Savior (A Yogscast Fairytale)

Prologue

~3 years ago~

A 7-year-old princess is exploring the forest near her castle when she feels someone watching her. The girl spins around and yells out, for an Enderman is standing in front of her. The princess has a bodyguard, who lifts his sword and attempts to kill the Enderman. In a flash of purple, the sword is in the guard's back, and the princess watches in horror as her old friend slowly bleeds to death. The Enderman is now holding the guard's sword, and it pushes the girl against a tree, holding the blade to her throat. It is about to kill her when a young boy appears, throwing a ball of purple fire at the Enderman's back. The Enderman turns and throws the sword at the boy, cutting his arm. Blood flows out, and guards who heard the princess's screams flood into the clearing. One of them kills the Enderman, and it's sword slips, cutting another slash in the boy's arm. He falls to the ground, screaming in pain. A guard grabs the boy and disappears, and the princess never sees him again. But she always carries the image of the unknown boy who saved her life, her unknown savior.

~Present Day~

A 10-year-old boy is wandering the streets when a man grabs his shoulder. Unaware of the danger, the boy kicks him and tries to run. The man grabs him again, punching the boy in the stomach. The boy stops struggling and finally sees the man. He squirms in the man's hold when he sees his identity. The man is a guard, and is most likely taking the boy to a slave trade, which is where all orphans go. And the boy is an orphan. The boy struggles and squirms, but he can't break free. He teleports away from the man, ending up a few feet away. He runs and runs, but eventually trips on the broken streets. Three guards are on him in a flash, and one of them ties his hands with rope while the other two hold him down. The leader tries to remove the boy's black mask, which covers his lower face, but cannot. The guard grabs the boy's arm and cuts a star symbol into it, marking the boy as a magic user. The boy is taken to the slave trade, where the guards ties him up like the others. He is sold to a slave breaker, who makes unruly or new slaves obedient, and tries to destroy magic in slaves. The boy is taken away, and hit every time he struggles. He doesn't give up, teleporting away from the guards, and toward the castle.
