In the village of Asra, where everyone had the same physical features, was plagued by a beast of the forest. Their only option was to sacrifice the girls of the village when they came of age. One village girl was different from the rest. Growing up with the hatred of the villagers, orphan girl Raven spent most of her time in the forest. She befriended the beast that plagued her village. But what will happen when it's her time to be sacrificed to him?

The Lost Heir

Listening to the council members, my mind wasn't even focused on them. My thoughts kept drifting back to Raven. I hope she doesn't awaken when I'm in this meeting. Come on Amon. Focus! As much as I love Raven, I need to concentrate on this meeting. The faster I finish here, the faster I could get back to her. 


 "Are you listening to us your majesty?" One of the council members asked. I'll be honest here. I don't know the names of any of the five council members. It's pathetic I know. But I never cared to learn it. 


 I spent so little time around them that I never bother to learn it. Just as they were asking me what were my intentions on finding a bride, the throne room doors were doing open, a flushed Marax on the other side. He was panting like he ran here from the ancient chambers. He did. His face was clouded over with panic as his eyes darted from the council members to me. I didn't even have to ask what went wrong. Raven.
