Prologue
Two cloaked figures dashed through the snow covered forest with haste, a trail of ice appearing behind them as they ran. One had the strong and broad stature of a man while the other the delicate and powerful figure of a lady. The woman held a small bundle close to her chest as she and her beloved fled from the chaos that befell their town.
After hours of running straight through the forest and countless small towns, they finally reached their destination. A medium sized, two story brick house towered over the two as they walked closer. A warm and cozy aura flowed from the home, providing comfort to those in need.
The pair entered the small barrier surrounding the house before stopping in front of the door, the man slowly taking the small bundle in the woman's arms, hugging it close.
"Are you sure you want to do this honey," the man asked from behind the woman, tears in his eyes. He tucked a letter in the folds of the blanket the child was rapped in before returning it to it's mother.
"It's the only way for him to stay safe," she replied, and before could change her mind she laid the sleeping babe on the porch mat, kneeling down to place a gentle kiss on his head, which was naturally cold to the touch.
She turned her attention back to her beloved. With a small nod from her husband she then turned before knocking on the door three time.
"We should leave," was all she said before dashing from the home, her husband's arm wrapped around her shoulders, holding her close. No longer able to hold back her tears, they collapsed under the red and orange leaves of a maple tree, and began to cry their hearts out.
'We're sorry, Matthew. We love you. Take care.'
