It was early in the morning. Everything was so eerily quiet, it was so unusual. No chirping of birds. No small animals scurrying away to get their food. The skies are gloomy, full of dark clouds. And the wind is chilly, it was the start of winter. The ground are full of snow. It is not a great day to make a morning ride. But hence, there was a lone boy who is riding a majestic horse in the middle of a winter cold morning.

Prince Edmund and Kaylar, The Talking Horse, A Male Steed were on their way to the nearby town for some supplies for their trip to the woods. Kaylar was talking about his adventures in far-off lands, while Prince Edmund listened distractedly. Suddenly, there was a loud crack, and Prince Edmund was thrown off of Kaylar's back.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9pG6wLgng
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bPrfDgWJb
Josiah, The Jaguar, one of the Royal guards of Prince Edmund, was patrolling the area nearby when he heard the loud crack. He immediately sprinted towards the source of the sound, and as he approached, he could hear Kaylar's concerned voice.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tH8Y9L48T
As he burst onto the scene, he saw Kaylar tending to Prince Edmund, who was lying on the ground, dazed and confused. Josiah quickly assessed the situation and realized that Prince Edmund had fallen off Kaylar's back due to a broken saddle strap.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5TgMZzaa
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJcudahdL
Edmund groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his ankle.
"Are you hurt, Your Highness?" Josiah asked, his keen eyes scanning Prince Edmund's body for any signs of injury.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU06oZr3tw
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnItVGZ7deN
Kaylar and Josiah helped Prince Edmund up, and they both inspected the area where they had been walking. They noticed that a large tree branch had fallen onto the road, and that was what had caused the accident.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPxxLcaaj5
"Thankfully, it was just a minor incident," Kaylar said.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3izDXPejqG
"Thanks to you, Josiah and Kaylar, I'm okay."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMlpArg2Q
Josiah nodded, relieved that the Prince was not seriously hurt. "It's my duty to protect you, Your Highness. I'm just glad I was able to help."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1gEFJvX2

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA0pbxfn4v
As Kari, The Female Gryphon, soared high in the sky, keeping a watchful eye over Prince Edmund and his companions, she noticed the commotion down below. She saw Prince Edmund fall from Kaylar's back and watched as Josiah quickly came to his aid.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQKWcMu4M
Kari had always been protective of the royal siblings, especially Prince Edmund. She remembered how he had saved her and her baby from certain death when they were attacked by a group of hunters. Since then, she had felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him and had vowed to protect him at all costs.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzAmcZqZVr
As she descended towards the group, she could see that Josiah had already fixed the saddle strap and Prince Edmund was safe. She landed softly on the ground, her large wings folding neatly behind her.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcea1Obv9
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepm5FypZTo
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrA05G1x7b
Kari nodded, relieved to see that he was unharmed. She remembered how he had risked his own life to protect her and her baby and felt a deep sense of affection towards him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxZigvLSf
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEl4K3hvUZ
Edmund nodded, grateful for her protection. From that moment on, Kari continued to watch over the group from the air, always ready to swoop down and protect them if needed.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KA3yLuxO2
As they continued on their journey to the town, Kari felt a sense of pride and affection towards Prince Edmund. She knew that he was a kind and brave soul, and she would do whatever it takes to protect him, just as he had once protected her and her baby.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK9zdv6yHM
Kiro, The Alpha Wolf, leader of the Royal guards of Prince Edmund, stood silently in the shadows with his team of elite guards. They had been trailing behind Prince Edmund and Kaylar, keeping a watchful eye out for any potential threats.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lESehd1Rt
As they observed from a distance, they saw Kaylar rush over to Prince Edmund, who had fallen off his back. They watched as Josiah, The Jaguar, came to their aid and helped them fix the saddle strap.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2SrtE6MqU
As Kaylar rushed to Prince Edmund's side, Alpha Kiro watched closely, ready to spring into action if needed. He could see that Josiah had already come to their aid, and he felt relieved that the situation was under control.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY0tZ9AJKw
Suddenly, Alpha Kiro spotted the broken saddle strap and saw why Prince Edmund fall off Kaylar's back. He immediately signaled to the other guards to remain in the shadows and observe their surroundings for any potential threats.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFmO1VKuVe
He had a keen sense of danger and was always on high alert. He scanned the area, looking for any signs of potential danger, but everything seemed calm.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4hj31gtoj
Once he was sure that there was no immediate threat, he turned to his team of guards and gave a nod. The other guards, who had been keeping watch over the town, quickly made their way towards Alpha Kiro.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L9bNySd0g
He relayed the situation to them and ordered one of the guards, Kayra, The Female Cheetah, stepped forward and Alpha Kiro gestured for her to approach.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3xo08qHe
"Kayra, I want you to go back to the castle and inform the royal siblings that Prince Edmund will not be returning soon. Let them know that he is alright, but he wanted to stay in the town for a while and explore," Alpha Kiro instructed, his voice firm and reassuring.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmyIFFC83u
Kayra hesitated for a moment, her eyes fixed on Alpha Kiro's imposing figure. She wanted to stay and protect Prince Edmund, but she knew better than to disobey the Alpha's orders.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN0X13X31b
Reluctantly, Kayra nodded and sprinted off towards the castle, while Alpha Kiro and the other guards remained hidden in the shadows, keeping a close eye on their surroundings to ensure that Prince Edmund, Kaylar, and Josiah were safe as they explored the town.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau51ZlqpNP
As she sprinted through the forest, Kayra's mind raced with worry. Why did Prince Edmund have to stay behind? And why did Alpha Kiro seem so tense and guarded?
