I live in a country of war. A place no one escapes.
Trapped on one of eight Islands.
Pirates roam, blood covers the streets, people cower in their homes, where everyone has a short life.
This home of myn is called Naiads Island. See the person with the shield? thats me, a boy, Im only 18. Im considered elderly, here. Im the protector, the saviour the hero, the one that defeats the pirates. The dragons, the zombies, the evil!
Ok, so maybe my best friend's a horse, and rather lonely, but still, I prevent a few thousand deaths a year.
I have a mission. To save the princess, and NO, I dont like her, shes definitely not my type.
Because I know her secret.
Her true form.
This is how my story begins. I went, to my father, Nason of Solemn Island, and asked him to make me a teleport potion. My father did as I asked, and I teleported to where the princess was held captive. I brought her back through the castle, but she tried to escape into the water.
She had fallen pregnant somehow, and I didnt want the child to be in any danger, so I kept her captive until she had the child.
I suppose she didnt appreciate it at first, but after a few weeks she fell in love with me, I didnt recognise it at first, but then the signs of true love showed. After another three weeks she had the child, a beautiful little girl, (and by little I mean little.)
A fairy was born, whose name was Gertha. Gertha was the one to put an end to madness on all of the Islands, and Her mother, Gertha and I all lived happily together as a family in the now peaceful Islands.
