A woman runs, holding onto her torso as she keeps glancing behind her. Tears spilling from her already wet cheeks.

She catches her breath and screams as the hurt in her chest tore her up internally. "Why... why?!" She cries as her clenched fist hits her broken heart.

Her lover tried to drug her, thinking of ridding her of their unborn baby. She was hurt. She felt betrayed. She grew to hate him with all of her being. 

Still, memories of the love they shared still plagued her. How could she possibly still trust him? And yet, despite her anxiousness, she still held onto a small scale sliver of hope. All she could do now, was to leave him and keep their child safe.

16 years passed and there stood a young boy with silver hair and bright amethyst coloured eyes. He smiles at the horizon, staring at the capital city of the country of Enoch. Finally, he was old enough to venture out into the great city. Said to be the largest and most prosperous of the kingdom. 

He holds firmly onto the hope of an exciting journey as he kissed his mother goodbye. Thinking of all the warning she gave him before his journey could begin. 

Once in the city, his life changed forever and his perilous struggles began.

The Unwanted Prince

"You seem a little rough for the wear.... but overall still kicking. That in itself is a relief." the guide said as they helped Mikhail back up and headed towards the side of the cave wall. 


"Thanks... so the loud sound was from you both?" Mikhail asked as he glanced towards the guide. 


"Yes. We managed to make our way in here but the entrance we came in crumbled just as we managed to get through. A little later and we'd have gone to meet our maker." 


"Sounds rough... ugh..." Mikhail mustered before grimacing from the pain. 


"Drink this. Its something to soothe the pain." 


Mikhail glanced at the flask handed towards him and took it without much hesitation. He gulped down the contents and handed the flask back to the guide as his face gradually grew flushed. 


"This... hic... kind of burns my throat..." Mikhail said slowly as he tried to keep his vision focused. 


"I didn't expect you to gulp down the whole content... Are you feeling any better? Has the pain subsided?"
