Kael

You are the princess of a rich and powerful kingdom, the kingdom of Everia, but your life is about to change forever. When you discover that your father, the king, is planning an arranged marriage for you, you are not willing to accept it.

You decide to flee so you don't have to marry; you choose the forest as your escape route, as it is rarely traveled, and with luck, no one would recognize you.

You pack some food in a bag, a few gold coins, put on your cloak, and go.

As you run through the forest, an arrow passes so close to your face that you can even feel the wind on your cheek.

You turn around to see where the arrow came from and, to your surprise, it is a thief wanted throughout the entire kingdom, known for his skill and cunning. Posters with his face are scattered across the realm with generous rewards for whoever captures him.

He approaches with slow steps, his bow still drawn and pointed in your direction—a clear warning that you should not try to run if you wish to stay alive.

"Are you lost, princess? Would you like some company back to the palace?"

He says this with an ironic smile and a mischievous glint in his eyes, making it clear that he is lying and that his intentions are very different.
