Once the queen found out her youngest daughter had gotten hurt she rushed into her room and hasn't left her side since yesterday night. "My dear, what happened? where is your father?" she had asked once again softly. Akina finally looked up at her mother and started to sob loudly while wrapping her arms around herself tightly. "F-Father is gone... He- he.. The ground took him.." Akina sobbed as she was then engulfed in the arms of her mother. "It's okay my sweet, we will find him... We will" the queen said softly while running her fingers through akina's hair.

That night the queen layed with her youngest daughter and soothed her to sleep as she couldn't stop shaking. As the sun rises a soft know was heard on the door. "My queen the council is in need of your presence" the guard said through the wooden door that was lined with golden details. "I'll be there promptly" she sighed while quickly sliding Akina off her stomach and onto the soft pillow below. The queen quietly got up wrapping her shawl around her shoulders before leaning down and gently kissing Akina's fourhead. She walked to the door and quietly opened it and stepping out into the dimly lit hallway.

Akina's eyes fluttered open to the sun shining through her velvet curtains

Akina's eyes fluttered open to the sun shining through her velvet curtains. "Mother?" she mumbled as she sat up looking around the room. "I wonder where she went.." she thought out loud to herself while pushing herself to her feet and walking to her closet. She glanced at all the pretty colored dresses before choosing a pale yellow dress with a beautiful bow made of silk on the back of her skirt.

Akina pulled her long brown curly hair in a half up, half down with braids pinned in the back making it look like a crown sitting on top of her head

Akina pulled her long brown curly hair in a half up, half down with braids pinned in the back making it look like a crown sitting on top of her head. She lastly adds another pale yellow ribbon that she ties into a bow around her pinned hair. "I wonder what I will do today?" she thought out loud to herself once again. As Akina was grabbing her white shawl off the arm chair next to her fireplace a soft knock was heard at the door. Before she could open the door a scream was heard outside her window, she rushed to see what the commotion was and saw one of the help being brutally stabbed by what looks like man with long horns on his head. Akina covers her mouth holding back her scream as the life in the servants eyes fade away. She turns around running away from the window and to the door swinging it open to be met with her older sister Talia covered in sweat and dirt. "Tal what is going on?! What happened to you?" Akina asked frantically. "I can't explain it all right now, we have to find Aunt Rina and mother before they find us, now come on hurry!" Talia ushered her while grabbing her a lighter dress just incase.

"What if we don't find mother or Aunt Rina" she said worriedly while walking quickly besides her sister. "We will find them" Talia reassured while gripping her hand tighter as more screams could be heard around the castle. The ground shook as a loud crash was heard from the throne room where what sounded like a council meeting was being held. The girls rushed into the throne room to see all the council members brutally murdered and their mother being help up by a man with a long red cloak. "Moth-" Akina tried to yell before her mouth was covered by Talia and she was pulled back behind her. "A-Akina f-find R-Rina and r-ru-" the queen sputtered as blood fell from her mouth and onto her once beautiful forest green dress that was now covered in blood from her wounds. The queens eyes now faded to darker blue as her life was taken from her. Akina sobbed as she was pulled behind her sister as they ran out of the throne room and into the hallway once more.

Talia looked at her sister in pity as they finally made it to their Aunts room. They swung open the door to find their aunt frantically packing light dresses and cloaks for the three of them. "Aunt Rina we have to leave before they find us too" Talia said while grabbing a bag and handing it to Akina to carry. "How will we get out of here" Akina said softly while gripping the bags tuff leather handle anxiously. "We have to get to the shipbay and leave the planet and hope they don't come after us" Rina said while shoving the last of the supplies into the bag and slinging it over her shoulder. "Wait?! What about Flora?" Akina said while picking up her little puppy that her father got her for her 17th birthday. "We can't leave her it's all I have left of our parents" Akina said sadly while hugging Flora closely. The puppy barked while licking Akina's face making her laugh a little bit as it tickled slightly. "How did Flora even find us in here?" Talia muttered while petting her head softly.

"Flora's been hiding in here all day since she couldn't find Akina earlier" Rina said while smiling slightly. "I'm glad we found her I can't lose her too.." Akina softly said while burying her head in the puppy's freshly clean fur from this morning. "Now come we've got to hurry before they start tearing down these door in search for us" their aunt said while handing Akina Flora's carrier which consisted of a small sling that had a big enough pocket to fit the small dog and some supplies for the journey. They then walked to the door and swung it open and started running down the hallway to shipbay quickly.

Their feet made loud thumps against the stone flooring as they finally got to the shipbay. There were many ships that were in flames and burning, bodies of servants that worked in the area littered the floor. "Hurry we have to find one that isnt as damaged and is in working condition before they find us!" Their aunt said as they all ran together looking for a working ship. They come to the end of the shipbay and find one that looked like it was untouched as it was hidden away in the far back. "Hurry this one! Come girls let's go!" Their aunt hurriedly said as a crash could be heard in the front of the shipbay making them get in the ship faster than before.
