She was fighting.

She felt her usual blast of ice sprung forward as the enemy drew closer, stabbing the foot soldier that was near her.

She then heard a scream for her name a moment later. It was a cry of her name. She later realised.

She felt her breath shortening and then she was falling. Why was she falling? So many thoughts started coming and go, like a herd of birds scattering away from the sudden noise. Why were her thoughts so scattered?

How long had she seen a bedroom that was so reminiscent to a normal childhood?

Lifting her hand to wipe away the tears and paused. Her hand, was small and chubby. Like a child's hand.

Shock rang through her. What the Hell!?

She sat up as she stared at the child-sized hand before looking down at the rest of her body. It was small. Smaller than it should be. Skinny and fragile. Realisation then hit her hard, she was a child.

Author's Note: To be fair, I am done with Wattpad and gave up a long time ago and, I would have deleted this app if all my past stories slash ideas wouldn't be here. Plus moving them would take such a long time and I'm lazy.

Oh and Ao3 is where I am now mostly at, don't know why I decide to update here but yeah.

Oh and the introduction chapter, forget it exists. I'll just leave it there really.
