Description
Adrian's screams rang out once again, cutting through the tension like a knife. The queen turned to face Alina who was frozen in place. The queen's eyes burning with hatred and malice whilst still holding Adrian up using a form of dark magic. Alina felt a shiver run down her spine as she locked gazes with the masked queen. At that moment, everything seemed to stand still as the queen regarded her with a deadly calm. And then, with a sudden movement, Adrian fell to the ground, his limp body was wracked with pain and draped in smoky black magic. "Why hello little lord." A malicious grin spread across the queen's face, stretching her lips into a twisted mockery of a smile. "It seems you have escaped."
But as she looked at him, something inside her snapped. An all-consuming rage bubbled up from within her, fueled by grief and sorrow at the sight before her. "Stop it," Alina screamed out.
"I'm sorry but I cannot," The Queen erupted into a demonic laugh, a sound that was both chilling and terrifying. It was as if she had lost all sense of reason and sanity, driven mad by the power and the darkness that flowed around her. She raised her hand as if she was going to capture Alina with her mana but Adrian grabbed the queen's arm in one swoop and shoved the queen to the ground.
Before either could speak Adrian yelled out, "Run!" His voice rose to a demonic scream as his eyes flared back to a fiery red. His tone a desperate plea to get away before it was too late.
"I won't leave you, Adrian." Tears streamed down Alina's face as she cried out in frustration and agony.
"If not for me, then for Eren. Save the orphans, save your friends, save the village! Run!"
Alina had awakened in a small broken down village. She was saved by two guards. When questioned about her past, the only thing she can remember was the name Alina Lazuli. She faces trials and adventures which she must surpass to help the village thrive, but to discover who her past is.
