Little girls dream of being a princess but this princess dreamed of being anything but a princess. Her kingdom was powerful and through it's power it crushed any that would threaten it's own peace...this could be seen as either self preservation or world domination...but any and all peoples that they came across other than there own were murdered in a "Holy Crusade." Nine entire races of people had been eliminated at the hands of her people...she'd only been alive for 16 years but witnessed 2 whole races made extinct. She remembered coldly her own father the king slaying the highest court of the peaceful elvish people of a nearby forest covered island. But politics and war were never her thing. She only longed for one thing and that was love. Being a princess restricts who she's allowed to love and though she saw many commoners that she felt a small crush for she was never allowed to feel more and because of this had been forced into lonelienss. Recently, it seemed her prayers had been answered and a prince from one of there colonies where an ancient fairy tribe had lived had come into her life and seemed to be all she had ever dreamed of. It was hard for them to see each other since they had their own businesses to attend to. When she saw him she felt happy, when away from him she thought of being with him. It was perfect...then it all changed...only for a short time...but still it had changed.

            Her father was sitting in a chair by her bed as she woke. "We have word of a new people who live on farms on the outskirts of our newly expanded borders." Her father smiled and she smiled to please him knowing it was the only way to get him to leave. It worked as he stood and walked towards her doorway he turned back as she lay there frowning and praying for the people's safety. "Your prince will be leading the attack on the Murajinian people...they seem to be closely related to Unicorns...or some beast of burden. I hope you said your good byes because he could be gone for a while...war takes time." She held every feeling of sorrow inside and her father turned and left. When she was sure he was gone she burst into tears thinking of how her love would be fighting on the front line...he could die to these people that shouldn't even be persucuted for living...she grew hate for her fater and yearned for her love.

            The next few months were uneventful, she spent every day the sanctuary of the church and prayed every day and nearly all day for her love's protection. Every day she asked for word on the war hoping somehow it would be over but more importantly that her love would come back to her.

            The next few months went on the same until a very important day when her father came to her and said he must join the front because the new people were resisting all attacks with what seemed to be invisible walls as there archers picked off her father's army. She went about praying when her father left. Soon trouble went from the front line to the homefront as a few visitors showed up at the castle gates.

            3 young men all seeming to be about 17 stood at the castle gate and then as the first guard noticed them..he wondered how they got to the gate without him seeing them...then they took a knee and the gate exploded inwards towards the castle itself. The three young men came in each headed in a seperate direction and killed every person they saw with there telekinetic gifts. These people were obviously very strong and as the princess lay praying half of a priest crawled it's way into the church and muttered out, "They're here...the...princess...get her away." The three men had killed countless town folk as they made there way to the town square there they were surrounded by royal knights and as the princess looked down upon these events from a window in the church her mother walked towards the three young men and asked them what they were there for and why they were killing so many. As she finished her question the three young men took a ready position and one dashed the queen as the other two dashed to opposite sides and each made a telekinetic sword that destroyed the mind of any it touched. They swong at countless knights as the knights began to fight back and the queen fell having been struck by one of these attackers' blades and the princess lay in grief...and awe because she could see that the one who killed her mom...was handsome and determined...and he had to be from Murajia. She saw that she was now queen...and her royal knights fought diligently and had defeated two of the knights and killed them. The last knight that had killed the queen stood in the same spot. She began to think of him...and his pain...and why he'd come here and do as he was doing. As she pondered these things he looked up at her, then as his opponents were closing in on him he dashed towards her flying to her window and then through the window he tackled her and as he look down into her eyes she felt him seeing everything she had ever thought and felt...then she saw him shed a tear. He raised his fist and backhanded her and she felt her conciousness drift away.
