Introduction

A thousand years ago, there was known a legendary warrior who had fought so many battles. This warrior have blessed a powerful armor.

Many believed that this warrior came from heaven, a warrior of sovereignty; because he lived on the sky. Everytime there was a catalyst on earth, this warrior was mysteriously appeared, like a help from above.

No one knews who is the man, masking and wearing the armor. But this warrior fell on earth, he was thrown away into the forest. That times, he got stabbed by a sword on his waist, and his magical armor was weakened by a black spell. It was a dark flyer who caused him to weaken.

"At last, the realm is on our hand!" Declared by a black winged man, with a thorny crown on his head.

The people on earth didn't know exactly about the warrior they believed on who had helped them many times, but the real existince of this warrior is not only a warrior but also a king.

The black winged creature believed he was dead, and nothing to expect more about him. His magical armor had been crushed and it was scattered, no magic on sky or on earth could make it assembled again.

The power of the armor had crippled but the warrior had survived from a strong crushed.

He is almost died and loss his consciousness, he fell on the place where the green and tall trees were grown. It is abundant of wild animals and plants. There were only few people who dared to wander in that Nook place. But only those who dared where full of skills and survival experience. Some believed, there was a hideous creature who lived on it. Some said it was a giant snake, but other theory said, it was a cursed monster that attack and scavenge human flesh.

Coincidentally, there was a group of people who witnessed the fallen object in the sky. This group was a hunter, they hunt wild animals in the forest, using a bow and archery. On the group, there was a woman who joined for hunting, her name was Ellica. She has a spirit of a warrior, but her ancestors did not allowed women to be a warrior, that's the tribe tradition. Everytime she went for hunting, she sneaked time to train herself from the mid of the forest. Hunting for her is her training and she has a skill but she hides it and keep its voice to silence because she is a woman.

This woman is originally a daughter of a king, and everytime she had a time to skip, she would happy to meet her hunting comrades. She enjoyed hunting with them, because they're good and kind to her. Some of them were her childhood friends that's why they knew exactly who she is. She is a princess. But she had never been in love with the other guy and that's the king are worried about.

"My daughter... I worried." Her father looked at the horizon outside of his palace and breath heavily, thinking that his daughter might be alone without a husband. "She must marry as much as possible, for she need it."

Ellica always thought, marrying a man is like giving herself to be a slave. "Why should I marry if I could not live free... marrying a man is like chaining myself." She said while she walked in the forest. Her mind can't concentrate and something bothering her. "My father has always remind me to marry. But,"

Ellica saw the fallen object and she wanted to come where it might fall. But her comrade stop her and warned her thinking that there might be a danger if they approach to go near.

"Ellica... Stop!!"

"We're in danger... We must depart now!!!"

"Listen to us!"

"That object might be a theory that people are frightened of... Wether it is not that thing we think, but for sure there's something behind that." Only a concerned man left while the other run so quickly like sensing a coming threat.

"I saw something, I mean... A man falling like an angel." She said. But her mind still confused with what she had saw.

"It is impossible for us to see clearly... The fallen object is very fast like a meteorite or a shooting star that last for a second." The man told her very auspicious. "We heard, going to that very ambillical forest, you might encounter horrible things!"

"I dream to be a warrior... a warrior should not be afraid on anything."

"But, your father might be worried about you if you're not going to come with us?"

"Don't tell... promise me not to tell anything about this thing." She hold the hand of the man to beg him. "Especially to my father."

The man breath deeply. "Come back before the night has come, and be a live."

She nodded and run into the forest with the determination and courage. The man had seen it how she was determinate for the first time. "I know she would come back safely."

Ellica traced the cloudy line from the sky. The paths were getting narrowed and a lots of obstacles, like roots that grown on the surface curved unsymmetrically. Stepped rocks that peaks on her way. Grasses were tall and very sharp like a blade, and some were prickles. Each decayed logs were covered by a moss and other fungus plants. She heard different uncommon chirps of the birds but still she considered it as a bird like to the other bird that she had never heard it before.

She thoughts that the fallen must be somewhere not beyond her perimeter. Considering that the fallen object is not far as she imagined. She had lost the trace and she could not determined where exactly the thing has been placed. Although, she knew it was north but not specifically know where it was located.

She had saw something on the tree, it was a bird, when she get closer the bird looked at her. Then flew purposely like pointing something. Luckily, that bird were not uncommon for her, she knew that it was a Peregrine bird.

"A Peregrine!" She said. " There were many stories about that bird."

It is a practice of old people, when they saw the bird before the battle, the warrior had expected to come, and to fight along with them. "It is a message of refuge!" She exclaimed. Although it was an old story that came to be a legend. Stories have two faces that you should lean wisely. Not all stories were true, not all written stories were facts are inked.

She followed as much as she can, but she still got lost her track. There, she might end up with nothing, hopeless, and thinking that she are just wasting her time searching something that are not easily to be found. And risking herself just to find the thing.

"I never thought, it was harder than searching for a needle." She was weakened emotionally and feeling discouraged. She realized that she would have to go back home than staying alone in the forest for so long. Yet, her life will be in peril if dark will be reigned.

A sound like a hawk called her attention to see what's in there. She walked cautiously on every step made, her heart and mind seems unparalleled, it caused her heart to make a loud beat that gives her uncomfortable feelings. She felt uneasy feelings. A sonorous echoes in her mind turned her courage to be in a state of discontinuity. Something unpredictable behind that noise. What its look like? A monster...? mimicking a sound like a hawk? Well, doesn't feel good at her.

An unusual movement on the tall grass, something big, but it is covering by a perfect green grass. She grabbed the Archer on her back and took one edged arrow shaped like a perfect dive of a falcon. On the other part, she saw a tiny crete made by a fallen but it has a depth inside that can be turned like an empty well.

"This must be the answer... The theory that people are talking about on this forest!!" She started flexing the strong string of the bow, with a good fit on her body position. The bow and arrow were ready to be released. "A living monster must be slain in my hand!" She gnarled on excitement and also the fear that something questioned her capacity. "What kind of monster is hiding behind the taller grasses?"
