Synopsis
Unlike the average teenager, Alethia is a 19 year old girl who seemed to have no interpersonal associations and another world to her own. In the eyes of other human beings, she was silent. She often refused occassions that required her to socialise, and rarely shared her views and ideals with others explicitly, keeping most feelings and thoughts to herself. In fact, not many people would know her, or try to understand why she is the way that she is, unless they truly interacted with her. The only possible place she might be found would be in the attic of her uncle's cottage deeply embedded in the forest, and the only humans people would associate her with is her uncle (Atticus) and her rather clumsy yet much more popular female friend (Cressida). Alethia gradually came to understand how different human beings can be after years of observing and interacting. Under the guidance of Atticus and her life experiences, Alethia was actually not silent, but authentic, vividly imaginative, loyal, optimistic and slightly eccentric. It was a normal Saturday morning, with white canvases mildly tainted with specks of grey. After investing a lot of energy and time to explore the arts, Alethia decided to take a breather in the vast, tall and thick expanse of green nearby her uncle's house. It was a place where she could be herself, and at one with nature. However, things started to change when she chased after a fox and chanced upon someone rather visually appealing yet remarkably annoying. From then on, Alethia embarked on new adventures, discovered truths about her past life and crossed paths with enemies who are simply out to destroy everything she loved. Follow her footsteps to discover the true tale of optimistic yet eccentric Alethia!

Chapter 1 - Epilogue - Death of the Last Princess

"Now...I shall do it."

Gently placing the letter on the desk, handwritten immaculately with bold lines of crimson that became more prominent under the pale, luminous streams of moonlight, she calmly rose from where she sat for what seemed like eternity, and walked steadily towards the main hall with soft and heavy footsteps.

For a long time, she was finally at peace - a sense of calm that finally rewards a ship that has long weathered numerous, turbulent storms at sea.

As her pale, slender figure stood silently in the centre of the main hall, she slowly unsheathed her sword, intricately carved with engravings and marked with the blood of countless enemies, and silently marvelled at it.

This sword, personally crafted by her beloved mentor, has been her most faithful companion in countless of wars and life experiences, long before she remembered. However, not a moment, especially the present moment she is in now, must be wasted.

She slowly turned the sword towards her abdomen, relished the last moments before the abrupt end of her life and spoke her final words from the deep recesses of her mind.

"Farewell, beloved world. If fate permits, we shall meet again."

With a deep, sorrowful smile, she swiftly plunged the sword within her abdomen. Waves of crimson liquid oozed out of the wound...and within seconds, the last Princess was no more.
