Explosions resounded all around the kingdom. That's what Harley woke up to.
Battle cries, screams and the sound of metal hitting metal was the only things that he could hear.
Scared and confused, he sat on his bed trying to find the source of the noise. Suddenly all the castle shock, which send him to the floor with incoming panic.
Two seconds later, his mother came banging the door with his sister half asleep in her arms alongside a bag.
-Harley! Grab your things! Put your necessities inside a bag and take Morgan!- Pepper exclaimed
-Mom? What's going on?- he asked fearfully
-There's no time for explaining! Pack your things, take Morgan, take your horse and go! Michelle and Edward will be waiting for the both of you at the entrance of the forest!- she rushed before leaving his sister on the bed and rushing outside
Harley followed his mother's orders and packed a few pairs of clothes, took Morgan and her bags in his arms and left his bedroom. While jogging his way to the stables many guards passed him, all armed and running to the fronts of the castle.
He started panicking when a pair of guards passed them dragging a knight by his arms, all bloodied and what seemed like the half of a sword stuck into his side.
When they finally reached the stables the full imagine stuck him. Houses where on fire. The clanging of metal were the guards swords hitting the enemy's. The screams were from the civilians that were being attacked.
He prepared his horse quickly, put everything in order and then he rode out of there while Morgan sat in front of him.
He avoided the opposite fighters that were controlling and approached the limit with the forest. A few meters in front of them were Michelle and Edward, waiting for them like his mother had told them.
-MJ, Ned, what's going on?- he asked worried
-We need to go- was the answer he got of Ned
The sound of an explosion resounded all around the kingdom making the turn their heads in order to see the huge fire ball that took upon the air.
-Now!- exclaimed MJ before starting her horse followed close by the other two –We have to reach the intersection! Shuri will met us there!
-Shuri? But shouldn't she be at her kingdom?!- asked Harley more confused
-Not right now!- answered Ned
They rode for a few minutes until they reached the intersection of paths were a loan horse waited. Mounted on it sat a girl with her hair full of little braids, brown skin and bright green eyes. Her worried expression melted away when she saw them coming.
-Guys! I was so worried that you got holed up in the cross fire!- she exclaimed
-What do you mean by that?-
-The Red Army, they attacked every kingdom!- she was getting nervous –They were planning on occupying the terrains but we are the heirs so they were looking for us and...!- she started rambling
-S! You have to calm down!- exclaimed Harley, now worried –They were after us?-
-Yes- responded MJ with her face blank –We need to get as far away as possible from any kingdom-
The sound of horses reached their ears from behind them. When they turned, the sight of Red Nights greeted them. They were shouting around to get them. Some of them had their swords raised with the aim of stabbing someone.
-WE NEED TO LEAVE!- shouted Michelle shooting an arrow to one of the dudes at the front
They started galloping, as fast as the horses would go. The shouting followed them making them more nervous than ever. Morgan had her eyes shuttled close, burring her head into her brother's chest hoping for them to go away.
-LOOK!- Ned pointed in front of them
An old looking bridge of ropes sat in the middle of an opening in the earth. The part of the forest on the other side looked dull and scary.
-LET'S PASS IT!- proposed Harley
As fast as they could they passed it. Once on the other side, Michelle took out her dagger and cut the ropes, making the bridge come down. The Red Knights reached the cliff, stopping dead in their tracks at the sight of the destroyed bridge.
-Let's go!-
They followed the path, not noticing the warning sign of not entering the Cursed Forest.
