Chapter 1a: The Princess

**Fate**: Its not easy to know the future, to send people on a path, but it is harder when the

future is clouded ,usually by a great evil. It happens many times, more than any physical being

knows, but heroes are always born for me to chose to help the future be clear. One exception

though the heroes were chosen by a mysterious force. Let me tell u about it.

Once upon a time, in a world filled with mystical powers, there was............

a princess...................

a princess returning from a long time away from home

*****************

Ketana: Father, father!!! I' m back from my training as a priestess of balance.

King Darian: that's wonderful, my child. You're mother would be proud It was a long 13 years.

The last time a saw you, you were only 6 years old.

Ketana: I brought her a lotus for the pond near her tomb.

She grabs a box, opens it revealing the magnificent flower

I hope there's no trouble

King Darian: Well, A couple of days ago, a spy told me that the Orcs are preparing for war

against an unknown foe. It could be us or the followers of Saint-Evans

Ketana: That's good to know.

From her luggage she pulls out two sword cases.

King Darian: What are those dear?

Ketana: Katanas (remember Ketana =a person katana=is a sword). It's a present from the High

priestess. They train us to defend ourselves remember because we go many times in

hostile environments.

King Darian: I guess Sir...um..."Rusty" is not good enough.

Ketana: Sir "Rusty" is good but

A knight walks in the throne room

Lancealot: (I hate that name.)

Ketana: Well, I'm going to the tomb garden first, before going to my room. Let's go "Rusty"

Lancealot: (I have to get rid of that nickname)Yes, I am!

********************

**Fate**: She went the grave yard. It was the moment to chose her but the mysterious force beat

me to the cue.

********************

Ketana

(kneeling in front of her mothers tomb stone): ........I hope you're proud of me!

A old lady enters the garden

Lancealot: Stop there!!!

Old lady: Give this to the princess. She will like it

She gives lancealot a glowing orb

Lancealot gives the orb to Ketana but te orb somehow disappears as Ketana touch it. The back of

her hand was marked with the signs of seven elements.

(Fire= flame Wind=tornado Earth=rock Water=a drop Forest=a tree Light = a white orb

Darkness=a black orb)

**Fate**: Wile she was looking a the signs, it happened.....

The castle alarm was activated. At the same time a group a cloaked men rush in the garden.

Lancealot: Princess!!! Run!!! Take the secret passage!!!!!!

Ketana (grabs her katanas): But

Lancealot: Just go!!! without you or the king this kingdom is gone!!!!

**Fate**: Ketana took the order a hurried to the passage while Lancealot were distracting the

men. After a long two hours in almost absolute darkness. she got out of the passage, on nearby

mountain. She looked at her home, hoping someone else might have escape the surprise attack. But

Suddenly in the Sky, a huge ball, which appeared to be formed from dark fire crash in the

castle. As the light from the crashed disappeared, it revealed a big crater where the castle was.

She became a princess without a kingdom.
