As you traversed through the dense woods, your hands busily gathering leaves and sticks for your daily needs, you suddenly encountered a formidable obstacle in your path-a massive tree root blocking your way. Letting out a heavy sigh of frustration, you rubbed your temples.
"Another root of a tree blocking my way," you huffed, resigning yourself to the task of overcoming yet another natural barrier. With determination, you approached the root, placing your palms on its surface and carefully scaling it until you reached the top. With a confident leap, you landed on the ground on the other side, shaking off the dirt and debris before continuing on your journey.
As you ventured deeper into the forest, your senses were overwhelmed by the serene beauty surrounding you-the towering trees, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the crisp cold breeze against your skin. Your (h/c) hair danced in the wind as you reveled in the tranquility of nature, momentarily forgetting the perils that lurked beyond the safety of the trees.
However, your moment of peace was shattered by the ominous sound emanating from the hoofbeats of approaching horses, sending a jolt of fear coursing through your veins. Reacting swiftly, you dashed towards a large hole at the base of a tree trunk, seeking refuge within its dark confines. As the sound of the horses grew louder, you huddled inside the hollow, your heart pounding in your chest as you braced yourself for the imminent danger.
Peeking cautiously from your hiding place, you watched as the colossal form of a horse thundered past, its massive size dwarfing your own small stature. Your gaze then shifted to the riders-men clad in thick armor, their cold expressions betraying their formidable presence. These were the giants, the enforcers of the royal palace, known for their ruthless pursuit of power and their disregard for the lives of those beneath them.
Having narrowly escaped the clutches of these deadly creatures in the past, you now lived a quiet existence, far from the dangers of their domain. Yet, your curiosity about the possibility of finding others like yourself fueled your determination to continue living, despite the ever-present threat of the giants looming over your world.
Once you were certain that the giants had passed and the coast was clear, you emerged from your hiding place, resuming your journey with a renewed sense of hope. Determined to find others of your kind, you pressed on through the forest, each step bringing you closer to your goal. However, as the distance stretched on, fatigue began to set in, prompting you to seek out a faster means of traversing the vast expanse of wilderness that lay before you.
Suddenly, an idea sparked in your mind-a clever solution to your dilemma. Scanning your surroundings, you searched for any sign of birds, knowing that their language was one you were fluent in and could easily communicate with. With a high-pitched call that mimicked the chirping of small birds, you beckoned to them, hoping for a willing companion to aid you on your journey.
To your delight, a magnificent Myna responded to your call, swooping down to land gracefully at your feet. With a wide smile, you reached out to ruffle its soft feathers, the bird chirping happily in response to your affection.
"You're so beautiful, can I have a ride with you?" you exclaimed excitedly, your voice filled with anticipation.
The pretty Myna nodded its head in agreement, seeming pleased to accept your request. With heartfelt gratitude, you bowed repeatedly before climbing onto its back, signaling for the bird to take flight. As the Myna spread its wings and soared into the sky, you felt a rush of exhilaration wash over you, the wind whipping against your face as you soared through the air.
Indeed, this unexpected adventure was proving to be more thrilling than anything you could have imagined. With the aid of your feathered friend, you embarked on a journey that promised to be filled with excitement, danger, and the possibility of discovering others like yourself in this vast and untamed wilderness.

"The queen is no longer my king," spoke the physician with a heavy heart, his words laden with sorrow as he acknowledged his failure to save the queen's life. Despite his best efforts, the outcome had been grim, leaving the royal court shrouded in grief and uncertainty.
The king, silent and contemplative, remained seated upon his throne, his eyes closed in deep thought.
With a solemn air, the king's eyelids fluttered open, revealing the intensity of his dark raven orbs as they gleamed in the flickering light of the fire. Bringing his hands to his lips, he pressed a gentle kiss upon them before rising from his seat with a deliberate grace. His movements were purposeful as he made his way towards the physician, each step echoing ominously throughout the hall, a silent harbinger of the impending doom.