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TseCJnYw
She pushed herself harder, her paws pounding against the soft earth beneath her. The wind whipped through her fur, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeUSL2DrZ4
When she finally arrived at the castle, she was panting heavily, her sides heaving with exertion. She burst through the doors and raced down the long hallways, her claws clicking against the polished stone floors.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmcd15Imac
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPCAOT44J
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8soCFdsXG6
"Prince Edmund is alright, Your Majesty" replied Kayra, trying to catch her breath. "He just want to stay for a while to explore the town and he'll be back soon."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BiALWYLqt
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCy4bOldCC
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlvWDY088J
Kayra hesitated, unsure of how much she should reveal. But she knew that Prince William was Prince Edmund's closest confidant, and he deserved to know the truth.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2qW1ze2n
"I don't know exactly, Your Highness" she said slowly. "But Alpha Kiro seemed very concerned. He ordered me to come back and tell you that Prince Edmund is safe, but he needs to stay for a while."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdKs991nEZ
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2LwLYpdjJ
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTbtoMj70C
Kayra nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She had done her duty, and now it was up to the royal siblings to decide what to do next.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr6vjswyUU
Kayra ask permission to the royal siblings to return to her post for guarding Prince Edmund. Princess Samantha ask Kayra to stay for a while and take some rest before she go back to Prince Edmund and that she needs to bring some supplies for Prince Edmund and the royal guards if he needs to stay out for a while. So, Kayra agreed that she will take a rest until the preparation of the supplies was prepared. Princess Samantha called a servant to prepare a meal and to care for Kayra.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvAHmV5s4
Kayra was grateful for Princess Samantha's kindness and nodded in agreement. She knew that it was important to take care of herself if she wanted to be an effective guard for Prince Edmund.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFt2qbtzW
"Thank you, Princess Samantha," said Kayra, her voice filled with gratitude. "I'll take some rest and wait for the supplies to be prepared. I appreciate your help."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4spsSvUrP
Princess Samantha smiled warmly at Kayra and gestured for a nearby servant to come forward.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH6d1HxdAZ
"Please prepare a meal for Kayra and make sure she's comfortable," she said, her tone gentle and kind. "And let me know as soon as the supplies are ready."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtRDZwzLdV
The servant bowed deeply and led Kayra to a nearby room where she could rest. The room was cozy and inviting, with a soft bed and a warm fire burning in the hearth. Kayra lay down on the bed, feeling her muscles relax for the first time in what felt like ages.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESDbXrk31X
As she waited for the supplies to be prepared, Kayra allowed herself to drift off into a light sleep, feeling safe and secure knowing that the royal siblings were taking care of her and her fellow guards.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZmYxoVTzk
Meanwhile, Alpha Kiro and the other guards continued to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice if needed.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIUXxo5Aaf
With that, the three of them continued on their journey to the nearby town, with Josiah walking alongside Kaylar and Prince Edmund, keeping a watchful eye out for any further danger that might come their way.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTZWNY5Wd8
As they walked, Kaylar continued to tell Prince Edmund stories of his travels, trying to distract him from the pain in his ankle.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwvqsDLv0r
Eventually, they arrived at the town, and Kaylar took Prince Edmund to the local healer while Josiah remains outside the door to keep an eye on their surrounding area.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7vY3Orck6
"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG2Y0uTn8N
The healer examined Prince Edmund's ankle and confirmed that it was indeed just a minor twist. He gave Prince Edmund some herbs to help alleviate with the pain and told him to rest for a few days.
