1532-Usnurus
The bourders of aldria
The Utreau forestRunning through the forbidden grounds of the dark forest,
the young prince was stumbling on the old tree bases, and in the little water pounds created by the rain,
Mud splashing on his fine clothes,
His hand on his wound trying to slow down the bleeding
And the other holding a small hunting knife he kept in his boot,
After he had been disarmed from his sword and dagger.
The world around him started getting blurry, and his head felt almost too heavy on his neck,
He knew he'll be on the ground soon,
So he headed to the first big tree trunk he could find
The tree (or what was left of it) was empty on the inside allowing him to snuggle in,
And the bush in front of it provided extra coverage.The sound of the horses hoofs banging on the wet floor of the forest grow louder and louder
Indecating they are close to finding him
But his weak body gave up
Not helping him to run no more.Until they stopped a few yards away from him.
-we lost him, kent grumbled (in his burgundycap and leather clothes underneath),
We should leave now before they find us, i don't want to be slaughtered today, he said waving a bug that flow in front of his beautiful face.The other two knights agreed with him looking at the prince waiting for his orders while he was wondering with his sharp and deceitful eyes,
Scanning the place around him for his brother
He returned his gaze towards them with his eyebrows in a knote
-NO, he yelled at them furiously...we can't leave before we finish him
What if he came back?!My father will hang us on the city gates leaving our bodies to be eaten by crows.
-sir, he won't come back... how is he going to survive in this place, kurtis said trying to convince the prince,
if he was lucky enough to survive the stab in his abdomen and the wild animals lurking around
He'll soon be found by the savages....and i'm sure they'll finish the job for us, he finished with a mischievous grin on his face.
Prince varic agreed relectuntly, to the wise words of kurtis, his soon to be prime Minister when he inherents the throne from his father
The four men turned back on their horses leaving the dark and misty forest behind
Leaving the 20 year old prince dying in that old tree trunk
Olek rested his head on the wood behind him, eyes partially closed
His limbs started to stiffen from the cold,
His lips turning blue
As his blood slowly draining from his bodyHe saw in the corner of his eye a dark figure getting closer and the bush in front of him cracking as it moved away
Exposing him.There was nothing he could do to stop what the predator is going to do to him.
Finally the world turned black and he slipped away not expecting to wake up again.
