A few months ago a great war occured that shook the very foundation of the empire and all the other kingdoms. A war that involved all the contries within the continent. The awakening of the great ancient dragon Rastral who wished to offer the human race as a sacrifice for the revival of the demon kind.

The humans gathered all their forces in an attempt to subjugate the dragon but they failed and were all wiped out. After a few days the dragon arrived at the capital of the empire of Linila burining everything in it's path. All the villages in the area where the dragon came was destroyed, all the people killed and survivors eaten by the great ancient dragon.

A man in full clad armor entered the room and quickly pulled my hand as more men in clad armor quickly gathered and ran to the direction where the dragon came from. The man in armor said to me in a serious tone as he pulled me towards the entrance of the secret passage.

"Please leave this place before it's too late your highness."

Then an explosion occured and the whole room was filled with smoke and human like figures were seen entering the room. Noticing this the man pushed me inside the secret passage and he said to me as he closed the entrance.

"Live your highness, live and rebuild our kingdom once it falls."

Afterwards my vision became all black and the sound of metal clashing against each other was heard. I heard the agonizing screams of people as they met death. After hearing the continous screams of the people I knew from outside the passage my legs started to tremble and tears started to fall from my eyes.

I wiped away the tears and tried to stand up, but the fear of being found out filled my body. Will they kill me too if they found me? Those thoughts were inside my head as a hand quickly covered my mouth and a heard a familiar voice who told me in a gentle tone.

"Don't panic your highness. I'm going to remove my hand now once I do please relax and don't do speak loudly."

I did as the voice told me and I took a deep breath and I let out the air after a few seconds. After my breathing became stable another young man approached us and he asked me timidly while bitting his lips.

"Where is the king and queen you highness?"

I shook my head and I told him ina serious tone.

"I don't know, things have turned real bad when the dragon attacked so I don't know where they are."

The man showed a disappointed look on his face as he said. "Is that so?"

I stood up and the three of us started our journey on escaping this castle.
