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.

"That's a relief..." Mikhail sighed as he fell limply in the chair, relieved that the worse had passed. 


"How long could it possibly last? Are you certain the antidote you made was the right one?" William questioned Louis as he frowned. 


"I followed the sacred text to the T. There might be a problem I had overlooked earlier. I will quickly get to work Your Highness. For the time being could you---" 


"Yes, I will. Get to work now." William cut Louis off as he instructed Louis to start working on a solution as he turned to glance at the young man who fallen asleep out of relief behind him. 


William scratched his cheek as he wondered what to do with said young man. He sighed to himself as he took off the coat he wore and placed it on the sleeping man.
