After that I was full so I went to my room for a small nap..but when I woke up..I wasn't in my room..or the castle..I was in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. "Hello?" I stood up and looked around. It's was kinda dark. There was no noise except for the occasional rustle the trees as the breeze blows through. I hugged myself not getting a good vibe from this place. I whimpered and began to walk. As I did I heard voices. They mocked me and their whispery presence sent shivers down my spine. I tried to speak.

Strong voice and confident mindset. Nice..until.. "Oh heir to the throne..you cannot behead us. For there is no head to be." Whispery laughs sounded. I whimpered more and began to in as the whispers got closer. I heard my name but it was distant. It was called many times..and me mistaking it for the whispers I ran after. I ran blindly..then..fell off a cliff. "AHH!" Time seemed to slow down. I was..falling..I shut my eyes tight. Tears welling in my eyes. "This..this is it" if i..closed my eyes..maybe it would be quick..it wouldn't be painful. I heard a roar but didn't open my eyes. Just as death was to take me in its embrace..I felt strong wings wrap around me. I felt strong arms and sharp claws hold me close as a gust of wind shot me and my savor into the air. I didn't dare open my eyes..until I heard the soft coo and felt the comforting nuzzle of Asashin. I opened my eyes and he looked at me sharp. He was worried. I mean I thought I was gonna die..soooo...
