Running to find love
Prologue
My name is Lily Evans; I am the daughter of William and Sapphire Evans. My parents rule over all of the eastern mountains. They ruled the land well, at least until my mother died and left my father in a depression. Our country started to fail and Tom Riddle, my father's advisor suggested to him that he find a woman to marry to give him an heir to the throne. My father thought about it for weeks.
On my 18th birthday my father announced that he had found a person to help him rule the kingdom and bring it up to its former glory. He then called me up onto the stage beside him.
"I present to you my bride to be, Lily Evans," all conversation stopped once people heard what he said. Everybody stopped moving and just gaped at him. My legs buckled and I would've fallen if one of the dukes behind me hadn't caught me.
"Rethink this, please! This is terrible!!" one of the lords yelled from the back of the room.
"Father, reconsider! What would mother have said to your choice?" All I got to show that her father had heard me was a stern look and narrowed eyes. At that moment I knew I had to get away, escape from my father and flee to the Western Lands, the lands of Nathaniel Potter.
Later that night I met with my father to give him my demands for the wedding. I told him that if I was going to marry him I would need five gifts; a dress made of rubies that sparkled like the setting sun, a dress made of sapphires that glistened like the sea, a dress made of diamonds that twinkled like the stars in a night sky and a lily that would never die. I told him to get me those four gifts and I would tell him my last request.

One week later I had the dresses and the lily and her fifth request had been given. I had asked for a cloak made of fake fur similar to that of a wolf's fur.
My plan consisted of an escape route, and what I was going to do when I got to the Western lands, but I still had no way to carry my things. That was solved when Lorelei, my mother favorite among the servants came up to me one night and handed me a bag that, she said, would get no heavier or larger, no matter what was placed into it. She gave me a tearful goodbye and wished me a safe journey, and begged me to stay safe.
The night before the wedding came and I knew that if I was ever going to be free I had to leave tonight. I covered my face with ash from the fire and snuck out of the castle and towards my freedom.
That's where the real story starts.
