Never thought itwould come to this

After running for a very long time, Elena finally stopped. She was in the forest covered with tall trees so she had no idea what time it was.

Collapsing to the floor, her tears fell anew. In just a few hours, what was meant to be the best day of her life turned out to be a nightmare. One that stole the lives of her parents and was likely to steal Lyon's too.

She hated her self, she hated herself for been weak, for having to have her parents sacrifice their lives for her, For having too many people sacrifice their lives for her.

No, she couldn't continue like this. Her parents and the hundreds of soldiers that died couldn't die in vain, no.. not when she was still alive.

She closed her eyes as memories flooded her. Her father's proud smile when he looked at her, her mother's gentle hands as they braided her hair, Lyon's gentle voice as he called her name.

Then her eyes flew opened. But they were different, they didnt hold the ignorance of a well protected and pampered lady, they held the cold strong gaze of a warrior.

Looking up, she made an oath. " I Princess Elena Allwez the only daughter to Edmond and Arina Allwez swear to fight and reclaim my kingdom."

Her voice wasnt loud but it carried an heavy burden.

She looked down at her gown that was wet and dirty and torned at the hem and tore it off turning it to a mini gown.

She spent the remaining 6 hours making weapons that could help her hunt down animals and herbs, aldo a few wooden swords, an arrow with the elastic stips of her bracelet and necklace and some sharpened bows.

Although she was an only princess, Lyon and her Parents hadn't allowed her to laze around and arranged training sessions for her every other day. She had loved it bcos she got to spend more time with Lyon but she never knew it would come to this.

She also made trips around the villages and watched how things were made. She was vry inquisitive and intelligent. But never in her life would she have thought it would help her in this way.

After packing them all into the part of the cloth that she had torned, she started to walk forward.

Suddenly, she heard a cry, she stopped and listened carefully, then she heard it again. It was the voice of a pup but she didnt know which and it sounded like it was in pain.

Frowning slightly, she walked carefully in the direction of the whimpers until she came into view with a tiger cub. It had white and pink furs with a very cute face.

" Awwn ohh my god you look so cute. What happened to you? Did you get separated from your pack? Are you injured?" She asked worriedly as she crouched down beside it to examine its wounds.

" Oh my, It's really serious. How did u get injured soo badly?" Elena said as she tore of more of her gown and cleaned the wound gently.

The cub looked at her and after deducing that she wasn't a threat turned her head sideways and closed her eyes.

Elena squeezed some leaves on it that she knew wasn't poisonous and placed them gently on the wound leaving it to dry.

She turned back to look at the cub squeezing her cheeks gently.

"What do we do now? I can't leave you out here all alone but what if your pack comes back and they don't meet you here?" She said looking worried.

The cub shook her head and rubbed her self on Elena purring softly.

" You want to go with me? What of ur pack? "

The cub shook her head again.

" They aren't coming? Or you don't have one??"

The cub nodded. Elena had a pitiful expression on her face as she said.

" Oh you poor thing. Don't worry. I'll take you with me and together we will take back Avelon." Elena voice was carefree and her face a smile but in her eyes was a dangerous glint.

The cub smiled and nodded in satisfaction. 'It was worth it injuring myself.'
