A girl runaway from her kingdom to save herself from the war between the 2 great kingdoms.

She ran away to the forest as fast as she can as she dodge arrows left and right and the sounds of cavalrymen chasing her, "You got this Venli! She told herself as she saw a purple glimmer somewhere.

"W-what was that?" Before she could think the men shouted, "I found her! Over here!" Snapping out of her thoughts she ran towards the purple lave as it turns out to be a portal.

"No time to think, Get in!" She told herself as quickly went inside, "There!" The cavalrymen followed but as she went inside it closed like it wasn't there.

(Venli's Pov)

"Huff

Huff

Ha..."

I went into the strange portal to find nothing but pure green life, everywhere is just trees and bushes.

I got no need to think, what if they followed me here?! I need to go.

I tried to run but my adrenaline from the chase disappeared as I collapse to my knees.

H-huh...?

That was all I said before I passed out from exhaustion

As I woke up, confusedly I wonder why I'm lying on the bed as I opened my eyes I saw a man healing hurt feet.

I was so confused then I asked the man' where I was and how I got there; the man answered my questions and introduced himself.

"I'm Alex, and we're in the village what's your name?" He said.

"Village!?" she told herself.

"I-i'm Venli," she said and she tries to stand but she couldn't.

"Be care, full young lady, your feet are still injured" Alex said, as I try to sit up.

"Thank you for healing my leg but I need to go, sir"

"Whoa, I can't let you leave yet, you're still weak and it might get worse because you haven't fully recovered yet" Alex looks worried for her.

He asks Venli where she's come from and how she got that Forrest. Venli narrated everything that happened and how she lost her family.

Alex was concerned about it and let her stay at his house.

Over the years, Venli and Alex grew close to each other, and Alex treated her like his own daughter and trained her how to fight.

Everything Alex knew he taught to Venli even using swords and hunting.

Years later, Alex goes out to buy food Until a beautiful woman came up to him and she asks "Excuse me, sir, do you know where I could buy some potions here?

Alex's Heart beats so fast like his love at first site.

Alex takes the girl to the potion store and learns that the girl's name is Stella. Alex always visits Stella and gives her flowers after a few months.

Alex, boldly asks Stella to be his girlfriend.

Stella says yes and Alex hugs Stella with joy then Alex goes home and tells Venli that he has a girlfriend now, Venli is very happy after she herds the news.

Alex remembers that Stella loves making potions and he asked Stella if she could teach his daughter and Stella agreed.

A few months later, Alex tells Venli to go with Stella to get ingredients for potions and she nodded.

An Hour later a boy runs towards Venli and says that something happened to her father.

They hurried back, and when Venli opened the door she was stunned, seeing her father sitting on the floor covered in blood.

Venli quickly goes near him and holds his hand "Dad?..." And her tears start to Flow, and Alex coughs.

"Venli, is that you?" Alex whispered.

"Father!?" He felt a little relieved to hear his father's voice as Alex held to Venli's cheek.

"My beloved daughter Venli, I might not stay any longer now"

"Oh father, don't say that, oh father please please"

"Be strong my love, i-i love you" Alex slowly closes his eyes.

"Father!? No please don't leave me. Father no, no, no Father please wake up" She could feel coldness replacing the heat of Alex's body.

She begged and begged her father to wake up but nothing happens, until Stella came to her and hugged her Venli cried and cried.

Even after that Venli can't stop thinking about her father

Days later, Alex's funeral arrives and Venli and Stella mourn Alex's death crying and remembering all the good things Alex did, that day Stella receives a letter from someone who wants Stella to come back.

Stella talks to Venli, that she needs to come back to her home town "Can I come with you?" Venli asked.

"I'm sorry but you can't," said Stella.

"B-But why?"Venli replied.

"Ven, it's dangerous when going with me, take care of yourself," Stella said.

The following day Stella pack all her things and Stella kissed Venli's forehead patted her shoulder and Venli watch her walk away.
