Run and Afraid

Eritrea, the regal heiress of Anon, ventures forth to observe the denizens of her kingdom. As she makes her way back to the palace, she stands out amidst the nocturnal allure of the village. Fearlessness permeates her being, yet little does she know that a fateful occurrence awaits, poised to transform her existence.

She enters a tavern wherein a group of individuals brazenly harass her. Suddenly, a valiant gentleman intervenes, vanquishing the miscreants. Expressing her gratitude, she extends her thanks, but the enigmatic savior departs without uttering a single word. Intrigued, she resolves to trail his footsteps. Inebriation has overtaken the man, rendering him incapable of maintaining a steady gait. Undeterred, she continues to pursue him as he ventures deeper into the enigmatic forest.

Princess: I’m Eri… Eritrea.

Aren: Go to sleep. Princess!

• As darkness descends, the man continues his journey. However, he falters upon a slope, and the princess extends her aid. Princess: “Pray tell, who might you be, and to what destination do you venture?” Man: “Mmm… I am homeward bound, and I express my gratitude for your assistance.” Princess: “Do not offer thanks, for I am a princess, bound by duty to aid my people.” Man: “Oh! My princess, this is the most wretched kingdom I have ever beheld.” Princess: “Ah! Beware your words, for such utterances could cost you your life. And pray tell, how many kingdoms have you witnessed?” Man: “All! In this very realm.” Princess: “And who do you claim to be? A falsehood, perchance?” Man: “Disregard it. You shall not believe, nor does anyone.” Princess: “I shall. Share your tale with me.” Man: “I am… I am the Knight of Blood.” Princess: “Deceiver! They perished centuries ago.” Man: “Hmm. As I have spoken. Now, depart for home, for your father shall be fraught with worry.” Princess: “Do not provoke my ire. I am unable to return home, as I have lost my protector. You are the sole individual in whom I can place my trust. So, where does your abode lie?” Man: “Here, in this very place.”

Having partaken of sustenance, the princess inquires, “By the way, what is your name?” Man: “I am called Aren.”

Princess: Good evening! It is rather challenging to find repose in this place.

Aren: In that case, I suggest you return to your palace.

Eritrea: And in that moment, I shall sever your head.

Aren: Rest, then

After some time, at midnight they hear some voices from a distance, and they run towards the voices. They see Spots killing people. Aren took her and runs back.

At Aren’s home.

Princess: what are they? We should save our people. How you can flee like a fox. I’m going to help my people. I’ll save them. Give me a sword. I’ll kill all those creatures. Hey, what are you doing?

Man: Hey listen, they are not just creatures. They are Spots. ( He gives his horse to her) Dan will take you to your palace. Tell them Night Village is attacked by Spots. They will come for you so gather all your Knights to protect the palace, Dan go!

Aren takes his sword and runs towards the village. Everything is destroyed. Everyone is screaming. He helped them and told them to go to the King’s palace. He and 5 other people go for Spots.

After walking 5 miles to the southern side ( opposite the Kingdom of Anon), they saw Spots in millions and their leader was Grag Si; he was a Druid of 7 Kingdoms but he used dark magic in the war of Blood and Darkness, so he was exiled by the Queen Almera.

Everyone decided that they will warn the King that they should start preparing for a war.
