Chapter 1 - The Royal Attack

"Billions of years ago... seven species of creatures emerged in our universe. DRAGONS, PHOENIXES, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, WITCHES, MERMAIDS and FAIRIES. These few creatures lived together in peace and harmony. As time went on, they reached a level of power where they could take the form of man."

"Wow! Then what happened?" Lauretta laughed, "Aurora,...my little princess, sit down and listen." Little Aurora sat down on the polished floor board and stared at her grandmother anxious, her little eyes wide open.

The queen continued,"After they realized that power, they began to create beings of their own kind. Soon enough, their population multipled and each creature had a kingdom of it's own. There was DRACEANA; the kingdom of Dragons, PHOENICIA; the kingdom of Phoenixes, DYSTOPIA; the kingdom of Vampires, LYCAN; the kingdom of Werewolves, HEXA; the kingdom of Witches, MERETROPOLIS; the kingdom of Merfolks and FAERNUS; the land of Fairies. Each kingdom was a paradise to it's inhabitants. Time went on and soon enough, hybrids came into existence."

"What are hybrids?" the little princess asked. "A being made up of more than one creature." her grandmother answered. "Like a mermaid and a fairy?" "Yes dear,...a being that's part mermaid and part fairy. For a five year old, your smarter than children your age." Lauretta said ruffling the little girl's hair.

"Grandmother, please go on with the story." "Alright. Now, the Dragon lord and the Phoenix queen fell in love with each other." "Awwwn. Did they get married? What happened next?" Aurora asked, excited.

"I'm afraid not. You see, dragons are creatures of pure destruction and phoenixes are creatures of creation and light -" "So they didn't get married." the little girl said sadly. Lauretta looked at her for a while, then lifted up her lowered chin and asked, "Do you want to hear the end of the story?" Aurora's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head eagerly.

"Zamiel, the Dragon lord and Sophina, the Phoenix queen found a way to merge their powers together and this gave birth to a powerful gem they called MAGENTA. The vampire king, however was against the union."

"War broke out between the creatures of darkness and the creatures of destruction/creation. The Merfolks, Faires and Werewolves join to fight the vampires. Chaos found it's way into their harmony. The witches allied with the vampires."

"During the fierce battle, Natalia the fairy queen stabbed King Dracnor with a Diamond Dust Stake right below his heart. That weakened the vampire king. With his weakness as an advantage, his enemies trapped him in a coffin, sealed it with a powerful spell and buried it deep inside the waters of their lands. Never to be seen again."

"Peace returned as the vampires went into hiding and witches were banned for their betrayal. Legends say that only a being who wields the power of the MAGENTA will be able to release the vampire king from his eternal prison." "Wow! Did they get married?" little Aurora asked.

"Well...no. Zamiel and Sophina died in battle and till day, their spirits still roam the face of the earth in search of someone worthy of them in hopes that their dreams of being together may become a reality." Lauretta said.

A guard suddenly barged into the chamber, panting heavily. He knelt before then said, "Queen mother, your highness, we must evacuate the castle at once. Moranians have invaded our land and you both have to be kept safe." The loud noises of fighting in the corridors caught the queen's attention. "They are in the castle." she whispered. Immediately, she picked up the little child and a sword from underneath her bed. "Let's go." she ordered.

Lauretta and the guard navigated their way through the warfare towards the nearest exit to the castle but their attempts where futile and their enemies kept increasing. As they neared an exit, armed men charged at them. Lauretta shoved the little princess into the guard's arms and opened up a secret passage way.

"Luke, get her out of here. I'll hold them off." she ordered. "But Queen mother-" "JUST GO!" she yelled. Reluctantly, he left through the passage way. It led to the castle courtyard. Luke's horse was nearby. As he placed the princess on the horse, enemies surrounded him. "Go!" he yelled to the horse and ot took off. He pulled out his sword, and continued fighting off his enemies.

Some Moranian warriors spotted the princess on a white horse and chased after her. Little Aurora held on to the reins of the horse for her dear life. At the speed of the animal, her little frame couldn't stay put on the horse's back. She felt her hands slipping off the reins and struggled to hold on tighter so she wouldn't fall off.

She could hear people behind her, chasing her. She was too scared to look back. One of the warriors shot an arrow to the white horse, scaring it. The creature panicked and tossed the princess off it's back. She fell to the ground with a heavy thud. "Wait!" she yelled out as she watched the horse take off without her.

"There she is! Get her!" she heard from a close distance. It was one of her pursuers. Quickly, she picked herself up and ran as fast as her little legs could take her. She looked over her shoulder as she ran; a number of huge scary men with weapons were hot on her tail. In panic the little princess ran faster.

She came to the entrance of a cave and ran into it in hope of loosing her attackers in it. They followed her, closely. The cave was dark and the air moist. Aurora could hear her heavy breaths echoing off the cave walls. Another distinct sound was the voices of the attackers right behind her.

"Ahhh!" the little girl exclaimed, skiing to a stop. She had reached a dead end, it was a cliff and she could hear clearly the sound of rushing currents at the bottom. She turned around in hope of an escape but she was met with the faces of her enemies.

"Please don't hurt me." she pleaded to the big men who were slowly closing in on her. They all let out evil laughs. "Too late princess. That's exactly what we're going to do." one of them said. With that, he threw his axe at the little girl.
