Title: The deadly battle to come

Darkness everywhere. My head spins at the news I had just recieved. How could they do this to me? They say I'm good, but not the best. So why did they send me on this mission. They needed someone with stronger experience. They needed someone who could control their powers. I am a measly apprentice with minut experience in the field. They needed a master at magical arts. But what can I do to stop them from ruining my life? Nothing.

My head whips around at the knock on my door. My heart beat quickens, are they here for me already? I almost fainted at the thought. I will die. If not by their training, but by my enemies. They are ruthless and cruel, and have no part in this world.

Another knock comes. I must face my fate. I must be courageous and brave, otherwise I wont have a high chance at surviving.

I arise from my chair, and slink to the door. My heart beat racing as I hold the knob. I turn it and squeak the door open. A tall body-builder stands in the door frame.

"Miss Martina, you are summoned by his highness, prince Belom." He stalked away, leading me to my fiance's quarters.

 I feel like I might faint. Why must this happen to me? That's when we reached his door. I moved closer and turned the knob. A sweet masculien aorma filled the room. I looked around for Belom. That's when I saw him sulking in the corner. I could feel tears threatening to take over my eyes.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. He looked me in the eyes.

"Must you go now?" He questioned.

"Yes." I nodded to him.

"With out me, we will have no chance at winnign the war against the russain army. But do not worry, I will be back withing a fortnight.

"Promise me you will be safe." Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Of course," I responded, my voice filled with conviction.

The fortnight will pass by slowly but when I return, I will wed my prince. And we will live happily together, forever.
