Shocked, I watch my mother tearing her hair out and shout, "No, no, no, you're not going. I'm not going to let you go."
I have just announced to her my decision to go and find the gem. At first, she looked at me, knitting her eyebrows in wonder. It took a few seconds for her to realize what exactly I was talking about. Then she widened her eyes and started screaming and pulling her hair. The truth is that I did not expect this reaction. Yes, I expected her to refuse my proposal for me to go, but I did not expect all this weeping and hair-tearing. Her reaction tore my heart. I had to be prepared for it. First, the father's kidnapping, and now I tell her that I will go and find the gem without being sure if I will ever return.
It's an enormous burden for a wife and mother. Her family scattered without knowing if she will see them again. And all this so abruptly, so tragically suddenly. From one day to the next, she will be left alone. My eyes a

EdithWe reach the edge of the forest very quickly. Knight Ballyan approaches me and tells me:"It's time to let go of the horses, my princess.""Okay," I answer, and Ballyan gives the order to the other knights.We dismount from the horses, and the soldiers who have followed us take the horses' reins and, with a simple "Good Luck," took the road back to the castle.We watch them walk away for a while, but when the dust raised by the horse's clattering of feet and drowns us causing us a cough, we decide to move on.We begin to enter the forest, and the drop in temperature is quickly felt. The vegetation is dense. Gigantic trees with massive thick trunks and low and tall shrubs cover almost all the ground. Somewhere we find some flowers with huge blossoms. This is the first time I see such flowers. They have lovely bright colors and a delectable scent.I gape for a moment about this incredible beauty of t

I remain frozen in my place while my heart starts hammering. I must inform the men immediately. Brian is closer to me, and I decide to tell him.I lean slightly towards him. "Brian," I whisper, wanting to get his attention first.He turns and looks at me. "What's up, princess. Why are you whispering?" he tells me with carelessness, and I want to bring him the plate I was holding on his head. But he is right. He doesn't know."Wild animals are here watching us. They may have surrounded us. Tell to Robert who is sitting near you. Everyone needs to be informed," I tell him, and he nods in agreement.From my seat, I watch the process as the information was transferred from one to another and how their behavior changed from the moment they learned.They left their plate on the ground and put his hand on the handle of the sword, ready for defense.When the information reaches Ballyan, he leaves his plate on the ground, and he carefully searches th

I feel beads of sweat run down my spine and collect in the dimple at the base of my waist."Did you feel that?" I ask the knights wanting to know their thoughts on what had just happened. Maybe there is some logical explanation. Perhaps it's a unique phenomenon in this magical forest that I don't know about.I wish to be."Yes," Brian answers."What is it?" I ask again."It was just o breath of air."I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips. "I'm not stupid, Brian. It wasn't just a breeze like all the others. Not a leaf was moved. How do you explain that?'The knight stops short and scratches the back of his neck."You notice that, don't you?" asks me."Of course I noticed. What is it? Why did it happen?"The other knights seem to have heard our conversation because they are approaching us."The truth is, we don't know what it might be. Various legends circulate in people's mouths, but it is difficult for me to believe all I hear." Ballyan informs me, and then I remember."Aida before I

Millions of years ago, planets were born after the Big Bang. Among them was the Earth that was to, in the long run, host life.But before that could happen, the planet had to go through a process of being able to support life. And for this purpose four elements, of incredible strength and power united to create something magnificent.Air, Water, Fire, and Earth.In the beginning, the planet's surface was fluid due to the liquid fire that was constantly flowing from the ongoing eruptions of the volcanoes. The lack of land and the poisonous gases of volcanoes currently hindered the development of any life form. The process was long and time-consuming.After several centuries, the Earth's surface cooled from the glaciers forming a solid crust. When the glaciers melted, the water flooded the planet.Millions of years passed until life was finally created to produce oxygen, thus changing the atmosphere's composition and making it sustainable.

Humans' Kingdom"Estella?""Yes, my highness?"Estella was sitting in a purple velvet chair with a high back, holding an open book in front of her and reading."Come, my majesty, to take pride in our daughter."His tone of voice contained a small dose of irony and a hefty amount of bitterness.Estella closed her book, got up from her chair, and left the book where she had been sitting. She approached the large window where King Lucius was standing and watching the princess training in archery in their castle's large garden.At a considerable distance from Princess Edith, a human model was made of wood and straw of her own inspiration, as she was got bored of the circular colored target. So, she asked, and they made this model for her, which had already been filled with arrows after so much practicing. Her technique was almost perfect in a relatively short time, as was her fencing too. The truth was that the archery was h

