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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVyavuIuw
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztkAZ2BBEI
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoakfZHcrpK
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5qWPnIvf
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SXxS6MPX4
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cudnjbTTk
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgY9kf2gqH
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.

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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkM5th4TR
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8diRXQiiS8
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGXVFK4sGV
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXOOhzBxYv
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."

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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk3irywl8m
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcp8GF578
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPNSggKuZ
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.

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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtQwOOBKbS
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sBlUk6fGG
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.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TEsMmXIAw
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFHsPlAQgl
"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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPIuKxk14
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA3b55I6f3
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYknN2XwGy
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?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oGrSc4sTd
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9j7kpcrag
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhJ15VA7H
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05JqilHEwY
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc1swnpzWx
"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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz1awF89LW
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoALcVrbSB
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2XOt2RjX
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxzuTH0MT
"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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT8KTaHOQc
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsYi7gWcz8
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."

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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7V8QRe12f
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.

"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
