My hands were trembling as I tried to hold him with the tears that were slowly clouding my sight. I held his shoulder and shook him gently."Father, wake up!" I said with a shaking voice as I felt a strange feeling of fright in me, crying.I immediately stopped crying when he suddenly moved and opened his eyes slowly."What happened, Father?" He did not utter a word and just stared at me so I turned to Matias and said, "Matias, get some help! Hurry!" Frantic as I was, Matias was the worst. He is so shocked that he did not know what to do so I do not have a choice but to shout at him to help him regain some consciousness. He looked at me and nodded his head, dashing through the door with full speed.I looked at my father again and saw that he was forcing himself to touch my cheeks with little strength he had in him. His hands were full of blood."Who did this to you, Father?""Aliara, my one and only Princess…" he said with a strugglin

SLOWLY, I opened my eyes and saw that it was already dark. The fireflies were all over the place, the thing I can only see in this darkness. But a lamp beside me caught my attention when I regained consciousness. It was not an ordinary lamp. I narrowed my eyes as I looked into the intricate design of it. Delicate and expensive. I am certain that it was from a well off person.I looked around the surroundings when I realized who was the one who owned it. From my place, I can see another speck of light in the darkness. It was towards the direction walking away from me in accordance with its speed.I quickly stood on the rock I was lying on and took the lamp to come and follow the light for a reason I am not aware of. But I made a wrong step on the twigs and dried leaves creating a sound that is not much needed in this situation. I stopped and looked in front of me, getting nervous.The horse stopped on its track and he quickly looked at me, shocked. I just stared

I sighed.As I was about to stand, I halted when I heard a voice speaking on the far side beside me. It was none other that Matias. It looks like he never left the hall when I thought he did when the others left."Did something happen last night?" he asked, catching my attention."What would happen? Why would anything happen? There is nothing happening!" I said to him aggressively, which shocked him.I immediately realized what I just did and stood. I, too, am shocked with my reaction."I was just asking," he calmly said.My eyes sharpened at him to mask the shame I am feeling as of the moment. "Do not ask if something happened beca

Soon, I found one. A fine young lady, noblewoman. I grinned to my delight. It seems like she was furious about something, looking at how crouched her servants were being scolded by her. They are farther from where I was standing so I take a turn to further lessen our distance. I scanned her clothes and when I saw what I wanted from her, I swiftly moved past beside her. Getting the purse of money on her waist without her knowing.I continued walking without looking back at her until she was out of my sight. I grinned as I opened the purse while my attention was focused on my surroundings. It was like a fleeting moment when I took a glance at what the purse contained and lit with glee when I saw. It was all gold coins."I am never wrong," I said to myself before I closed it and hid it.I

Before the sun sets, I stopped by the falls to take a bath. It is during this time where it’s usually empty and no creatures are roaming around. When I sank my feet under the water, I took off my cloak and removed my clothes. My white garment dress was the only thing remaining that covered my body.I didn’t waste any time and I quickly soaked in the cold water. I went to the falls and turned my back, closing my eyes as the water ran down my skin.I stayed for a few minutes before I finally leave. I dived in the water once again before coming back up and squeezing my wet hair to get too much water out of it.I looked around and was surprised to notice a creature who was also surprised to see me.Everything around us seemed
