The Prelude
The night was cold and the scent of smoke clung unto the air. People were screaming, crying...dying. A white haired boy cuts through the crowd with speed as a young red haired lad clung unto his hand for safety-for comfort.
The white haired boy turns around and watches as his precious homeland started to burn down into ashes. He cringes and looks away from the gruesome image but it was no use. Even with his eyes closed, he could still hear the screams...the endless agonizing screams.
"Mama...Papa..."
The white haired boy turns to the young red haired lad clinging to his hand. He didn't turn away, he just kept on looking on.
The white haired boy grits his teeth as he quickly covers the red head's eyes with his hand.
"Don't look!" He shouts. But he already saw it all. The red head starts to shiver lightly before big fat tears rolled down his chubby face.
"T-They're dead..." He hiccups. "I couldn't do...anything."
The white haired boy bites his lips tightly, drawing blood. He pulls his hand away from the red haired as he brings him into a tight hug.
"It'll be okay," He soothes as the red haired continued to sob. "I'll protect you. We'll go to a different place. We'll build a new castle. I'll conquer the land of Millefiore and you will be safe there. We'll be safe there."
The red haired looks up with hope and innocence lingering in those big bright forest green eyes of his.
"D-Do you promise?" He asks weakly.
The white haired smiles. "I would never lie to you,"
He closes in and gives a small kiss on the red heads forehead. He smiles and pulls them both away from the destruction, the pain, and the past. Towards a better future...for both of them.
"My Princess."
