As you might have guessed, Lilanie was once a princess from a distant realm.. a realm somewhere in the 12 dimensions that constitute the universe *think yu-gi-oh! GX*
For reasons still unknown to her, she was banished from the castle she called home and was merely dethroned by her own parents, the king and queen, the ones she thought she could trust... the people she thought would love her since she was their child... at a young age of 5 in the human world.
The plot made by the king on that fateful day was to held a mock outrage inside the castle at midnight, hiring mercenaries to kidnap the princess while she was sleeping and kill her outside the castle's premises.. and so it happened.. Lilanie was forcefully kidnapped *one of them punched her in the stomach when she almost woke up* and the villains also brought the family's heirloom with them, a sword where the soul of a legendary warrior, rumored to be the first king... the one who created the kingdom, sleeps...
When Erisse woke up, he saw that her big sister was not beside him *they always sleep together* he looked for her in her room... when he didn't find her, he searched outside.. there was a commotion going on, and he heard the househelps relaying rumors about the princess's death, murmuring that the princess was brutally murdered. Erisse couldn't believe them and started shouting at them while he was crying.. he ran to look for his mother, who was at the castle's terrace, silently gazing at the beauty of the kingdom.. he asked her with rage what really happened and at the same time telling her why they didn't even care to protect her! the queen knelt down and hugged him tightly while he tried to released himself from her grasp.. the only thing the queen ever said to him was "...sorry." and that made him believe that her big sister was dead...
It was early morning then when the mercenaries reached the end of the kingdom's domain, a vast land of sand greeted them.. while the murderers prepared to conclude the task, Lilanie awaken and was terrified with what she saw! the villains held her firmly while she tried to struggle, it seemed that they're going to rape her first before killing her! she was so in distress then but she couldn't cry... confusion clouded her mind more than fear, she doesn't know why she was there with them and why does her parents didn't do anything to save her... she felt so helpless, she wanted to die then...
Before one of them could molest her, a heavy gust of wind surrounded them.. slashing through the villains with its malevolence, killing them... unbeknown to Lilanie, she was the one casting it! her silent cry was heard by the wind and the elemental protected her from harm...
Vicious blood were scattered everywhere.. she couldn't believe she killed all of them! it was a horrible sight to see for a young girl like her... she stayed still for some time until a shiny object caught her eyes.. it was the hilt of the family's sword! with all the strength she could muster, she tried to carry the heavy blade.. but she really couldn't so she just dragged it...
Finding a couple of useful items from the mercenaries' baggages (water, money, etc.).. she prepared for the start of a new chapter in her life... alone, she will face the brand new terrain of the world outside the castle premises... she never dared to come back since she felt like she was not wanted anymore due to what she experienced that day...
Dragging the sword with both of her hands, she started to walk the path to the unknown... the path of the vast desert which seemed to be endless...
