"So the horse that I met is a special existence among its species and is called an 'etcher'?" The little girl inquired once again which made the man sitting next to her frown. The Captain had explained the entire concept of the etcher and their etched and this was what she had asked about in return. This had been the second time that she had asked the same question and he was already getting tired of being her tutor. 'Training a child is extremely taxing when compared to training a squire.' He…-

When King Ophire read the lines that spoke of how the guards had been wrong to disobey the King's orders and had gone over his head to inform the Prince, he was overjoyed. The reason for this joy was the belief that the King had in his brother. 'He is capable of becoming the next King yet he refuses to train for the same.' He sighed when he recalled the numerous conversations that they had had about this matter. Ophire had planned to train Draco to become the next King after him yet the young boy…

King Ophire glanced down from his throne and laid his eyes upon the men who had arrived a couple of hours after they had ventured outside the Palace grounds in search of the etcher. "Has the etcher been located?" He polled and the excitement in his heart soared when he saw them nod. It was true that the etcher had been found, but they had not been able to retrieve it since it had already claimed the daughter of the St. Claire family as its etched. Therefore, in answer they raised their heads, and…

The warm afternoon breeze wafted through the window into a bright room bringing with it the scent of the freshly cut grass from the garden below. A young boy sat by the window as he stared out at the clear blue sky, lost in his thoughts about what the future might hold for him. The languid and lazy demeanor of his made it seem as though he had no care in the world. Soft golden hair as it swayed due to the breeze blowing into the room made him lift his hand and brush them to the side. The room…

The Black Shadow guards who had been scouring the city of Amarthea to find the huge and monstrous etcher which had managed to escape its bounds, stumbled upon a unique scene when they arrived at the St. Claire Estate. True to their reputation of being the best, they had taken only half an hour to locate the etcher and their search had finally come to an end. As they sat on a branch of a nearby tree, they secretly observed the child with the Captain of the Red Scorpion Knights along with the two…

While the Black Shadow guards had been following the orders by the King to search and bring back the etcher meant for Prince Draco, Yvonne St. Claire was gazing at the very same etcher. Her mild existential crisis had come to an end after she realized that there was nothing she could do even if all she was now was a fictional character in the script that she had rejected. Demon had now accepted Yvonne as his fated etched and was standing next to her, shielding her tiny body from the harsh morning…

The last time that King Ophire had seen this etcher was when he had commanded his guards to keep him safe. However, today his steward had come with the news that the etcher had been missing. This news made him frown as he stared down at the servant who had been assigned the duty of looking after the etcher until Draco could get back to the Palace. The young Prince had gone out on some purpose unknown to the men in the Palace and all they had information about the elusive prince was that he was to…

King Ophire glared at the man who had come bearing such inauspicious news that it had made his mood to sour. "What do you mean by missing!?" He growled and arose from his seat. The difference in the heights of the two men was evident once the King stood before the steward. Though this steward was physically fit and had a muscular build, he was still puny when he stood in comparison with his lord and master. Ophire gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes when he saw the cowering figure of his…

"What do you mean by 'He escaped'?" A man roared as he glared at the servant whose back was bowed down with his head lowered. The trembling shoulders indicated that he was frightened at what was about to happen to him for he had failed his duty of keeping watch. The servant who was bowed had been so worried about his future that he had not observed the shuddering body of the man standing before him. "Go back to your station and await your orders." The man commanded which was instantly followed but…

Captain Reel stared at the beast standing before the child and then at the little girl who smiled as she gazed into the large beast's crimson eyes. "My demon!" Her voice echoed in his ears, bringing him both joy and distress. Joy that she was unharmed and had managed to do something miraculous while distressed that she had done that same miraculous deed. The Kingdom of Rosenhyde had a rich history and numerous accounts of people who had formed this special bond with a beast. The beast could be…
