(We zoom in on a royal house up in a neck in the woods in Canada, with a closed off young girl sitting in her room)
(Indica sits by herself on a stack of books, her bed is gone and the door is locked)
Indica: Why won’t they open the door
(Suddenly a small hatch opens up in the floor, with a small boy climbing out of the hatch)
Hudson: Hey are you alright
Indica: No Hudson
Hudson: Uh, Your Parent’s locked you in your room again, for what reason?
Indica: They said I read too much, can you believe it, so they took the bed out.
Hudson: They really like to keep you closed off huh.
Indica: Yeah, seeing you is great because they won’t let me have friends
Hudson: Oh yeah that reminds me, (Unwraps gift)
(Inside a wrapper is a book)
Hudson: I mean, your ninth birthday isn't until next week, but your parents constantly monitor you on that day, so I figured I’d give you the book now
Indica: Hudson, you’re always so thoughtful
Hudson: Yeah hehe, anyway, I have to go practice Magic now, see you later
(Hudson slinks back down the trapdoor that Indica unborded and when he’s gone she reboards it up)
(Indica then hears a call of a voice and is being beckoned to dinner)
(One Week Later)
Father: Indica, as a noble child, you inherit the family crest of the swan when you come of age
Mother: You will not complain when the priest examines you, you will not fidget, you will
Indica; I know
Mother: I BEG YOUR PARDON, DID YOU INTERRUPT ME
Indica: Yes, Sorry Mother
Father: This will not go unpunished, after this, you will not eat dinner
Indica: Uh
Mother: Is that understood
Indica: Yes Mother
Father: Being adorned with the crest of the Swan should be your proudest moment in life
Indica: Ok
Mother: We are here
(They arrived at an altar with a Priest, who had vials set up enriched with magic, Hudson stood near the Priest, as the Priest was his father and teacher, Hudson and Indica exchanged paltry glances while Indica went up to the Priest)
Priest: So it is time for Indica the noble daughter to be adorned with the family crest.
Mother: Yes it is
Priest: Indica stand up
(Indica stood on the Altar, Hudson giving her a look of encouragement)
Priest: I will begin the chant
Father: I cannot wait to see our heir’s crest
(Symbols swirled around Indica, with Hudson having his eyes set on the Swan crest, watching it’s sporadic movement, Indica closed her eyes and felt the Crest of the Swan’s energy surround her, but then it faded, Indica’s parents watched in horror as the Crests circled around her again, if the Swan crest rejected her, what did that mean, Atoll watched as The Crest of the Walrus, an outlier among crest manship, moved towards Indica instead and The Parents and Priest watched in abject putrid as the Crest of the Walrus made its mark on their heir.)
Indica: Uh how did I do
Father: PUTRID PRIEST, THIS INDGINITY IS A FALLACY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR DAUGHTER
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Priest: I have done nothing, the Crests chose her, it is
Mother: SILENCE, YOU WILL BE BEHEADED FOR INCELENCY
Hudson: You can’t do that
Priest: Hudson, watch over your mother for me
Father: KILL THE WIFE AS WELL
Priest: Save yourself Hudson
(Hudson gave a sorrowful nod)
Priest: I’m telling you guys it’s not my fault, the crests reacted to the girl’s aura
(Guards escort The Priest out into the courtyard)
Father: The daughter, hmm
Mother: I see what we need to do
Indica: What will you do to me
(She began to quake, looking at the Walrus crest on her shoulder)
Mother: (Pulls out a whip)
Father: (Pulls out a whistle)
Mother: You will be punished
Indica: Please don’t
(The Mother lashes Indica on the shoulder, while a whistle exploits her hearing, she begins to cry)
Mother: DO NOT CRY
(She continues beating and bruising her with a whip till she cannot stand, and is forced to crawl all the way to her room, she spends the next few hours recovering from being beat, when The Trap door, riddles itself, and Indica un boards it.)
Hudson: I saw what happened, I’m so sorry
Indica: I’m sorry for you too
Hudson: They forced me to watch my Parents be beheaded, I’m going to run away tonight
Indica: I will join you
Hudson: Wait, but what if we get caught
Indica; I cannot live in this putrid place anymore, my parents constantly berate me and force me to live the life they want me to, when we run away, it will be just us and no one to tell us what to do
Hudson: Hey, I like that alot
Indica: Then what do we have to lose
(Fast forward to night, where Indica opens the trap door, Indica and Hudson join your party)
Hudson: Are we ready to make our leave
Indica: Yes I am
(Begin Secret Passage, a more stealth based section, then transition to Noble Grounds, stop when you end Noble Grounds)
Indica: So where are we running
Hudson: We are running to The land of the American Alliance, we will move farway to the East Coast, and then maybe one day we can go to Europe.
