"Take this," the silver of the knife glints in the moonlight, "you will have to slice his throat before midnight."

She had seen him on a ship. Hair flying majestically, eyes glinting with the ocean and crown hanging from a rope tied to his pants.  

She didn't know him, but she yearned for him. Yearned for legs to get to him, for she knew he wouldn't like her fin. 

But the legs came at a price. A price she was willing to pay until the price got too high.
 In exchange for her legs, get the mer-king's head.

Would she kill, all for a prince she has never spoken to?

Red Hood

6 parts Complete

(COMPLETED) No one knew his real name. No one saw his face. He was a skilled knight in training who always wore a red hooded cloak during the training sessions. So the other knights called him Red Hood, completely oblivious to the fact that he was a woman in disguise. Even though the kingdom of Isalgia has started to accept the concept of female knights, Aurora feels they aren't treated with respect like the men. So she takes up the identity of Red Hood to prove that women can be just as good as men. Her luck picks up when the prince requests her help for a mission to save the king. When the king of Isalgia falls mysteriousely ill, his only son, Prince Isaac, takes it upon himself to find the cure which lies in the Enchanted Forest. He takes four of his most trusted knights with him - including Red Hood - and the five of them must brave deadly creatures and a ruthless enemy that will do anything to make sure they do not succeed.
