"Darling!"

"Darling!!!"

Darling slowly turned her head from the side and slowly flutter her eyes to open back up.

She was lying against a burning tree as she felt pain throughout her body and blood going down her face and between her lips.

"Wha..." she said softly as she saw a mysterious man coming up to her in the distance.

He had a red armor suit on that looks rusty with fire burns and bruises with no helmet in sight.

He bends down slowly to look at Darling's face as she tries to look at him through the pain.

His black hair with red streaks going through was messy with blood running down his face with scars. What captivated her in her current view was his sharp and worried eyes.

He looks so devastated as he looked down at her as he grabbing both of her hands to slowly lift her from the tree.

"Come on, Darling. We got to get out of here, the dragon is destroying the school." said the mysterious man as he looks at her striaght into her eyes to see if she gain consciousness yet while standing on her own feet.

In the distance, the mysterious man heard screams behind him and his eyes widened once he turned around.

He saw some of his high school classmates running away from the burning school building and a roar coming from it.

"We don't have time, we have to go!" shouted the man at Darling, making him dropped her right hand and start running with her behind still connected with her left.

As they were running, Darling's memory suddenly came back as she took at look at her surroundings. Trees bruning down in fire, the sky being red, dark, and gloomy, and her classmates screaming in the distance trying to escape.

The worst part is when she look behind her right shoulder as she saw her beloved school being burned to the ground by the dragon with their fire.

She didn't know how she got here in the first place but her ambition and determination kicked in. It made her want to pursue what she was made to do in her lifetime: Fight and protect the kingdom as the next generation's greatest knight.

Darling stopped running and pulled her hand away from the mysterious man who she yet know his name. She started running back to her school as she pulled out her sword from behind her back with a determined face.

"Darling! Come back! Please, don't do this!" the mysterious man shouted at her as he started going after her.

"I have to!" shouted Darling responding to him while looking back quickly before looking back in front. She runs up a big rock near the smaller dragon flying towards it. "It's my destiny!"

Darling jumps from the top of the rock and her life starts to feel slowed down as she flies through the air in slow motion before landing on the small dragon, making time resume in regular motion again. She grunts to lead the smaller dragon forcedly to the dangerous dragon that's destroying her school. Darling yells in rage as she raises her sword from behind her back to swing towards the dragon.
