Runaway Warrior

3

Two days have passed since Clay and I were ordered to go to war.

I was currently sitting on a white horse as mother and father hugged Clay goodbye.

I stiffened as they turned to me. "Stay safe Zia" Mother said with a sickening sweet voice.

"Don't end up being killed" Father said calmly as they both patted my shoulder before leaving to give Clay another hug.

Before they could continue hugging I interrupted them "Lets head out Knights" I ordered with a cold voice.

Clay pouted at me as he kissed our parents cheeks before following the retreating knights.

"Lets go Snow" I muttered to the white horse as she broke out into a run.

We rode for a long time until we reached the Element Empire's Imperial palace.

The instant we arrived the gates immediately opened letting us through.

Clay, who was in the lead, led us to where Emperor Arnold stood.

I noticed we were the last to arrive. I let myself stay behind Clay as Emperor Arnold started to speak.

"Knights, today is the day you will be leaving for war, I wish you luck and stay safe, don't get hurt" Emperor Arnold said looking worried.

"Your Majesty, who is going to lead the royal army?" A knight from the Fire Duchy asked curiously.

"I am" I cold chilly voice sounded from behind everyone.

Turning I saw a man riding up on a huge black horse.

He had pitch black hair and deep blood red eyes.

It was none other then the monstrous forth Prince, Ronan.

"He's a good choice, I heard he's a swordmaster" Clay whispered to me eagerly.

"Yes" I said with a stone cold expression on my face.

"Leaders of each duchy, come forward" Prince Ronan ordered.

"Stay here" Clay murmured as he rode up to stand next to the other Dukedom leaders.........
