......
A lady accompanied with a young boy pushes the large red palace door open walking in quickly. she called for her father the king however her eyes widens when she saw a sword thrust through her fathers heart.
"You bastard", she draws her sword from her sheath
"Stop, drop your weapon or her split her throat" a voice rang out behind her. She turns to the look at her assailant, her mother and brother held hostage with a short sword aim to her neck" Suddenly the princess is knock out by a guard. She falls to the ground. A shadow looks at the boy with green eyes and Blondie hair and he speaks.
"Kill the boy". A voice with much authority commander.
The boy looking at brute knights in silver Armor walking towards him. He scans the hall moving his eyes to and fro for a possible escape. He brings out a golden colored coat with leam empire patterned designs on it. The guard walks to him thrusting his sword swiftly at him. The young boy quickly puts on the coat and he vanished from sight however the sword slashes his arm with blood dripping. The guard shocked at the sudden disappearance looking around him. Then he notices dot of blood on the floor.
"Find him" He shouted. The other guards begins to search for him following the trail of blood in the hallway. The young boy turns his face inside his invisible coat looking back. Guards on his trail. He jumps out of the building window crashing atop a fruit vendor store. The wreckage causes a sudden steer of commotion.
"Down there!" The guards quickly follows after him rushing through the stairs. The boy see an old man driving a cart made of straw. The boy runs jumping into the carts. The guards following the trail noticed the sudden lost of his blood on the floor lead to the carts moving. They ran after it stopping the cart. They thrust their swords swiftly into the cart of straws hoping to hit something however they felt nothing. They move to the next cart where the boy was hidden. The boy looking saw swords thrusting into the cart aim at him. He begins to move his body escaping the swords by the skin of the teeth. Soon the cart moves away outside the city gate. Several days without food nor water. The young boy stood in front of a towering Kingdom with large castles and building that can be seen anywhere. He smiled and speaks.
''Leam kingdom" He walks closer to the entrance gate of Leam and suddenly a hand holding an handkerchief press against his nose. He struggles and he looks up. He sees a man in red robe.
"Vermilllion" the boy called trying to speak. A tall pale man with purple eyes and large fangs growing out of his teeth stood in front of him and speaks.
"My prince, young prince Scriven. It's time for you to fall asleep". Vermilllion stretching his hand at the boys face who screams angrily however his eyes grew blurring and he falls asleep.
One year earlier.
***********
I ran boy swiftly through corners of buildings, streets and a dark alley. The floor of the city is made up of bright brown and red stones. At the end of the alley. A mass of people stood horizontally with loud drifted conversation among them. As I ran closer, i slows down trying to make sense of their conversation i hear them speak.
"I knew it, all these so called noble and royalty. They are all the same, pretenders, all their action always have one political agenda to it.They never do a good for free" The other replied with a furious face.
"Treassooon? She was a kind princess, she not likes other royalty. I benefited from her kind act, how can a princess be accused of murdering her own father that does not make sense. I don't by it, she was kind and she never failed to help us peasant. She was the first princess that I have seen that talks about equality for all, I believe she did not kill the king".
“Too bad, she would be executed in seven days, I heard the court pass judgment on her."
"No, this can't be true "
My heart panted heavily and ran into the light at the end of the alley were the mass of people gathered drifted in conversation. lifting my head and I looked. I saw a beautiful young lady, her white long and bushy hair, matted than usual after months of exposure to dust and sweat. She was chained sited in a wagon drawn cart dragged by six guards mounted on high horses. The guards wore silver armor from their foot, armored to the teeth. Her face and hands were so caked with filth and dirt that she was beginning to forget what her skin had once looked liked. Her white gown wear torn and dirty and she smelled, however if anything stood out about her. It was her cold blooded eyes. A blue ocean eyes, they were not easily forgotten by those commoners or nobles who saw them properly. Her hands and feet were sore from being bound. The sore in the socket of her eyes reveals she could not sleep for a long while and when she did doze off. She dreamed of home with beautiful flowers gardens and pleasant weather. She was a princess and i am a peasant according to the laws of Qing.
She lifts her head inside the wagon with her blue ocean eyes looking at me and she speaks through a mind link.
"My fated mate. Mine Save me. Find me, my name is Talia. My wolf link sees the future and she. My partner will be in trouble soon. Hurry and find me. Hurry " Arslan looks in surprise as part of her face shape shifts party to a human face and wolf face.
.....
"KKKKYYYYYYaaaaaaaaaaah! Arslan screams waking up from sleep. He turns his face roaming his eyes to and fro. A regular square room with a window by the right side of the bed. He rubs his face with his hand.
"What the hell is that? Some kind of dream to save her, save who. He feels so real. Like I was actually there". He stretches his neck looking at the window. He looks at people dressed in demon hunters uniform moving to and fro.
Yes, I remember now, i fought a giant red wolf and I fainted. Yes, father and mother where taken away but I could sniff them miles away when I got there. Why will the werewolves come look for my parents. Where do I go and find them. Arslan sighed in depression and suddenly, a glint shines in his hexagonal purple crystal in his necklace strapped around his neck. Yes, I remember father said I should go to Qing to search for the king's seal and also find a man named Roland. I guess this my only option now. Arslan continue to think when the door swings open cutting in on his thoughts.
"You are awake. That goods, how are you feeling?" Betty walking into the room sitting beside Arslan touching his forehead.
"It seems your fever has gone down. You were a bit cold and sick through out the night"
"Thanks, I guess I am alright now" replies Arslan.
"No, problem at least that's is the best I could do not after you save my ass last night" Betty comments
"You are an Elve? Questioned Arslan.
"That should be obvious don't you think" Betty pointing at him looking at his eyes.
"Well, you have a lovely ruby eyes like mine and now that I look at you clearly. You are quite an handsome dude" Betty speaks as she set her gaze looking into Arslan's eye's.
"Thanks, you also look quite lovely and I love your ears" Arslan replies
"Lovely huh! Betty twitch her eye brows ''i would have appreciate the comments if you say i am beautiful. Well, i get that a lot. People don't like me that much because i am an Elve. Not just any Elve but a berserk er Elve. We get our strength from anger. Any Elve you see with red hair and red eyes are quite powerful and advice you run from them'' She stares with an intimidating look. Arslans picks his shirt and jumps out of the bed about to run. Betty quickly held his Arms.
''Where do you think you are going to? She questions.
'
'Well, you said i should run anytime i see an Elve with red hair".
"Huh, Are u dumb? Obviously, am not going to kill you or anything. Well, I have come to get you and show you around".
"Ok"
The duo walked out of the door leading into a city. The sunlight filled Arslan's eye coming out of the building. He looks up spluttering in surprise. Compared to the village he lived in. This place is gigantic and massive. The city filled with people on uniforms. The estate is made up metals with carriages moving on wheels. The city has steam running powering steam robots.
"Welcome to bolt steam work city. This are robots created by steam. They are prototypes version of tanks that will be created in the future. It's rifles are made up of wolfs bane. A flower created into powder and bullet. One hits to a wolf will force them to transform into humans and they can be captured alive. As you know, there are humans who shapeshift into wolf's and the order of four kings is to eliminate wolf and Vampire that plague the city".
"If they are capture alive, what becomes of them? Questions Arslan.
"They are taking to a professor name doc sho-ko-lo-ko-bamoshe who experiments on them testing the latest version of wolfs bane experiments and you would not like to find out the horrors of screams while he conducts these experiment". Arslan's eyes widened.
