The Dark Silhouette

BLOOD of lifeless bodies scattered around the white angelic structure of Kingdom Parzatine. The tranquility and euphoria were wrecked by the screams and shattering of bodies that fight for their beloved kingdom. The elders and young ones that wanted to escape were being perished brutally by the heartless barbaric warriors of King Amari of Kingdom Perimoze, because they wanted to capture Princess Nieva. But King Narcissus and Queen Rieva didn’t want to give their blessings to let their only daughter marry a heartless king who only wanted to cause disaster in every kingdom.

King Narcissus and Queen Rieva knew that their daughter had a prophecy to carry the powerful child, and they didn’t want to let their precious daughter entangled to an incompetent king or leader, and they wanted their daughter to marry her mate or whoever the man in her fate was.

“Father! Mother!” Princess Nieva screamed as her parents fought towards the Barbaric General of the warriors of Kingdom Perimoze.

Her father, King Narcissus swayed his ice sword towards the Barbaric General that was holding a hammer. Her mother, Queen Rieva throwed some blazing shards to back up his father’s moves, and also to kill some barbaric warriors.

The Barbaric General mocked cheeky King Narcissus while they were clashing their weapons. “Stop battling, Rotten King. I only wanted your daughter to marry our king, and we would leave peacefully the Kingdom of Parzatine.”

“No! I wouldn’t let my precious daughter marry that fool king of yours,” King Narcissus stated with complete annoyance, and continued to fight.

The Barbaric General laughed in full sarcasm. “Princess Nieva would definitely be caged in the arms of our King Amari. Your fate was to become our queen. Surrender now while we had a little mercy for this ungrateful kingdom or else all of the Parzatines would be wiped out. The Kingdom of Perimoze would rule the whole world!”

“Defeat me and my ice sword before you mock my beloved kingdom. I wouldn’t show mercy on you! The prophecy wouldn’t fall in Perimoze, and definitely your imprudent kingdom would taste downfall. I would love to behead you and your idiot king!” King Narcissus retorted, and swayed his ice sword to slash the Barbaric General of the Kingdom Perimoze that had a smirk on his face.

“I would love to bring your head to my king. Warriors, don’t let Princess Nieva out of your sight or else you would taste the fury of our King Amari. Any intruder that would interfere would be perished. Show no mercy on any civilians of Parzatine.”

The barbaric warriors began to move when they heard their superior’s order at a fast pace that made the Parzatine warriors alert and clashed with them with the help of her mother, Queen Rieva.

“Princess, let’s go!” Her personal companion, Daffodil exclaimed and held her arms. Three warriors of Kingdom Parzatine ushered her to leave the palace, including her two personal companions. Tears shed from her eyes, because she didn’t want to run away without her parents while they were fighting for their lives. She wanted to help them, and protect her precious kingdom. Her chest ached with grief.

Her mother, Queen Rieva gazed at her direction and smiled, and mumbled through the wind that only she could hear. “Guard yourself in your journey towards peace and love. I love you, My Beloved Daughter. May the deity of ice bless you.”

Daffodil and Deja hooked their arms around her, and moved in a fast motion to guide her out of the castle to escape. With the help of the three warriors of Parzatine who were slashing out the enemies that would interfere with their moves. Another explosion was thrown by their foes that made their palace completely damaged, and many warriors from Kingdom Parzatine were perished. Loud cries and screams for help from the innocent civilians from their kingdom were heard everywhere. She couldn’t see where they were, because of the thick black smoke from the explosions. Her heart was shattered into pieces.

“Princess, please always wear your necklace with the fire amulet that was given by the deity to keep you in becoming a human, so that King Amari and even the foes from the other kingdom who wanted you wouldn’t trace you throughout our journey to escape,” said Deja, her other personal companion pulled her by arm, and they run away from the Palace using their agility, and they went to the trees to hide.

Her tears kept on falling while silently crying for her beloved kingdom that was wrecked. She wanted revenge, but King Amari was heartless and more powerful than her. She clenched her fists while shaking in anger.

‘Someday, King Amari would taste his own downfall, and also his kingdom. I wanted to see it with my own eyes.’

“We wished that you would be safe, Beloved Princess. We were truly blessed to serve and protect our only princess,” uttered by the Second Command General of Kingdom Parzatine, Bracken. He gave her a cloak that hid her identity and a necklace with a fire amulet.

“Thank you, Bracken. I wanted you to be safe too after this, and also some innocent civilians. All of you deserved to live out of here,” she mumbled, which made him smile, but there was gloomy in his eyes.

“Parzatine only wished that you would escape from here. We knew that once you crossed-paths to your mate or a powerful kingdom that would hide you from the foes. Our ice powers would fight for your safety until the end, Princess Nieva. Live, and be strong because that would be the happiness of every Parzatines.”

Daffodil and Deja nodded in unison and stated. “I agreed. We both swore under the reign of our beloved King Narcissus and Queen Rieva that we would do anything to keep you safe until our last breath, Princess.”

Her heart filled with so much euphoria by having a very loyal Parzatine that was willing to keep her safe and swore under the Kingdom of Parzatine, and also to her parents. Their breath hitched when they saw a monster from the Kingdom of Perimoze, and she knew that it was one of the pets of King Amari, and another batch of catapults of ball of fire flew above the air, and another loud booming sound was heard while the ice ground shook.

“This place wasn’t safe anymore for our Princess Nieva. Let’s defend her at all costs away from peril, until our last breath,” he stated. “Deja and Daffodil, assist Princess Nieva to escape safely, and go to the secret route towards the Kingdom of Cervantez. Me and my warriors would block the passage of the secret route to keep all of you safe.”
