"Shad, please let me go." I beg. He laughs at my distress.

"No, Adira. You know your place here and you will stay." Shad answers not even looking at me. For the hatred of Irene, why can't he see things my way? I stand up and walk away. I'm tired of having to stay in my place. My job is to sit there and look pretty. After all, only Sasha and I are the only female shadow knights.

I walk out of Shads fortress. I can see Gene and Sasha waiting for me. (Gene and Sasha are Aphmaus characters as well!)

"Heh, get over it kid. You're obviously too precious to be set out into the real world." Gene laughs. I glare at him. He doesn't know my power. Shad is basically my stepfather. My real father was murdered by humans. And so was my mother. That's why Shad doesn't want me to go outside of the nether. Because if Sasha dies and I die then in the next war if the shadow knights loose there won't be anymore shadow knights to reproduce.

"Shut it Gene." I snap. "You do know you're sassing one of the shadow knights which is in extremely high power?" I grin. Sasha sighs.

"I do have to agree with Adira. It's not exactly fair Adira can't leave but I can." Sasha explains. Gene stands down.

"I suppose." He mumbles.

"I know he'll give in soon. I don't want to be a lady or a princess. I want to be a warrior like you guys." I frown. I know shads games and I don't want to play.

"Were not exactly warriors. I mean, we never go out anymore anyways. But I did hear that there's a new lord in Phoenix Drop. And she's a girl." Gene smirks.

Wow, Phoenix Drop won't be abandoned anymore. That means once they have higher power another war will be started. I hope I can fight them.

Someone taps my shoulder. I turn around. It's Zane. He's a good friend of mine.

"Adira, Shad would like to speak to you." He says bluntly. I nod and walk over.

"Yes?" I ask once I arrive to shads throne.

"Adira, I have made up my mind. You will NEVER leave the nether. I know you were fantasizing about leaving AGAIN. Even though it was my orders to never even dream of it." He strictly says.

"You read my mind again? What the hell is wrong with you?! I have every right of freedom in my head and now you're ruining it?!" I become upset. He ruined my life.

"I have every right to read anyone's mind. Let me read your friends minds right now. Gene is thinking about you. Sasha is thinking about Gene and Zane is thinking about murder. Like a normal shadow knight." He replies. I roll my eyes.

"I hate you.." I whisper to myself.

"What was that?" He has gotten even more upset.

"I HATE YOU." I yell and run out of the fortress. I wasn't lying when I said I hated him. And now I'm definitely leaving. 

I run past Gene and Sasha. I can hear them following me. I stop at the portals. Maybe this was a cruel way to get me to leave. Maybe this was part of shads game. I don't care anymore though.

"Adira don't do it. We heard what happened in the fortress." Sasha tries to sweet talk me.

"I DONT CARE. IM LEAVING. MAYBE I WILL MEET AND KILL THE NEW LORD OF PHOENIX DROP BEFORE EVERYONE. THEN ILL BECOME A LEGEND AND SHAD WILL BE THE ONE BOWING DOWN TO ME." I yell. "I-I'm tired of his games." I continue after I calmed down a little.

"At least let us come with you." Zane says. I didn't know Zane followed too.

"No." I answer. I turn around. I look at Sasha Zane and Gene. They all have a look of worry all over their faces.

"... Goodbye." I wave slowly as I enter the portal. Everything goes black but I'm still conscious. Pain is spreading from my feet upwards. How does anyone do this? I open my eyes as the pain stops. I'm in a cave. Werewolves are guarding. one of them turns around.

"A-Adira?! Princess of the shadow knights?!" He shouts. Of course I'm known as a princess.

The other wolf guards turn around. Might as well take my role as princess.

"Yes, it is I. Now back down." I order. Man, being in charge is fun. They all bow on one knee?

"Excuse me, Princess Adira, what brings you to earth?" A werewolf asks.

"I'm here to go to Phoenix Drop. Does anyone know the way there?" I ask.

"You should go to our leader. He knows." Another werewolf says. I nod and walk out of a cave into another.

As I walk into the bigger cave I see more guards. They're all taken back by my presence. Was I really that scary? As I get into the main area I see a larger werewolf. Must be the Leader.

"Princess Adira, I knew you'd come." The leader states.

"Where is the kingdom of Phoenix Drop." I ask.

"Why don't I show you." He answers. He laughs deeply. I laugh as well.

"Don't fall for his Tricks Adira. He will lie to you just to get you killed. Once you get to the enchanted forest he will tell you that you're safe and then he will abandon you. If you don't go into a normal form, you will die. Trust me." A mans voice says in my head. Who is this?
