Glayders' A Princess Tale

your name

Kathyln Glayder

The sound of battles and knock on my door wakes me up! Intruders? How? I looked through the windows first as I saw soldiers from the castle rushing here and there.
"Princess Kathyln, Please open the door"
I prepared myself, If it's someone else than any soldier he would have simply broken the door but still I can't be reckless, I don't know whether any Lance or my brother is out there.
I opened the door, before anyone could speak I asked "What's the situation?"
"It is bad Princess, you need to get out of the castle right now."
"Is there any lance on their way, do Mom and dad... Before I finish my words a terrible pressure struck my words.
"Princes we don't have time, let's go!"
I know it's not the wise decision to leave my people, my soldiers and run away but of course the enemies main target has to be me as my family members are not here in the castle today, so If I get out of here safely it'll be the best way to restrict them but I'm yet to know who has such audacity to land a blow on our castle.
As we walked through the alley I heard spells crashing, soldiers screaming..
"What I know right now is that the Elven Kingdom is under attack, and I don't know where our Generals are at the moment."
If the Elven Kingdom is under attack, and our castle as well, it seems the attack is from outsiders.
"Don't worry Princess we'll teleport through the portal gate and you'll be safe in the flying Castle"
"You lessers always try to escape"
The voice from behind made us numb, we lost all the energy to move forward.
I looked behind, horrified to even witness the person who has such a terrific aura.
"Princess!! Just move forward, soldiers cover the princess at all costs!"
The captain who was leading us turned around to face the two horned man covered by a hood, his face was pale, there's nothing but just bones it looks like a ghost or a skeleton walking around.
"Yes run for your life princess" that man split.
While every cell of my body wanted to run away, as it is our priority now but something was bothering me inside.
As I turned away and wanted to make step spikes started to come out of the ground..
"Protect the princess.. the word stopped as the spikes stabbed the captain and his soldiers.
"I'll take you in one piece, Princess" the monster replied laughing.
I clinched my fists, mana rushing through my body.
I channeled a beam of Ice, as the monster stopped the spell with a gruesome smirk.
But to his surprise the beam shattered and a dense fog circled him.
I went to the captain, wanted to help him but he stopped me as more spikes  piercing the soldiers..
"Your little tricks won't work"
"Who are you?" I asked my voice trembling.
"You'll find out when I take you with me"
More soldiers were rushing towards me.
I need to channel a strong attack so that I can escape while others try to restrain him.
The training I had with Lance Varay and my core was near the silver stage but I knew this guy is not someone I afraid even twenty silver core mages would be enough.
I thought of trying out the Ice Dragon spell I saw my mentor Varay formed but I don't know If I can even do so properly, but maybe only that can hold him off for me to escape.
I raised my arms channeling mana as Ice started to shape while soldiers are throwing spells after spells but it hardly made any scratch.
He started to move forward, slicing everyone on the path.
Come on, hurry up I begged my spell yet to complete, my body shaking.
Our distance is getting shorter, I won't make it in time.
My spell wasn't ready and it wasn't near as powerful as my mentor's, strike him with all you have everyone looked at me understandable, they heard me screaming for the first time, as the soldiers saw I'm creating a large attack they surrounded that man,I launched the spell turned behind and started to run, not even looking what's going to happen..
"You're going nowhere" the man said I created a sword of ice in my hand not turning back I just have to get out of here.
Dozens of spikes blocked my path I tried to cut it through.
"Time over princess"
I stopped, the words came out just behind me, he's standing behind me, feeling numb of that man's pressure and fear I lost all the energy to fight, it's over.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Acting cool? But I can tell you at least this for your final move, I'm Uto from Alacrya"
I turned to him, my expression placid, "Thank you, but I'm sorry Uto you won't be living for long"
His eyes narrowed as he wanted to grab my hands but a spell mixed of lightning and fire pushed him backward.
I turned behind hoping it was Lance Wykes but to my surprise..
"Arthur!"
