Prologue

I ran as fast as I could because I was being chased in an empty, snow-covered meadow. My simple black dress trailed behind me on the cold ground as I ran away from my pursuer. I looked behind my shoulder, only to see him closing in on me. I turned my gaze ahead of me as I concentrated on outrunning him and getting to the safety of the town. I knew he would stop chasing me if I only got to the city in time. I could hear the footsteps right behind me as his boots caused the snow to crunch beneath them.

He tackled me from behind which made he and I fall together into the snow. "Ultimaticus!" I laughed. "Get off me, the ground's cold!"

I struggled to turn onto my back and gave a glare to my long time boyfriend. Ultimaticus laughed, leaned down and gave me a peck on the lips. "No," he answered.

"Come on, it's freezing!" I complained.

"You should have thought of that before you took my favorite cloak," he grinned.

"Okay, I will give you the cloak back if you let me up!" I promised.

"In that case..." he stood, extended his hand and helped me to stand. I untied his brown cloak from around my waist and handed it to him. He, in turn, shook the cloak out and wrapped it around my shoulders. I couldn't help but stare into his crimson eyes, they were so mesmerizing. I ran my hands through his short black hair and leaned into his arms. "I love you so much Snowe."

"I love you too Ultimaticus," I replied.

"What possessed you to take my cloak in the first place?" he asked me.

I turned my eyes back to his face and seen his smirk. "I saw that girl touching you and it made me jealous," I confessed.

"Yeah," Ultimaticus laughed. "That girl is obsessed with me, she's so annoying. But..." he smiled, "you are the only girl for me and I promise you this."

All of a sudden, the ground beneath us begins to shake. Ultimaticus helped me keep my balance as he and I drop to our knees to keep from falling. As sudden as the earthquake starts, it stops. "W-what happened?" I asked.

"I do not know...let's get back to Salomia and make sure the city is still in one piece," Ultimaticus suggests. I nodded in agreement.
