so due to wanting to learn something new and reading XKCD....I have started to learn Python, so far it's easier than the Java I learned and forgot from high school.

The best advice I can give you at this point, is to avoid falling into the trap of "vigorous language advocacy". Each and every one of them is terrible, each in their own special way.
C...plus plus is terrible with syntax, you C is terrible for expression; C Sharp cannot cut its way through dense data, Java is buried in poor abstraction; Python cannot limbo (walk), BASIC really is; Perl will drive you insane, Regex is the next bus over; ANTLR is for when you are already crazy, Brain(funge) will help you drive others; Go, what is that anyway?, Rust will straightjacket your code; D breaks syntax (and really is not quite as/terrible as C...plus plus is terrible with syntax...
I exaggerate, but also highlight. Good night, folks, and tip your waiter/ress; they brought the rotten fruit.

I have hit writer's block here's what I have so far
[sblock]Kellina looked around the cell with her hazel eyes wondering what would be happening to her. It wasn’t as if she had planned to twist her ankle, but her informer had failed to mention the cat.
“She’s down this way sir. “ Came one of the guard’s voices as two guards came to her cell trailed by a third person.
“Hello father.” She said looking at the third person.
The guards’ eyes went wide upon hearing her speak. It was clear by their expressions that they hadn’t expected the prisoner to know the sub-minister for security.
“Hello, Kellina.” He responded sounding a bit worn out, he then looked at the two guards before speaking again.
“You may leave us, I doubt I will have any trouble.”
The guards wisely nodded and headed back the way they had come.
“How did you know I was here?” she asked with an edge to her voice.
“I have my ways.” He answered looking back at her with a cold stare.
“So, why are you here, unless it’s just to say how disappointed you are in me again?”
“No, this time I came here on behalf of your uncle the king.”
Her eyes went wide, as far as she knew the king hadn’t even acknowledged her existence.
“Yes, he does know that you are alive.” He answered seeing the look on her face.
“Then what does he want with me?”
“He would like to make you an offer, in return for your services: You’ll be granted a full pardon along with a hefty sum of gold.”
“I’m guessing this isn’t an official offer?” She asked skeptically folding her arms over her chest.
“Due to the nature of the require services, no it can’t be done in the open.”
“Then why me?”
“Only a few inside the family know of your connection and existence. Since the job will deal with those who not family, it won’t matter one bit. There’s also the matter of your abilities.”[/sblock]

Escaped, became an interstellar civilization, went with wormhole FTL and beam ships because that is the cheesiest choice, became a hive-mind with the purge aliens ethos, got into a conflict with invaders from outside reality, and finally were almost entirely destroyed after making one deal with a being of pure psychic power too many.
