In the North, it is known that the dragons are still revered, and those who have received the greatest gift of all; the blessing of the dragon, end up becoming the greatest of heroes. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4WesQFFiT2
In the North, they value honor, chivalry, and loyalty.
In the North, were the hardiest of folk, known for their strength of both mind of and body...
Yet it all came tumbling down when summer finally came, and the two armies from the south and the west converged on the Northerlands, crushed them, and then turned on each other. In the battle against the western army, Zaraline could see it from the top of her tower where she was forced to stay during the battle... Her father riding out, his pristine white fur cape draped around his shoulders, the head of the wolf it was taken from fashioned into a hood.
He was impaled by a throwing spear.
They did not get the chance to march on the castle, as they in turn were slaughtered by Emperor Nautilus's army from the south. The Emperor strode into castle Mavereth, slaughtered whomever they could not take as a slave, and pillaged.
Mother came and got me, and we attempted to flee, but it was no use. We were caught before we could reach the servant's quarters and escape through the back of the castle. It was dishonorable, but we were the only one's left of Thorvard's line. We had to stay alive.
The soldiers pierced my Mother's heart and tossed her aside like a chicken bone. "Too old," they proclaimed, before setting their eyes on me, trapped against a cold stone wall and terrified for my life.
"The Emporer's son might like this one though. She's the princess yeah?" He looked at me and said, "you're the princess, aren't you?" Yet, he already knew who I was. I could tell. Red hair is a memorable shade.
They laughed when all I could manage was a small squeak of terror. And then they snatched me up, and took me away.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAddpYKkqgH
