I shot up awake looking around and I see Ellie laying down right next to me and I started to freak out but I remember why she was next to me ever since I looked at the fountain what I saw haunts me in my dreams and I cant tell anybody because I don't want them freaking out but she said there were things I couldn't change about what I saw and I don't believe that I know I can change the future. I went to get off the bed but as soon as I got up I felt arms wrap around my shoulders and I couldn't help but smile" Ellie u have to get off me I need to go on that mission for the king and queen I can't stay and I'm sorry" I could hear her sigh then she kissed my cheek" just come back for Starla's sake Kiran she will be lost without you" I felt her let go and lay back down I took off my mothers ring grabbed some string then I made her a necklace and the ring started glowing and I gave it to Ellie" as long as you have my mothers ring it will glow when I am close by okay only time it won't glow is if I take off my dads ring or I die so ill be back". I put my gear on but I left the armor because it seemed like a simple mission I can hear Ellie crying as I was walking out of the room and Anakim was right next to the door and he had a big smile on his face and rubbed the top of my head" alright come on lover boy we needed to get going along time ago" I couldn't help but turn red when he said that but I shook it off we headed towards the stables and the king was waiting there he then handed us a letter" this message came to us a yesterday another kingdom was taken over but there is royalty hiding there mostly just the prince and princess is left the captain of their guard is protecting them, but they are running low on food so get there as fast as u can".  I nodded on got on my horse and Anakim had a bag on his back and I was confused but then I remembered he was a giant he would be able to keep up with a horse the king wished us luck and we took off the sun was barely coming up over the horizon if we didn't stop for any reason we would make it there by nightfall, I look over to my right and I can see Anakim jogging not even sprinting and I started to question on how fast he truly is why my horse was running I check all of my packs I had my bow, my father's sword, and a few things of food and I opened another pack and it had a dagger in it with my name carved into it and I know whos doing it was and I put it in its sheath and placed it on my hip. we got close to their kingdom by noon and we can see that the kingdom was taken over by orcs so we just needed to be careful I threw on my hood and looked at Anakim and he nodded letting me know he's ready so I ran towards him and he threw me to the top of the wall and I shot a couple of orcs that were on the lookout for intruders then I hear Anakim climbing with his bare hands than when he got to the top and he put his hand on my shoulder" hey Kiran lets meet back at the pond we left the horse at" I nodded and we both went our separate ways.

 I kept running till a glint of light caught my eye and I stopped and then I saw the glint again and I ran towards it but kept out of sight I opened the door slowly and then I was greeted with a sword swung at me but I caught it and I felt the blood rush down my hand and then I saw the prince and princess with torn up clothes and the captain apologized for trying to kill me and my hand healed fast. I made a fireball in my hand so I can check if they had any damages on them and the prince had a few cuts on his face I went to go heal him but he push my hand to the princess" I'm fine blaze just heal my sister" I looked at him confused because of the name I looked over the sister and she had a huge slash on her back that she was trying to hide I started to heal her" hey prince why did u call me blaze" he looked at me shocked" well that's one of the many names they have given u, the other names are Raijin and the boy of yellow" I hid my face from them to hide the tears. The princess placed her hand on my face" your their son arent u that's why I can see the pain in your eyes I'm so sorry for your loss it must still hurt" I finished healing her and I wiped the tears away" we got to move so we get yall somewhere safe now with my speed I will be able to take yall one at a time without alerting the orcs" immediately the princes pointed at his sister" get her out of here first before u worry about us okay she's more important than us" I shook my head" you two are important as well we were sent to bring all three of u back". The prince shook his head" no you don't understand she is a magic user and she can also see peoples future she is an oracle" I looked at the princess and she was looking away so I picked her up"I will be back for both of you just be patient" they nodded and I took off I met with Anakim at the top of the wall. he smiled" im guessing you found them in time I found two other horses and I took them to the pond so they are waiting there" I nodded and  I went to go but the princess grabbed my arm" you're going to die if you go back there plz just stay here" I put my hand on hers and smiled" trust me it's going to take a lot more than orcs to kill me" she let go and I took off when I saw the building orcs were trying to break the door down and shot as many as I could with arrows and they broke in so I ran in and saw that the captain was fatally wounded and the prince was caring for his wounds. I ran over to the captain but for how bad the wound looked I wouldn't be able to heal her" I'm sorry prince I can't heal her, her wound is too fatal the best healer is back where I was at but she will be dead by the time we get there" the prince shook his head" I don't care she needs to be taken before me please grant me this request" I couldn't deny his order he is royalty and I am still a knight so I picked up the captain and took off faster than before. I took off the helmet of the captain it made my thoughts speed up but I got her to Anakim and laid her down" slow down the bleeding I have to get the prince the orcs know we are here, so go to the horses I will meet you there" Anakim said something in his own language and the wound closed up a little to slow bleeding down and I took off again.

When I got closer I saw the orcs dragging the prince away so I used my lighting to cut their heads off with my dagger I picked the prince up told him to run away from here then I got hit into a wall and I felt the blood flowing from my head I got up to stand my ground but my vision was blurry so I called in a lightning strike on us and everything went black when I came too I felt as if I was being dragged when I look it was the prince he had blood all over his royal clothes I look down and saw my chest had claw marks on it like the orcs were trying to eat me. He got us to the wall and then I got up picked him up and threw him up there so he could climb up I ran up the wall and then had an arrow hit me in the gut, I shot a fireball back at the archer and climbed up and then me and the prince jumped off and landed on the ground hard he helped me to my feet we got to the pond the prince got on the horse with the captain and the princess helped me onto our horse and we took off fast. it was close to daybreak while we were still riding and my vision was starting to get blurry till me and the captain both fell off the horse because of our wounds I tried getting up but then I got a sharp pain and saw that the princess had ripped out the arrow she pushed me back to the ground but helped me sit up and took off my shirt and I could hear her gasp because of all the scars I had on my body because of training and just fighting when I was younger. she took some of the bandages I had in my pack and started dressing the wounds up Anakim came over" hey Kiran their captain ain't looking so hot and neither are u" I shook my head"You would get there faster by running we will reach there by nightfall so take the captain I will be fine" Anakim shook his head and smiled" you are as stubborn as your father you fit his legendary name" I smiled and he picked up their captain and took off running and man was he fast. I got back on the horse and the princess got on the same horse as her brother and we took off towards the kingdom I looked over and saw the princess crying and I shook my head then looked at the prince" so sorry for asking but may I ask your names all we got was a place to go to" the princes smiled" my name is Caelum and my sister's name is kyrie and the captain her name is rose" I smiled and chuckled" my name is Kiran but yall can call me by whatever yall feel comfortable with". We got closer to the kingdom and my vision was getting blurry my ring started glowing and I looked over and the princess was falling asleep we got close to the gate and my body just gave up and I fell off the horse causing me to roll and immediately I saw Starla and Ellie running out of the gate and I couldn't help but smile and my eyes got heavy to the point I passed out because of my wounds.
