She was ripped away from him
Drowned in the cold hands of death
But he would do anything
To have her back

Once upon a time a winged girl fell in love with a winged prince. She was kind and beautiful but also young and naive. She gave her hear...

If she wanted to leave, then I wouldn't stop her.
If he made her happy,
Then that's enough."

I'm lost. At least I think I am.
The palace was way behind me but there hadn't been any signs of life besides trees for miles. My back had started to ache from weariness and I don't think landing in the unknown trees below would be safe.
However my hope for civilization was answered when a distant trail of smoke broke through the trees. Not containing my relief I flew quickly over, taking cover above a tree. Peering through the thick branches a mini village greeted my line of sight. Loud laughter could be heard from the people who sat outside in small tables and a few lumberjacks joked as they hauled large pieces of wood out of the trees. They looked harmless as far as I could tell.
Slowly making my way from behind the tree, I walked out towards an old man who was passing out dishes of food. Upon seeing me, a large warm smile took over his face. "Welcome, miss! You want to try our new dish today?"
The warm smell of spices made my stomach rumble and I patted my pockets. Looking at the man, I smiled sheepishly. "Um, I'm sorry I don't have any money."
"No worries! It's on the house." He waved me towards an empty table and I slowly sat down. "You must be from the Western Kingdom."
"Yes, how do you know?"
He pointed at the bell attached to the side of my hair. "All the maids from the Western kingdom wear them. Here, I won't bother you now. You're probably starving." He handed me a fork and I thanked him.
"Oh yeah, do you know how to get to the Northern Kingdom?" I stopped him before he stepped back to his stall.
"Ah, from here just keep heading northeast." He pointed towards the highest building. "You will know when you get there. The Northern palace isn't hard to spot."
Quickly finishing off my meal and thanking the old man a million times, I continued on my way. There was something exciting about exploring a different world by yourself. If only you know where everything is so you wouldn't get lost.
The day's lights dimmed as the sun started to descend. A small sense of fear settled in the pit of my stomach. I've never been a fan of the dark.
Suddenly the chirping of nearby birds stopped. I clenched the folds of my sleeves and sped up as I peered around me. It was quiet. Too quiet.
Then a whizzing nearby and a sharp pain spread like wildfire from my right shoulder. I cry out and plummeted towards the ground. The branches yanked harshly on my hair and clothing as I fell. But the scratches that had been inflicted on my arms did not compare to the arrow currently sticking out of my shoulder like a damn flag.
