War of Demons and Shields(under revision)

Destiny foretold

 Daisy needed to get out that night and she did. I was around a new days hour when she checked the halls. She had packed a few cloths and wore a green velvet cloak as she made her way out she didn't notice jemma followed. Daisy made her way in the shadows around the castle and to the edge of town. She slipped through the bars of the storm drain not hearing jemma follow. Daisy had to make it past the smell of decaying life but soon she reached the outside. It was beautiful, open fields illuminated by the full moons light. She started running and running until the walls disappeared behind darkness. She was free until someone tackled her sending them both tumbling down the hillside. She looked around and it was jemma.

"Jemma? What are you doing here?" Daisy helps her up.

"Me? Both. Its forbidden to be out here! We need to get back before something bad happens." The sound of howls came from a distance but not close.

"I'm not going back, I like it out here." Daisy grabs jemma's arms. "Breath it in, its fresh not intoxicated by a nearby stable. And the sound, listen to the wind run through the reeds." She looks around and strong winds makes wave like motion of the grass.

"Then I'm not leaving your side, besides the king would have my head knowing I just let you go alone." They continued on and heard thundering in the distance edging closer. 

"So why did you want to leave in the first place?" Jemma said to make some conversation as they walked along a dirt road and it started sprinkling.

"Phil wants me to marry someone in  three days. A guy two years younger than me might I add." The road started to run along a really shady forest. 

"Wow, arranged marriage?" Sounds of turned up leaves startled them but kept walking.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Robbie made his way to the waiting spot and the wolves ran back to camp. It was a swampy pond but it was quiet. As he started setting up he heard the storm drawing closer and it started sprinkling so he postponed getting everything out. He laid against his horse still wearing armor just waiting. Then the faintest sound of feminine voices riddled the air. He and lucy quietly followed along the forest line when he threw a rock to see their faces.

  One wore a red cloak and had light pale skin. The other had a velvet green cloak and black robe, she had a darker tone than the other. Something inside him itched in wonder. Its obvious one was a commoner,but the other was dressed well. Was she the princess? It was too easy, there had to be a trap. But he kept following them.

--------------------------------------------------------

"So, daisy, where are we going. because sooner or later we need to rest." The rain started to get harder and lightning shattered the sky. 

"We should take cover in the forest until the storm passes." Jemma just gave her wide eyes.

"Are you mad? Those are he shadowland woods. There are dark creatures in there." Daisy just pushed her into the thicket under a tree with black leaves but it blocked the rain. "Daisy, we shouldn't be here." Just then a terrifying roar hit the air behind them and a giant troll rose from the ground followed by others. The girls screamed and ran for out of the woods. Five trolls raced after their midnight dinner. 

Jemma tripped on a root and fell to the ground. Daisy stopped to help her friend but the trolls were right their. One of the trolls had a wolf that he ordered and it bit daisy's arm tearing it up. A thundering gallop came from behind and daisy hugged her friend tight watching the trolls when arrows rocketed by planting into one of the trolls and wolfs head. A man on a black horse jumped over them and fired more arrows at the trolls.
