The knife in the little girl's hand trembles as the blood drips slowly onto the hard, cold marble ground.
Her first kill of many to come.
The heavy weight of the kill clings to her, but there is no regret, only a strange sense of power. She stares at the lifeless body, her small, delicate fingers tightening around the handle of the blade as if seeking comfort in the cold steel. The silence in the room was aching for a noise, the air heavy, suffocating, and yet the young girl did not mind.
In the dim light, her wide eyes - brown, mesmerising eyes with flicks of amber dancing around her iris - scan the room, searching for a subtle sign of movement. She inhales deeply, she knows the rumours about her travelling like a plague. The girl knows that there's dangerous people coming for her, looking everywhere for her, and when they do, she will be ready.
This was only the beginning of her end.
But she didn't know that yet.
"Are you proud of me, sir?" She whispers to the hidden shadow lurking in the corner, her voice barely audible. The figure nods in approval. A dark mentor, unseen by most, but present to her. Guiding her through every step of training, preparing her until that time came.
"Good. Now hide the body, we have work to do."
This thirteen year old girl was the lost princess of Slythoria.
And, oh, to have believed that the kingdom would not burn dynasties to ashes just to find her. To think for even a moment that empires wouldn't crumble and bloodlines wouldn't fall, all in her name. She is no mere child—she is a force that kingdoms fear, a whisper in the dark that rulers dread. For her, they would topple their own thrones, sacrifice their sons, and watch their legacies turn to dust, all in their desperate pursuit of the girl, they crave only one thing: her death. For they know, if they fail, her older self will unleash her true self—an unstoppable force—and her power will consume them all.
AN: So this is my fantasy book I've started working on - may possibly be why there is slow updates on Before Addiction...anywayy I will be updating both when I can.
- Aesthetics and Characters will be posted before this during the week (maybe).
