 At dawn on a fine christened morning, awoke Princess Kaley the sister of the king, Casimir. She got out of her king-sized baby blue bed with a canopy over it. She looked at the door as she knew like every other day someone would walk in, to wake her up. She waited for a moment and she was right an old butler came into the room and looked at Kaley with a tired look in his eyes, "Good Morning, Princess Kaley." Kaley rolled her eyes and nodded. "Good Morning." The butler placed down a tray that had a cup of tea on it. "King Casimir would like to see you, m'lady." Kaley looked at the ground and once the butler said that she looked up at him. "Al-alright." The butler left.

Kaley walked to the small round table in the corner of her room with two chairs at it and grabbed the tea. She took a sip and then got dressed into her armored corset. She went out of her room and down the hall to the huge flight of stairs and to the dining room where she thought she would find Casimir. "Casimir?" She said as she turned the corner. Casimir sat at the end of the long dining table. "Where's Esmeralda and the kids?" Casimir looked up at Kaley and then got up and walked closer to her. "This is not about my wife and kids. This is about you! Kaley! You can't keep going into that forest. It's dangerous!" Casimir said, enraged.

Kaley looked up at Casimir. She should have been threatened by her older brother who dressed in armor but she was not, she crossed her arms and looked to the left without moving her head just her eyes, "I will be fine. The forest is nothing but a bunch of trees." Casimir signed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose between his eyes and closed his eyes. "Sister, I really just don't want you to get hurt. That forest has had sightings of weird beings in it." He said with a worrisome look in his eyes.

"I know... I know..." Kaley, she said with despair. "It's just that the forest is calming and gets me away from you~," she said with a playful yet mean tone in her voice. Casimir smirked. "Kaley! I'm not that bad... Am I? You're worse anyway." Kaley grinned and giggled as Casimir did as well. "Just be safe. I trust you... but, I don't want anything to happen to you Kal." Kaley nodded.

"I'm going to go out." Casimir looked confused. "Uhhh... I Just want to go grab some food. Fresh food." Casimir was confused still but just went with it. "Okay. Be back by lunch please, I wanted to have a family meal since we don't get to do that much anymore." Kaley nodded as she started to back up to go out. She waved bye to Casimir and left. She ran to the stables near the huge castle and went into one of the stalls.

She grabbed the saddle and a throw blanket that hung on the wall of the stall and placed it on her horse, Aphrodite. She got Aphrodite's bridle and placed it over her muzzle. The horse let out a loud neigh as usual. Her and Aphrodite rode off to The enchanted forest of Abadeer. Once they arrived at the entrance of the forest, Kaley got off the horse. She took the horse to a tree and tied its bridle around the tree and then started eagerly walking North. She didn't exactly know where she was heading but she knew she wanted to be there
