Hidden Realms

♢Prologue♢

The woman in the dark cloak clutched her child to her chest like her life depended on it as she ran through the dark forest. The woman knew she needed to - no had to get out of the forest before the sun set and the ominous moon came out, if she and the child were to survive the night.

Her hood fell revealing the woman's flowing golden locks and the circlet on her head. She hastily pulled the hood, concealing the crown and she continued running.

"Only a little farther my love, we are so close."The woman murmured to her child as she saw the edge of the forest.

The woman sighed with relief as she exited the forest and saw a tiny cottage. She smiled with glee knowing she had saved her child but the relief was short lived for she felt the hairs on the back of her neck prickle.

Her eyes widened when she realized what was coming and sprinted towards the cottage, willing the winds to lend her their speed.

The lady picked up her child and stared into the bright blue eyes of her daughter and kissed her forehead before setting her down infront of the little cottage.

She looked down at her child with tears glimmering in her eyes and said,"I will always love you, to the edge of the universe and back." She then undid the star pendent hanging around her neck, knealed and put it around her daughters neck.

She then knocked on the door of the cottage and a young couple answered the door,"M'lady what are you doing out here?" The young man asked.

The lady raised her hand to stop the man from talking and explained her predicament and her plan. The couple happily agreed with her plan and took the child and went back into their home.

The woman walked back towards the forest into the fading light of day.

"Evangaline"

The woman stopped and stepped into a fighting stance preparing for what was to come.

She whirled around towards the direction of where the voice was coming from,"Brutice,"as she said his name he appeared infront of her.

He stood tall with eyes as black as pitch with fangs gleaming as he smiled,"Evangaline, did you really think you could get away? Even after I killed your beloved king?"he chuckled deeply.

Evangaline glared at him as she took off her hood,"No but I was hoping to buy some time."She said grimly.

The man's smile disappeared and realization was clear on his face,"Where is the princess?"his eyes turned red with anger,"Where is she?!"

Evangaline chuckled for she and only she knew her daughter was well on her way with the young couple to another realm, beyond Brutice's reach.

So with that thought in mind she snarled,"Where you will never find her." And launched herself at the man with the fangs, to fight to the death.