It's been a while that I see out of the corner of my eye my parents looking at me and talking to each other. I know they talk about me. I know that my father does not like me practicing weapons. He would prefer to sit all day on my soft feather mats and embroider or read a book from our library's endless collection.I have been doing all this for years. I'm tired of them now.I have grown up to waste my hours in so much inactivity and essentially useless activities for me. However, sometimes I have the desire for a bit of reading, and I do it. So simple.But this rarely happens. My heart and body are awake in explosive energy leading me to what it needs to get relief. That is my preoccupation with weapons and daily practice until the final drop. I have been dedicated to these for the last two years. After comparing my previous activities, I realized that the current ones give me more pleasure. I enjoy it to the fullest.I like that my body feels so

When my father saw me with my mouth open, and my eyes rolled, he just laughed softly without saying anything."Father, what…?" I start to say."Now that Edith has arrived, we can eat. I'm going to tell you to serve the food," my mother says and gets up from her chair. She approaches me, looking at me meaningfully. As she passes me, she gently pulls me with her, and I follow her. I understand that something is happening here, and I do not resist. We make some steps, and then she tells me. "I have spoken to your father. For you".I smile at her. "Okay," I answer. "Harry up with food because I'm starving," I tell her right after.My mother laughs softly. "Take your father and come to the dining room to sit. The food is coming too ".I make a change to my course, and I return to the small living room. I look at my father, who was absorbed in reading his book. I stare at him for a few moments, and as if he felt that someone was watching him, he r

Aida was infuriated with Brantley and Ladon. Although they had tricked her, pretending not to go ahead with their plan and giving her a deadline - apparently to throw dust in her eyes - they reassured her by carrying out their own satanic plan in the end.In the castle, she mobilized all her forces to not reveal her feelings, not to escape any word of her mouth that would betray her relationship with the dragons. They would think that she was involved in all this, and they would lose their trust in her. And most importantly, she would lose their love. And that would make her heart a thousand pieces. She was unsure if she could bear to lose the people she loves so much, who have become her family and have blind trust in her. All this can be lost in only a single moment.For tonight, her ally was the silver illumination of the moon which became her trustworthy guide. She was walking fast without noticing if there was anyone or any other animal around her. The boiling rag

EdithThe first thing I see when I open my eyes is the ceiling. I wander my eyes around and recognize my room.I feel dizzy, and my head hurts unbearably. Next to me, I sense a presence slightly pressing something cold in my head. I try to turn my head to see who this is, but a sharp sting in the head fixes me back in place."It is me, my princess," a voice spoke to me, and I identify Aida's voice. "Please stay still. That's what you need now.""What has hap… ?""Shhh …… Not now. Later."Why? What has happened?The pain in my head forces me not to persist. That is why I am giving up at the moment.My head is buzzing. The icy pressure on my head that I feel is soothing and comforting. Blurry images begin to flood my mind as they slowly start to clear up. And then I remember… My eyes open wide."Fath…" I try to get up, but Aida stops me by holding me down.

Edith No! Woefully! My vision does not fool me. It is a dragon! A real, giant dragon with all its bones, flesh, and blood. Well, I suppose they do have blood. And all those terrible and ugly horns and nails. It is flapping its giant wings to keep its body swing in one place, at the height of the castle's balcony, which is the extension of the ball hall. Into its sight, my breath is taken away. For a while, I forget to breathe until my lungs tell me to do so. Then I take a deep, sharp breath. Oh! My God! What does it want? What is looking for here? Why on this special day for us? And it is not alone. On its back is carrying a man. His eyes sparkle with malice and hatred. The hairs down my neck are standing up, and a shiver runs through my spine. "Good Evening ladies and gentleman," the man speaks with a voice full of irony. "Do you enjoy your ball? Now is the time not to anymore." Wh

EdithUna appears at the door, panting. Her face is all red from the tension but also the rush. Drops of sweat shine on her forehead.As soon as I see her, I get up from my seat, ready to listen to what she has to tell us.On the contrary, my mother runs to her and asks her:"Well? What happened?""Only the coachman has a slight injury because he was sitting outside the carriage, and as the wheel broke, he fell from the carriage. Fortunately, he did not fall on a stone. He has already been carried to the castle. He is with Mistress Nina and cleans his wounds until the doctor comes. The rest who was in the carriage are all fine.""Did you find out who they are?""Yes, Ntandrein's Count Damian and his wife, Countess Grace.""Oh! My god! Are you sure they are both okay? ""Yes. They will be here in a while. When the doctor comes, he will examine them too. This is what the king ordered."
