Prayer of the Princess
Author's note: I did it! My first chapter is finished! Hope you like it!
B.T.W, I don't own a lot of the characters and this story is kinda different from the game AND Edea Lee is not in this at all if I hadn't made that clear.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Princess in Trouble
I was trapped in a dark place. I couldn't see anything. Where am I? I thought to myself. Is this a dream? All of a sudden the room lit up, and I saw people who's faces I couldn't recognize staring back at me. They were all talking at the same time but they weren't moving their mouths. This is getting weird.
"Become my warrior of light," was the last voice I heard speak, a girl. I knew which one it was because she seemed to be the only one moving. She was yelling it, which made things even weirder. She sounded like she was in some sort of trouble. Before I got the chance to say anything, all the other people had disappeared and she was the only one left.
Luckily, I had taken note of what she looked like. She had long, brown hair, brown eyes, and she was wearing what looked like a garb that the vestals wear at the Rite of Awakening. Wait, could she be a vestal? The last thing I remembered was her falling into a pit of darkness.
I woke up to my best friend, Celestia violently shaking me and telling me to get up. "Get up, Charity! Something's wrong!" she shouted. I got up and followed her to the throne room where my father and a few of the kingdom's knights were waiting.
At first I didn't see it, but when I saw it, I didn't know how to react. Those sneaky Eternian Sky Knights have planted an aerial assault on our kingdom. Their airship was getting closer and threatened to hit the palace. Eternia has always had it out for us. I never knew why.
"What have they come for?" I said as calmly as I could. "They've been searching all the kingdoms for the vestal of Wind," said one of the guards standing nearby. "Word is they're headed for Caldisla next," said another. They've been searching for the vestal of Wind? What do they want with her?
I've been pondering things too long. The Sky Knights have already begun their search. Raiding houses, pulling people aside from their everyday lives to ask them if they'd seen her; this is madness and shouldn't be happening to my kingdom.
They must've seen us watching because they started running towards the castle. "Protect the princess," I heard the guards shout as they escorted me out of the room hurriedly. "I'll be fine!" I say "Go help my father." They stopped for a second. "Are you sure, princess? We don't want you to get hurt." "Absolutely positive. Now, go!" I replied and ran out of the throne room.
Where should I go? I think to myself as I run farther away. "I got it! I'll go to my room and get my bow, arrow, and black hood so that way no one knows its me! Brilliant!" I say as I change my course to my room.
Once I'm there, I grab my things and head back out; this time going through the double doors that lead to my balcony, which I jump off of to get to the nearest set of stairs. Bad idea. I tripped on my cape on my way down.
Before I got the chance to regroup, Eternian Archers were waiting for me. "Hey! You there!" they said to me, "Tell us where the vestal is and you won't get hurt," "Why should I? You Eternians are undeserving of my knowledge," I reply "Besides, what do you want with her?" They looked at each other for a second and said, "That's for Eternia to know and for you, Your Majesty, not to find out."
What? How do they know I'm the princess? Now is not the best time to ponder that thought too long because they both readied their bows; threatening to shoot. But, they never got the chance, I pulled out mine and shot them down before they even pulled the string back.
I continued running. I decided that I would try to make it to the woods. Sadly I never got that chance, because I wasn't fast enough and another wave of Eternian Sky Knights kidnapped me and took me to the air ship. The last thing I saw was the land of dark skies slowly fading away and a Sky Knight standing in the doorway. I couldn't see behind his mask but I could tell that behind it, was a smile of dark satisfaction. They must think I know something. Unfortunately, I know too much.
