The shouts of the guards filled the air as Lyra ran through the dark forest. Her heart pounded in her chest as her feet moved with grace and speed over fallen branches and crunching leaves. Behind her, she could hear her pursuers: the royal guard of the king. She had broken the law by refusing to marry the prince of the rival kingdom to reach a deal between the two kingdoms. It was not her will, and perhaps that was what affected the king the most. In an attempt to control the decision he had made, he tried to force Lyra to marry the prince, but she was not one to do as she was told. That's why she decided to escape from the castle that had been her home all her life. Perhaps it was a premeditated decision and not a hasty one, but the truth was that she could no longer return to the castle, so she needed to find a safe place to stay. As she ran, with much effort since she did not want to be caught by the violent soldiers, she saw a small stream winding through the forest and headed t
In the kingdom, the King was angry because one of his daughters had not fulfilled his wishes, it was something he did not expect to happen, and he wanted answers immediately. That's why he had called Lyra's sister, Rose, who had always been his right hand and helped the King in every way she could. Now she needed to prove that she was still on his side. "I don't understand why she escaped. She had told me that she was completely willing to fulfill the King's will, but it was all lies. Don't worry, she will pay for what she did," Rose tells the King. "It hurts my heart to think that she hates me. She didn't even tell me how she felt, but it's okay. We cannot allow her to stay outside the kingdom as if nothing happened. We must show that we are the authority here and that there will be consequences if we are not obeyed," says the King. "Of course, my lord. The troops are already deployed, so they will soon discover where she is and bring her before you," says Rose benevolently. "Of c
"Look, Miss Rose. An intruder is approaching the castle. He's walking straight to the gate, and... it can't be! It's Miss Lyra," says a guard who was watching Lyra through a telescope. "Let me see! It can't be. Go and catch her," says Rose, taking the telescope from the guard. The castle guards went down to where Lyra was and told her to stop. In no time, Lyra had more than ten guards with weapons pointing at her, to which she only responded in submission. The guards took her inside the castle, where the king and his sister were waiting for her in the main hall. The king was sitting on his throne, and when he saw Lyra, his reaction was more than surprising; it was one of joy. "Lyra, I knew you were going to come back. I'm so glad you're alive," says the king approaching her. "Dear king, I'm so sorry for everything I did. I was just scared for a moment. I hope you can forgive me so I can marry the prince and solve the problem between the kingdoms," says Lyra in a submissive voice.
Now that Lyra had escaped from the castle once again to help the rebellion that shared her purpose, Rose had to bear a great burden that she did not expect to experience. The next day, when everyone found out that Lyra had escaped, desperation began to invade the bodies of everyone present in the castle, including the king. "I can't believe she did that. I will never forgive her, but I won't give her the chance to bother me, so I'll do what a good king would do, save his reputation. Rose, put on the dress, today is your wedding day, congratulations," says the king, who was seated on his throne while the other members of the kingdom were listening. "Yes, sir, I'll do it right away," says Rose, who leaves the place to go to a room and put on the dress. It was traumatic for her, so this only corrupted Rose's heart and now she only wished for revenge. But she couldn't do much, so she married the prince who had arrived at the castle excited for his wedding. And so, now the kingdom had de
The fight brought peace to the territory of the werewolves, after much discord among the multiple species in this realm, one of them had declared itself the strongest and was being led by Lyra and Alexander.Alexander walked among the corpses of the vampires, walking slowly as he had been injured during the battle, but he had no regrets and if he had to do it again, he would do it without hesitation. He approached Lyra, who was watching as the sun began to rise over the mountains, and said the following:"This only means one thing, Lyra," Alexander's tone was soft."What do you think it means, my loyal friend?" Lyra replied harshly, her scars giving her a more aggressive demeanor."The vampire tribe will want revenge, their pride will make them do things we can't even imagine... we need to be prepared," Alexander exclaimed with concern."You're right, but by defeating them, we showed that we are capable of working as a team, so any threat that comes our way will have to do so with eno
"I appreciate your loyalty, but I want you to prove it to me. It's not because I don't trust you, but when it comes to battles, especially when it comes to respect, winning has to be a sure thing, and it takes character.""I understand. What's the test you will give me? I am quite intrigued.""Lyra, the high royalty has noticed what happened. They like to have everything under control and especially under surveillance, so when they found out about our victory, they didn't hesitate to invite us to their kingdom to talk, I suppose, but I know there is something else.""Why do you think so, Master Kahiah?""They must be feeling threatened, so we must show them that we do not want any trouble. Do you think you can go and clarify this misunderstanding?""Maybe we should let them have it. They have not only been doing injustices against the people but also want to impose their authority on all neighboring tribes. They are creating a tyranny!" Lyra says with a concerned tone."I understand t
The night passed quickly and the rebels fell asleep as soon as they saw the sun rise. They needed rest to tackle the next mission with bravery because otherwise it would mean having weak warriors, and especially ones who were a little drunk.But the werewolves were aware of this, and although they celebrated a little wildly, Lyra was always attentive and very controlled in any situation that could get out of hand. Fortunately, there were only laughs and an atmosphere of love and tranquility.The next day, when it was already midday, Lyra was preparing things for her journey. The journey from the tribe to the kingdom was a bit long, so taking provisions and especially weapons would serve her well to be at ease and assume any challenges that might arise.After packing everything in her backpack, she gets ready by putting on her comfortable outfit and with an optimistic smile, accepts her next challenge with all the intention of winning. She leaves her cabin and the first thing she notic
Or so they thought. On a part of the road, they came across an overturned carriage as if it had crashed. Upon detecting it, Lyra knew that something was going wrong. "Hold on, guys. Marcus, do you detect any threat?" says Lyra in a low tone of voice. "To be honest, I only detect the smell coming from that carriage, it's an unpleasant smell that doesn't let me detect any threat..." says Marcus with sweat on his forehead."Yeah, same here," says Rogelio. Lyra couldn't perceive anything either until she realized that her sense of smell wasn't going to indicate that there was a threat, but rather her hearing was going to detect the intruders. As in the depths of the forest, laughter approached and branches broke from all sides.Upon noticing this, the warriors took defensive combat positions, a way in which the five could cover their friend's back. Lyra ordered them to be very attentive because they had just fallen into the enemy's trap. The five did not know where the enemies would come
