*Um, since I'm a first timer, i was confused about when it said story details. Please look at the 'story details' to check out the first part of this. this is a continuation to the whole first "Part 1".

It was, to be short worded, my ultimate fear. To be just left abandoned with an unknown reason. I couldn't find even the syllables to describe my pain. I couldn't even fathom it, because all I could think of is burning tears. Burning tears and a heavy heart. I finally woke up to my reality, a burning castle and two gentle yet strengthened arms carrying me to the lifeboats, since our kingdom was near the Gangera rivers. I felt weak as I didn't even know what was happening, I just thought of tears and nothing more. A quick jump into the life boats for the masked savior and he put me down next to my sisters, looking all bruised and pathetic. I couldn't even hug one of them... I was too ashamed. To faint in the sight of ultimate danger... was unforgivable. But the earlier news was too much to bear. I went back to sleep, realizing my potent defeat.

At six years old.


A few years later

I'm once again elated. Happy enough to roam the cobblestone streets of Yunia with my sisters. To not be questioned of royalty, but to be looked at as...a child. More so, a responsible teen leading the way for her younger of mind siblings. We tried to look past the past, but the world still spread the dreadful news of our beautiful home burnt down and our even more beauteous mother captured in a foolish man or woman's chains. We desperately wanted to search for her, but didn't have a simple idea of where to search for clues. Everything that once was of the castle, now lost or swept away to the pitiful wastelands of Rectorian properties. But for now, at this pleasing moment, everything was fine. We lived with a wise and powerful Elemenkido monk, one of the absolute greatest to fully perform the legendary Element Dragon whip. And as he originally sensed we were of Elementor nature, he thought to train us in the powerful skills and ways of him. And above all, we were treasured as his greatest students. To others, potent enemies or greatly known friends. But we didn't care, for right now, our hair was perfectly glistening and riding the windy waves of Yunia as we still walked through the upsetting yet mysterious alleys and corners of the city, playing tricks and childish games. We finally stopped at our most secret yet highest hiding spot of Yunia, Lion Mountain. It reminded us of our majestic towers, looking out to the horizon. Easy to say, it reminded us of home. We stayed there for hours until it was almost sunset, which was when the gong would ring for our evening classes. We usually took the long way around and always arrive five minutes late, but Amara had a easily recognized as 'sensational' plan. We would take the Erron Trail. It was forbidden for anyone to even step foot in there, but the long way was looking as if we would take reprimands again for the thirtieth time. We all quickly walked to the entrance, with me trying to control Chloe's outbursts of either pain or excitement along the way. We immediately stopped and looked at what we would face. Amara cracked a devious smile and dangled her sandal ed foot over the imaginary line separating us from definite danger. We warned her not to, babbling off about ancient anecdotes and terrifying myths of the trail. But she was too stubborn to listen, as she went farther to take the first step in. Then..... SNAP!

We were foolish.....
