She trudged knee-deep snow through the freezing cold. Her dress barely protected her from the cold, the winds beating her small body as she passed through the thick snow. Shivering as she went with no clear directions in mind.
"How could this have happened?"
The girl with shoulder-length red hair voiced her thoughts outwardly. Darkness crept into her peripheral vision. Her consciousness was failing, her fears increasing by the minute.
With deep blue eyes, the young woman was desperately searching for a safe shelter from the cold. The cold that was threatening to end her life.
Although she doesn't know how she ended up in this situation. But, what she remembered was that her home was under attack.
The girl remembered the soldiers rushing. Her brother was fighting a towering man. Screams too many to recognize. She saw fire everywhere.
She was of noble birth, but the attack came out of nowhere. There were no warnings. With no time to properly prepare for the unexpected event. Even the guards stationed at her home weren't prepared for it.
Even then, she wished she could've been a bigger help in defending her home. But it was already too late. Now, she was wandering in this freezingly cold forest. The winds carrying the winter storm.
Though it was the summer season, she somehow found herself in a place where it snowed. Not knowing where she is and how she got here in the first place.
Nonetheless, it was a miracle she managed to get out of the chaotic scene without someone trying to kill her. Even then, transporting into a different place was a different kind of luck.
However, the unfortunate thing is, she's going to die from the cold if she's not going to find a safe shelter soon.
"I wished I could've worn thicker clothes."
Though she wasn't expecting to be in a land that snows, especially where she lives, was already in the summer season. To find herself in a place where it snows despite being summer, she must've been somewhere in the northern regions. She hoped it would still be within her country.
Which part up north she does not know. What she knows is that it's really cold.
Suddenly, her legs gave out. No longer having the strength to go on. Her body laid flat on the cold, snow-covered ground. Her fears of death began to increase in each passing moment as she fell towards the ground.
Is this the end? Am I going to die?
She wanted to cry. She felt it was unfair for this to happen to her. She hasn't done anything wrong.
The girl, herself, lived a comfortable life. Though she has strength far stronger than any girl of her age has but never did anything to improve it. Now, she was driven from her home, undone by flame and fury. The tapestry unfurled. Now, her fate seemed certain as darkness began to cover her sight.
However, as she was about to fall into despair, she saw a figure in pure black at a distance.
Though she couldn't recognize the figure, she felt no danger of what seemed to be a man, even when he walked slowly. His movements were too calm in this cold weather.
Although he carried nothing on him to light his way, she somewhat understood he was familiar with the place. Even when it is dark without the light of the moon, darkened by the clouds of the winter storm.
"Who… are you…?"
Being weakened by the cold, the girl struggled to utter her words before she lost consciousness.
Our story begins before this fateful encounter. Events intertwine into a beautiful tapestry that will dawn a new age. Pruning the old and grafting in the new to create this tale:
Intertwine; connecting all in one.
