Disclaimer: I own nothing of the movie Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
- Prologue -
Deep in the East resided the Syrian Empire ruled by King Balthazar. He had but one child since his beloved wife died in childbirth; a princess named Azrael. The king loved his daughter above all others; making her his heir despite her being a daughter instead of son.
Within years, Azrael grew up to become not only a good daughter but also filled in the place of a son; never letting her father feel as if he had no one to take place on the throne and carry his legacy. Azrael was trained as any Syrian prince would have. At a very young age she could best half the men in her private guard, which was fortunate since she was always running off without them. And she was beautiful, so beautiful that numerous suitors vied for her affections. Her hair was black as a raven's feathers, reaching just above her shoulders and her eyes, resembling those of a cat, were two hazel-green orbs. Her height was average with a petite build.
But now the princess is well past the age of marriage and the king worries that when he passes, his daughter shall be left alone in this world without a companion. Azrael has refused all of the many proposals that have come for her from princes, having heard of her remarkable beauty. To make matters worse, the Persian army comes closer to their borders each day. It won't be long before the kingdom is overrun by the great Persian Empire.
And so our story continues…
A/N So this idea just came to me after watching the movie again and thought I'd try to write a story. Let me know if I should continue or not. It's not going to involve the movie plot at all. There will be no Tamina.
