Cecilia is a woman in her teen, daughter of Theresa and Savier, a once knight family but demoted due to lack of performance.
Now, they live in a rural area, a small village located at the southern part of the kingdom.
Her father serve as a guard, while her mother do the house works. They are in peace, they barely felt any disturbance within the area except the monsters.
A humble life but with a happiness in it. Like the ones read in books or novels.
But just like a story, it always doesn't end up staying in one place. A misfortune struck, since they have no full contact outside the village, they are practically isolated from the rest of the country.
Because of this, they have no news of the current event transpiring within the kingdom. And that's when the tragedy struck.
Their village was targeted by the invaders of the neighboring kingdom and kill all possible fighters including her father. Her mother, who doesn't have proper training was immediately apprehended, raped, and killed.
It was truly gruesome, perhaps, it even left a long-lasting trauma to her. It all happen so fast, as if a storm just pass by and yet, it left a disastrous result.
She cries, cries and cries until her last teardrop fell. Within the confinement where her mother hide her, she didn't move for a long time. Despite the hunger and thirst she felt, she didn't make a move.
As of now, she probably have the least amount of energy to use. The darkness hides her skinny body that once was a nurtured and healthy girl.
What only awaits her is death, and she can only accept it as her fate.
She close her eyes and wish that everything are just a simple dream. And for the last time, she cried.
"Mother..."
She mutter, without energy left to lift even her small lips. She even tried to grit her teeth, yet it awfully felt painful.
But then, it happens.
Light shone within the confinement as the door that leads to the room of her parent open revealing a man with clean unusual clothes. His smile was gentle yet full of sadness.
"What have they done to you." His voice have anger, not directly at her but to those who hurt her.
The man lift her, look at her eyes to see only the almost lifeless pupils of hers. Her blue iris still shine the moment light reflected from it.
Her body appear and reveal an almost skeletal structure. The man look at him with nothing but sympathy.
"You're okay now, don't worry anymore, just rest." The man said and gently hug her.
Cecilia, at last, felt warmth and made her ease her troubled mind. Her last remaining energy soon vanish as she close her eyes for a rest.
The man look at her gently, he touch her bangs and remove it to see the whole face of his targeted person.
"It really is her." He said before leaving the room full of blood.
Once he step outside, a huge metallic bird reveal itself from the center of the village. The former houses of the villagers are gone and only the bird-like vehicle can be seen.
He get in the vehicle and soon departed from the abandoned village. Despite resting one of the seats, the man still hold the girl with utmost care.
He can't get this love of his life be in danger anymore.
