Prolouge
Death...destruction...terror. It made fear run through my veins in a havoc, forcing me to escape into safety. My pace never stopped or ceased, it continued no matter how tired, how painful, how numb I feel, it was my only option. Everywhere in my beloved home town and kingdom, burned to the ground by ravage flames, crushed by the voracious demons, fellow townspeople being mauled to pieces or just a pile of flesh. None of these tragic fates I will ever fall for. Just thinking about it weakened my will to go on, believing there was no hope for me.
Then I remember about...about Madelina, the princess of the kingdom and my only close friend. Her pain stricken face covered in dust, blood, and tears. Her voice whispered the words that encouraged me to go on and fulfill my duty. "Don't worry about me...live on...don't die now...": those were her final words to me...before she cried out in agony upon being torn apart into shreds by the savage demons. Remembering her final words, her final wish, I didn't want to throw it all away. I ran faster than ever, ignoring everything else or I will face my end.
Soon before I knew it, I made it to safety in the forest once far enough. I sat down next to a large rock, and tried to regain the strength that I used to get here. My breaths of relief were steady and quiet, I didn't want to draw attention to myself and then die. The images of everything that happened that led to this: the appointing ceremony, my final conversation to Madelina, the destruction of the kingdom, Madelina's death, and then now. I made a tight fist, I had to do something to reverse all of this. I knew it was my job as the appointed to go and do what is right...but how can I? I'm just a girl that should be in elementary school if I didn't have all of that treatment as royalty in the past. Before I knew it, tears forced its way out of my eyes, dripping down from my face. It was my only time of peace, but it was made short.
Like a spark of electricity out of control, my back felt a fatal, paralyzing shock that made me collapse onto the cold ground of dirt and grass. My vision was beginning to fail and my hearing grew to the point where all sounds were muffled. Despite my blurry eyesight, I saw two figures standing over me, giving it away that these two attacked me. Another shock sparked at my left arm, I gasped in agony and felt warm blood bleed out of my left arm slowly. One moment, just one moment, I swore I could clearly see who these two were, and felt some familiarity in them.
I saw the more humanoid figure move it's mouth, speaking something rather inaudible for me to hear due to muffled hearing. The sly smirk on the humanoid figure's face gave me bad warnings on what was going to happened. Then...then I saw no more but darkness.
A/N: Well that was a short prolouge. Maybe I should explain this a bit clearer to those who didn't get what was going on.
The character who is in first-person view is a girl, about 10 years old, and I'm not revealing the name yet. She recalls the appointing ceremony she was in before all the destruction happens, which kills her friend Madelina during all of the havoc. The girl goes into the forest and rests there until two people she couldn't see that well from her poor eyesight after being attacked twice gets knocked out.