The doctor's gaze unwavering, watched as the king approached, a sense of foreboding settling over him like a dark cloud.
Taehyung seized his sword, the metal glinting in the firelight as he slashed the innocent man's neck without hesitation. The doctor's lifeless body crumpled to the floor, a crimson line marking the finality of his fate.
"Arrange a proper funeral for my queen," commanded Taehyung, his voice as cold as ice, betraying no hint of emotion at the loss of his beloved. The general, ever obedient to his king's will, nodded solemnly in response, his expression stoic as he prepared to carry out the royal decree.
With his duty fulfilled, Taehyung made his way back to his chambers, his passage marked by the strict orders he issued to the royal guards. As he passed through their ranks, he commanded them with authority, ensuring that no one would be allowed to intrude upon his solitude. The royal guards, ever loyal to their majesty's commands, bowed their heads in deference, their unwavering obedience a testament to the power and authority wielded by their king.
As Taehyung entered his chambers and slammed the door shut behind him, a deadly smirk twisted his lips, casting a sinister shadow across his features. With purposeful strides, he made his way to the portrait of his queen, the woman who had once held his heart in her hands. Gazing upon her likeness, a mixture of fondness and cruelty danced in his eyes, a stark contrast to the love and devotion he had once professed for her.
"So sad of you to pass away like this, my love, but everything is fair in love and war," he whispered, his voice dripping with a psychotic layer of malice as he spoke. There was a darkness in his tone, a sinister undertone that betrayed the depths of his twisted intentions.
"After all, power is everything. I needed to eliminate you to get that," he continued, his smile casual as if he had not just poisoned the love of his life in cold blood.
"There is nothing wrong in being greedy, love," he concluded, his voice laced with a dangerous charm as he covered her portrait with curtains, effectively obscuring her from view. With a final glance at the shrouded image of his once-beloved queen, Taehyung retreated to his bed.
It was a harsh truth, but when greed consumed a person, they were capable of unspeakable acts, willing to sacrifice everything in their relentless pursuit of power. And for Kim Taehyung, the new king of the kingdom, that ugly truth had become his reality, as he ascended to the throne at the cost of everything he once held dear.

As you lazily walked a few steps further, scanning the surroundings for a suitable shelter, your eyes fell upon a tree that seemed to offer the perfect refuge. Placing your carried bag near the roots of the tree, you settled down on the sturdy roots, rummaging inside the bag to retrieve a handmade cup for fetching water from the nearby pond.
With the cup in hand, you made your way towards the pond, navigating carefully down the slope with the help of grass and leaves. Upon reaching the edge of the water, you dipped your cup into the cool depths of the pond, filling it to the brim before raising it to your parched lips. The water provided a refreshing relief to your thirsty mouth, and you eagerly gulped it down before bending down to refill your cup.
However, your peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted when a man suddenly tumbled down from the tree above, crashing straight into the water with a mighty splash. The force of the impact sent a giant ball of water splashing outward, drenching you completely. With a startled cry, you lost your balance and tumbled into the pond, your screams for help drowned out by the rushing water as you struggled against the suffocating embrace of the drowning depths.
As panic seized you and darkness threatened to engulf your senses, you felt gravity pulling you down into the murky depths, your vision blurring as your oxygen supply dwindled. With your last thoughts swirling in confusion and disbelief, you resigned yourself to your fate, unable to comprehend how your life could end so abruptly.
That's it? Is it my end? How could I die so eas-
But just as your consciousness began to slip away, a large hand suddenly grasped your body and pulled you up from the drowning water with a swift motion. Gasping for air, you found yourself being whisked away from the brink of death by a man ten times your size.
"Little one! Hello!" his voice calling out to you in concern as your half-conscious gaze met his horrified expression. As darkness closed in around you, you could barely make out his frantic mumblings before succumbing to unconsciousness.
"Lana"
