You've seen the sun rise and moon fall. Then at night the moon rises and the sun falls. In this very nation, many empires rise and fall. However if a empire has great power, it will not fall easily.

Empire Snow the coldest part of the nation. Has gathered great power over the years but... everything after all has a price. A terrible blizzard happened all of a sudden the reason why is still unknown. The Holy Gladiators seeing the great opportunity, attacked them and brought the empire down on to their knees. In their mercy. The rise of Empire Snow was short lived, the residents were left in the rubbles of their destroyed home. Left there to try and attempt what was considered impossible. To rebuild the fallen empire. Fifty hundred years later the empire is in a better place now. But they don't have the same amount of power as before. In order to gain more power, the royals sent someone out to find people who live in the wild and to recruit them.

Once upon a cruel world, in the forest behind a hill. There was a girl with bright red hair with a full figured strong body. The name of this redhead? Elliona Olander part of a group that lives in the wild. Her family consists of her mother, her father, her five sibling, two uncles, one aunt and two cousins. Feila and Gasper Olander were very proud people. The other Olander children, Kenneth Olander second oldest of the Olander children. Elliona is the oldest, Marco Olander a talented musician he's the fourth oldest. Caroline Olander, the youngest a newborn baby. She inherited her father's look. Bernie and Bernard twin boys, one's sickly and the other is like a doctor to him. Garcia and Anderson Gala, sister in law and brother to Feila. Oscar and Grande Martinez brother in law and sister to Feila also. Chloe and Charlie Martinez two incredibly chaotic babies.

However right now Elliona was now out in the forest, chopping some fire wood. It was always winter here at Sherfeild. Which mean it's always cold. The snow was like icing, the icicles were glistening in the morning light. You could see puffs of air coming from Elliona. Chopping fire wood was not an easy task. Elliona stopped and took a break, leaning on her axe. It was a funny thought on how that axe was used long ago in battles. Now it rests in Elliona's hands to cut fire wood. Elliona was about to go back to work when she heard trotting and yelling.

"Mr horse!!! Please stop! I don't wish to die alone!!! In fact I don't wish to die at all!"

A young boy who looked like the same age as her brother Kenneth ran out of some bushes. In front of him galloping at fast pace was a horse which nearly crashed into Elliona, if it hadn't moved out of the way. The horse then ran out of the clearing and disappeared. The curly dirty blond hair boy slipped on some slush falling. The boy rubbed his back in pain.

"Ow"

When the boy looked up he was greeted with edge of Elliona's axe. He let out a high pitch squeak. Elliona examined the boy, he was wearing fancy clothes, looked weak and thin, he also looked rather posh.

"What is your purpose noble?"

"You're talking to me???"

The boy looked at Elliona, she looked at him.

"What I'm talking to the trees and rock?"

Elliona's tone changed to a sarcastic one.

"Oh! Umm I- I am Duke Evrart-"

"Oh please Duke Evrart died last year, you can't be him."

"H- how do you know???"

"Who. Are. You?"

The boy let out another high pitch squeak.

"Let me guess, you're a cowardly mouse."

"I am not! I am Earl Charles!"

Elliona looked at him confused moving her axe out of the way resting it to her side.

"What's a noble doing out here in the wild?"

"Well you see! I am here to recruit people who live in the wild to join Empire Snow!!!"

"You mean Sherfeild? I thought it was defeated long time ago?"

"Well yes, but! There may be a chance to rebuild Snow!"

Elliona looked at Charles as if he had suddenly became a goat.

"You must be insane."

"No I'm very sane! How about you visit the mainland?"

"The mainland?"

"You visit the mainland of Empire snow and see if you like it or not. Who knows you may join!"

Charles was jumping around like a rabbit, Elliona couldn't but give in.

"Fine but I need to deliver these fire wood to my family first."

"Alright deal! I'll go find my horse while you go to your family. We'll meet here!!! See ya later!!!"

Charles then ran off to find his horse. Running in the wrong direction before Elliona could tell him he was going the wrong way. She sighed, grabbing her ave and the firewood. She walked down a familiar path. The trees loomed over her shading her from the sunlight. Her footsteps were muffled by the snow. All Elliona could think of was her decision to go to the mainland. It was something that could go terribly wrong. She dared not to raise her hopes. She reached her home, a little cabin with a bunch of other ones. She quickly put the firewood in the basket and went inside the cabin. Her parents were hunting with her two brothers, her other three siblings were sleeping. She got out a notebook and pen and wrote a note for them. Telling them how she was going to the mainland. She then grabbed a bag and packed it with things she would need. After making sure the cabin was safe and warm she left. Heading back to the fire wood chopping place.

Treking through the snow once more she made her way to the meeting place. She made sure she had her axe, in the wild there were many dangers.

"Aha! Redhead! There you are!"

Charles ran over to Elliona, his run reminded her a bit of a rabbit. Charles seemed to remind Elliona a lot about rabbits. Following behind him was his horse.

"I forgot to ask you, what's your name redhead?"

"Elliona"

"A pleasure to meet you Elliona! Wow your name is easy to say unlike others!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

Elliona smiled, she was already getting attached to Charles.

"Well then, shall we go Charles?"

"Of course Malady!"

"Oi!"

They walked in the direction that would lead them out of the forest and towards the mainland. Laughing together, it is obvious they have already became good friends. A soft breeze past them, who knows what the future may hold for them.
