Three sisters and a brother, they are the four children of King and Queen of Villeria. A country placed meeting her west-border at sea and her east-border in contact with her three neighbours; Aravia, Grinden and Talinn. All are living at peace with each other, still. The youngest of the royal family Kendrick, Averill is her name, isn't your typical princess. She is always wandering through the woods; often you can find her riding her horse Mellon there. Also she practices. No... not sewing, or learning how to drink a cup of tea... But practicing her fighting skills. With her bow, knives, sometimes with a sword and combat fighting she is one of the best of the country. When she was younger she found out about the King's Rangers. She always founded them very interesting. The Rangers are the eyes and ears of the King. They protect the country from thieves, traitors and murderers. She finds the whole idea of saving peoples lives like them very interesting. When she was about ten years old she started to realise that that is what she wants to do and be. Averill was never the sitting down type of girl. From the day she could walk she wanted to be outside, even if her clothes got dirty. Her mother wasn't quite happy with her in those times, but it didn't bother Averill. She is the youngest and has always felt like the least important one. When she met Ranger Vinnick at age ten, everything changed. She secretly met up with him and he teaches her everything about the Rangers and helped her be the best Ranger in the country. She had a long way to go, but he already knew that she was different than others form the day she could crawl through the castle. Vinnick, you see, is one of the best friends of King Cyneric. Cyneric doesn't know though, that she comes to him almost every day. It's all a big hell of a secret. But Averill sees it as an adventure. But what happens when an adventure becomes reality and reality becomes a bit scary...?
