2 Farewell, Little Rin (1/2)

The sound of countless screams echoed throughout the night as the small village was lit ablaze. The fire spread engulfing the huts and trees with a dancing golden flame.

Deep within the dark frosty mountains, a flash of golden light could be seen dashing through the vast trees. A young woman breathed heavily as she ran through the dark forest.

Seen hidden within the woman's arms was a small figure. A little girl.

The heavy sound of horses hooves could be heard chasing behind the woman as she ran. Suddenly, the figures of men dressed in black emerged from the bony trees.

The woman halts at the sudden ambush, gritting her teeth hatefully as she grips tightly to the child in her arms.

”Stay down Rin,” The woman softly whispers to the little girl.

The small child's large eyes look at her mother with understanding as she clutched tightly onto her robes. She smiles at the little girl before coldly shifting her emerald eyes at the approaching figure on the white horse.

Emerging from the trees was a muscled man wearing dark red heavy armor, and strapped around his neck was a golden emblem with the character ”Li”. The man seated on the horse sneers down at the woman and child pair.

”You should have accepted his proposal when you had the chance, Ai,” The man in armor's cold voice rang throughout the trees.

The woman known as Ai curls her rosy lips into an icy sneer.

”I'd rather sacrifice my soul to the devil himself then marry that monster!” The woman glared murderously.

Hearing such words come out of the golden-haired woman's mouth caused his eyes to narrow dangerously— flashing with ill-intentions.

”Capture her and transport her to the dungeons,” The man orders the men in black. ”As for the princess...kill her.”

Nodding at their General's words, the men in black close in on the woman and child.

Shifting her gaze calmly around the group of strong men, the woman places the petite girl down onto the frosty ground.
