War Truly is a terrible thing, it can tear apart families, destroy homes, kill thousand and both physically and mentally injure countless more. All because those in power have had a disagreement, or a group of people somewhere are being a little too stubborn. But one of the worst things about war, no matter how hard you try, a single person cannot do anything to stop it.

The sound of footsteps rang out loud and clear as a young woman ran frantically through the corridors of the blazing castle, the light that the fire had produced lit up the womans face, her chocolate-brown eyes darting around the corridoors, occasionally dodging out the way of falling debris as she searched for the next part of her escape route, the woman new the castle very well, as she had lived there for most of her adult life, but everything looks a little different when it is engulfed in flames.

The sound of these relatively light footsteps were soon followed by
Some very heavy ones as three men men, two covered in crimson red armour and another in a black robe, chased the woman through the winding corridoors and passages that she went through, desperately trying to get away from these men, who continued to follow her with no signs of stopping, the womans Dark brown hair blowing around as she took a sharp turn, beggining to frantically clamber up a staircase, bursting out onto a large balcony, looking upon the setting sun out in the distance was masked by a plume of black smoke that billowed out of a tower below, here's once again scanning the balcony in search of an exit, but, nothing, she was trapped among the flames, the sound of footsteps fast approaching.

"Well well well... it seems that you've finally run out of places to run, haven't you, Empress?"

Said a deep, raspy voice with a smug tone, the figure of the man in the black robe stepping out from behind the two men in armour, clutching a book close to his voice, before beggining to leisurely walk towards the Woman, who had stopped dead in her tracks.

"Well, you've got me now, what are you going to do, kill me?"

Retorted the Empress in a soft, Italian accent, with a hint of annoyance in her tone, not fear, or anger, Just mild annoyance.

"Kill you? Oh no no no..... if we killed you, we would be executed the second we returned, we've been given strict orders to bring you back Alive"

The man in the robe continued, the smugness still in his voice as he stopped behind the Empress, signaling for the two men in armour to come forward, which they did.

"Alive? Why would your leader want me alive? What are you going to do to me?"

She then asks, a little bit of panic bleeding into her voice as the two men in armour grabbed her by the arms, stopping her from getting away, which she did attempt, but was forcefully kept in place.

"All in good time, my dear Empress, all in good time...."

The man in the robes said as he opened the book, a bright red Magic circle suddenly forming under the four, as the sounds of more footsteps could be heard on the stairs, two men in blue soldiers uniforms bursting out onto the balcony to see the Four

"E-Empress Marzia!"

One of them called out in alarm, a blinding light shining from where the four stood, causing the men to cover there eyes, it took a few moments for the light to clear, but, as it did, the men's eyes widened, shocked at what had happened.

The Two men in armour, the man in the robe and Empress Marzia had all vanished
