For many years the people of Ethos lived happily without the fear of war. They went about with their daily lives, farming and selling their goods. A King ruled over Ethos for over 1000 years, ruling with kindness and a just hand. 500 years into his ruling, he met a woman named Azalea. He fell instantly in love with not just her beauty but her kind personality. Their marriage was celebrated by all, but not as much as when their first child was born. There were many festivals that lasted for weeks. The Prince grew up to be as strong as his father and as kind and beautiful as his mother. He was skilled in many areas and was loved by all who met him.

But one day, a dark force from the east threatened the hard earned peace. An evil force that looked to take over Ethos and rule by its own way and for it's own benefits. The King and Queen fought hard along with the people of Ethos, but the evil was too strong. Seeing no way of winning, The King and Queen sent the Prince into hiding and told him that one day; a saviour would be born. It was his job to protect this child until it was able to save Ethos.

A young man rode horse back through the thick, unforgiving forest. The thickening trees towered high, cutting off all light from the hot sunny day. The leaves rustle against each other in the cold wind, as if fighting each other for space to move. The black horse's hooves beat loudly against the dry dirt track. 

The edge of the forest slowly began to appear as the young man pushed his horse into a gentle trot, eager to get out of the thick forest. He soon broke the tree line but the sight did not bring him any ease to his discomfort. People that once lived happily, now being forced to work fields for a loaf of bread. They were covered in dirt and skinny, showing they have not lived a life like they used to. They all looked up at the young man dress in a black leather jacket with a black hood up over his head, a black mask over the bottom of his face. This helped hid his identity from the world so he could travel with ease. 

He has traveled to this small town following a rumour of a baby girl who was born with a black eagal marking on her back. She is said to be the saviour of their world. But before she has a chance she must grow, and with the evil still hunting for her. She must be taken away from harm and brought up in a safe place.

The young man pulled his horse to a stop outside a small thatched house. He walked over to the door and knocked on to it before waiting for the owner to open it. A tired looking man opened the doors. The bags under his eyes and the dirt that covered him showed he barely had any time to himself.

" Yes? How can I help you?" The man asked his brown hair shone in the setting sun's rays. The young man never said a word and pushed the man into his house and closed the door. The dirty man started shouting at the intruder, but when he turned to face him; he pulled off his hood.

" Prince Zion!" The man stopped before dropping to his knees. Zion reached down and picked up the man.

" Get up, I do not have much time. Your daughter, I must take her from here for she is in grave danger." The Prince said before rushing around to house looking for the baby.

" What do you mean?" The man asked, confused as to why he wanted to take his daughter.

" She is the one destined to save Ethos. She bares the mark on her back. If I do not get her to the next realm all hope will be lost and the Darkness will have won." Zion told him. The young man moved without a thought. If his daughter was truly in as much danger as the prince told him. He must let him take her away. He disappeared for a few minutes before emerging with a bundle of blankets in his arms and a satchel over his shoulder

"Her name is Gwestriel. Please, don't let anything happen to her." The man said with a tear in his eyes. He bent down and kissed her forehead and looked at his little baby with so much love.

" Remember that we love you, and we will never forget you. You are going to be someone very important one day and you need to be strong like I know you can." The man said before kissing his daughters forehead once more, but dragging it out as this might be the last he sees her. He then slowly and gently passes her over to Zion and then the bag. Just then a woman's wail rips through the house.

" You have to go now." The man ushered Zion out the door. It was pitch black by now and Zion had to make his way to the portal. Where he would then take himself and the saviour through and into a new world were she would be safe. She was placed in a loving home with two parents and she was brought up happily with Zion always watching over her.
