  Zero walked through a Forest at night trying to clear his mind. Princess Rowan was running from a guard. Zero keeps walking trying to calm down after crying very recently. Rowan, dashing for dear life trips and falls. The guard grabbed Rowan's wrist a forcefully "drags" her to the gate infront of the Giagantic castle that was only several meters behind them. " Let me go Marchamy!" Demanded Rowan. "Princess dont be stupid!"he yelled " Just do your god damn job!" he throws her on the ground and walks off pissed. Rowan begins to cry as her wrist was bruised from his tight grip.

  Zero heard her cry and hid in a tree next to her. She hears something moving in the trees. " H..hello?" She asked wiping her tears, a bit terrified of what lurks around in the shadows of forest " w..who's there?" she picks up a sturdy stick and holds it up like if it were a sword. Zero eyes glow a golden amber and he jumps out of the  tree. Rowan screams. " Sorry princess." He says as his beautiful amber eyes stop glowing. Rowan terrified froze with fear. Her legs trembled and her body went numb. She thought for sure she was a gonner till he placed his warm hand on her cold cheek, wiping her tears from her eyes he asked " princess, if u dont mind me asking, why were u running from that guard." She answered in a terse and shakey voice " h...he's a cruil man sir." Zero looked into her eyes and saw fear and sadness. "My name is Zero Arden" he says as he bows, " R...Rowan Garnale" she said gently

  He sees the bruise around her wrist and holds his hand out, " Princess may i see ur hurt wrist" she nods lightly and puts her wrist in his hand, shaking he starts chanting a spell                        " Ancient Moons, lend your power.
Bring me peace this very hour.
I call upon your strength and might.
Bless your child this secret night." Her wrist started healing and it stung just a bit. She looks at her healed wrist " How did u do that Zero?" She asked in awe never seeing any magic like that. He smiled and said " My dear Princess its moon magic; a really rare type of magic used for a whole bunch things." They smile at each other very lightly. Rowan asked "can u show me away out of the forest?" He replied kindly "yes Princess there are many ways out yet very dangerous creatures that lurk." He grabed her hand and walked through the forest guiding her to the edge of the forest to the beginning of a village. They sad there goodbyes as she entered the small village. She found a small inn. She checked in and told them she might be there for about 3 days and 2 nights. The inn keeper gave her keys to room 23.

  When she entered the room she was staying at she saw two neat beds. She said to herself in a whisper, "he helped me... i need to help him getout of thoses woods." (You can pay just 5 cents a day for Zero to get out of those woods and into a smol house XD) she dashed out the door to the woods were she met Zero. She called for his name but there was no answer. She entered the forest scared and continued to call for him. He jumped down from a tree and scared the living hell out of her, he began to laugh as she was as pale as a ghost. " cat got ur tongue?" He asked as he purred. Throws a cloak at him " here take this and follow me." He puts the cloak  on and follows behind her into the village. They soon entered the room she was staying in and she pointed to the bed next to the window "You'll be sleeping there while i sleep here, ok," she says that while pointing at the two beds. She went to the bed next to the mirror and laid down. Zero went to the bed were the window was at and smiled. They both faced the wall and fell asleep.
