She was running as fast as she could down a dark street, footsteps pounded behind her, urging her to keep running. There, to her left, was it a gated alley? It surely seems dark enough. Leaping the gate with well-practiced ease, she crouched down in the shadows. The guards thundered past her, never once stopping to examine the alley. Pleased with herself she stood and stretched out her cramped muscles, she didn't know if she had ever ran so far, so fast. Sighing she walked down the alley, keeping in the shadows, she didn't know this place and whatever that may lurk at the end could be the end of her life.
She heard a roar and panicked, that roar, was it the roar of armies in combat training? It would be awfully foolish of her to be able to out run the place guards and run straight into an army in training. She crept closer and the roar became deafening, she gasped as she turning the corner; a cascading waterfall fell down to her left, it's roaring water pouring into the fathomless lake before her. The lake seemed to stretch forever and clustered at the center of the lake, seemed to be ruins. Silver eyes widened as she stared around her, taking in as much as she could of this wonderful sight.
"Pretty sight, isn't it?" a light male voice asked behind her.
She spun and faced him, her knives already unsheathed. A green eyed, blond youth was staring at her. He must be a merchant's kid, she decided, for he was dressed very richly indeed. He wore a blue silk shirt over pale gray breeches that screamed of money.
"What do you want?" she asked, eyes narrowing.
He grinned, irking her ever more. "This isn't somewhere a little girl should wonder off by herself to."
She glared at him. "Well then, why is a three year old baby doing here?"
Amusement lit his eyes, "You'll be caged if you're caught here by the guards, did you know that?"
A clock stroke the hour somewhere and she gasped as she realized the time. Without another word, she ran off towards her den. But her heart pounded against her chest, who was that boy? And more importantly what did he want with her?