Indica: I like that plan a lot
Hudson: Yup, Just the Two of Us
(Begin Ontario Forrest 1, and when you get to the end)
Hudson: We’re in the home free
Indica: I can’t wait to finally live my own life
(One Week Later, High CIty of Toronto)
Hudson: The border is only hours away
Indica: I’ll bring the wagon around
Hudson: Wait, but i found this
(It says Wanted Poster: Indica, return to the Nobles up in Dallworth county)
Indica: We need to move then
Beggar: Hey, It’s the girl on the wanted poster, get her
Hudson: Not without a fight
(Hudson’s weapon is Magic Slingshot, Indica’s weapon is Silver Dagger, after beating The angry Mob, begin Toronto District 31)
(Midway through)
Indica: I hope my Parents haven’t sent like a Militia or something after us
Hudson: I hope not, we’re not exactly prepared to fight off a Militia
Indica; Well we can still make it
(End Distirct 31, leave city, begin Road 1 on wagon, stop when you get to a small fort)
Indica: The amount of people after us is absolutely crazy
Hudson: The reward is pretty high
Solider 1: Hey, It’s the Noble duaghter, lets move
(The Army starts moving)
Hudson: UH WE GOTTA GO
(Resume Road 1, go off into the Forrest and ditch the Wagon, Begin Forrest 2 and end Forrest 2 near a cliff)
Indica: Oh, we need to scale the cliff if we have a chance of escaping
Hudson: As long as we have each other, we can’t fail
Solider: THERE GOING DOWN THE CLIFFS
Hudson: Welp, we need to speed up
(Begin Vertical Cliffside 1, when you end it this happens)
Indica: Drop Down
Hudson: WHy
Indica: Let’s do it
(They fall of the cliffside and land on the ground near some rails and a cart)
Guard Capitan: We, Can’t let them escape, bring out the Siege Instruments
Lieutenant Capitan: Uh, those are child--
Guard Capitan: JUST DO IT
Hudson: Uh
Indica: I’m starting the cart
(Begin Rails 1 and stop when you get midway through)
Indica: We’ve escaped
Hudson: Yeah, but let’s take rest
(Fast Forward to the middle of the Night, where a massive arrow penetrates the walls of the Inn they were sleeping in)
Hudson: OH NO
Indica:Quick, we need to get to the rails
(They race to the rails but see their cart destroyed while the Men of the Fort come down the side)
Hudson: I’ll hold them back while you fix the cart
Indica: But, You’ll die and I don’t know how
Hudson:Just trust in me and We will be fine
(Indica leaves your party, Hold off soldiers until Turn 30, when the Cart is done, and get hit by an arrow volley)
Indica: HUDSON
Hudson: I’ll be fine
(The Walrus crest glows brightly as the Silver Dagger turns into an Ivory dagger, fight the Soldiers and then Carry Hudson onto the cart and lift him down on the cart ground)
Hudson: I’ll...be...fine
Indica: No your not, we need to find a doctor
Hudson: We..need to go
Indica: NO, We need to find someone
Hudson: No…
(Hudson pushes the lever beginning Rails 2, Midway through Rails 2)
Hudson: If...I..Don’t make it
Indica: No, You will, you promised
Hudson: Please, keep going
(At the end of Rails 2, reach the Border and Indica takes Hudson into a border hospital)
Indica: He’s dying, you have to help him
Doctor: Uh, who are you
Indica: No time, He’s dying, YOU HAVE TO SAVE HIM
(She pulls out some coins and places them in the Doctor’s pockets)
Indica: Please….
Doctor: Ok, I’ll try
Indica: THANK YOU
(The Next Day Indica rushes into the Field Hospital to see A heart monitor drop to zero, the news being final)
Doctor: I’m sorry
Indica: He didn’t make it
Doctor: No, He did not
Indica (Crying): Iwasholdinghimanduh...uh…
Doctor: It’s ok, he’ll be laid to rest
Indica: NO YOU STILL HAVE TO TRY TO SAVE HIM, ANYTHING, PLEASE!!!!
Doctor: I’m afraid it’s too late, nothing can be done
Indica (Sniffling): Ok, I’ll be on my way now
Doctor: Wait, come back
(Indica runs off into the Wilderness while her tears trinkle back to Hudson’s body activating the Resurrection Orb, he awakens and sees Indica running off into the distance)
