how unfit Macbeth was to be king and how Malcolm would be as king. While we were talking, I sensed something off about Malcolm, I could tell he didn't trust me. So, Malcolm put me through a test to measure my trust and I must have passed because Malcolm and his followers joined me to fight. Soon enough we were off to war, and I wanted revenge for the death of family, so I went to kill Macbeth. In the end, I slayed the "heroic" Macbeth and the make his death even more extreme I cut off his head! No longer will we have a corrupt king. All Hail King Malcolm.

THE SCOTLAND PRESS Doug White (Personal Choice) All Hail Macbeth!

Yesterday we crowned new king of Scotland. Macbeth, worthy general, thane, and nobleman to deceased King Duncan, was given the crown. The higher-ups found no other man as worthy of the position as Macbeth. Macbeth, who recently led the Scottish army to victory over Norway, seemed humbled by the prestige, yet confident. “Tis a shame that Duncan is no longer at the helm. Scotland was in great hands before his life was unjustly taken. Nevertheless, this cannot be a time of mourning for me, as I must continue to lead this great nation to prosperity,” commented Macbeth. Macbeth possesses all the qualities necessary to be a successful leader: Honor, dignity, courage, and desire. If Scotland takes on the true personality of Macbeth, this land could make some serious advances.
