Yvlia was a flourishing country in the west, it had the largest territory and the strongest supernatural being, the king of Yvlia fought against the humans who wanted to extinct all demons. Their bravery made them head over all the demons. Daichi was a little village ruled by the Yvlians.
Yvlia had everything except an heir to take over the throne from their aging king. After years of trial, the Queen finally delivered a baby girl on the night of the full blue moon. Hazel; the princess was born with the prophecy of eliminating all forms of darkness from Yvlia. Since she was born on the night of the blue moon, she had the power of light, and the only way she could end darkness was if she stabbed herself with the hawthorn wood, all the dark powers that exist would disappear with her.
Everyone was happy about the prophecy except for the people of Daichi and the royal family. They were the smallest of all the three clans that made up Yvlia but they had the darkest power.
One night, the people of Daichi attacked Yvlia to fight for their freedom. After the attack, the King of Yvlia let the people of Daichi go, giving them the east area to settle down. The people of Daichi got a new king and started waging war against Yvlia. The Yvlians were supernatural beings who used their powers for good, while Daichi used theirs for evil. The king of Daichi put a bounty on anyone who could marry Princess Hazel, they didn't want the prophecy to come true.
Daichi had a crown prince who was greatly feared by all, Prince Lucius killed anything that challenged him, and one day he disguised himself as a poor man and got into Yvlia, where he saw Princess Hazel.
"Princess Hazel! Stop there!!"
Lucius heard some guards chase a lady in a silk dress.
"Princess Hazel?" He thought to himself as he ran to get the lady. He hid at a spot and dragged her into a corner, only for him to feel her hold his neck tightly.
"How dare desecrate my land" Hazel asked with a fierce voice, her eyes shone like the moon, and she had a glass face as if he could see through her. She didn't give him a chance to talk before she threw him over.
"Out of my land, I don't deal with weaklings," she said as she dusted an invisible dirt from her hands. Lucius attacked her from behind but she was quick to dodge it. They got into a hit fight, Lucius was surprised, she was very strong for a lady. They flew to a different location and suddenly she pointed a hawthorn wood to his neck.
"Leave now!" She said fiercely. Lucius was a bit embarrassed yet thrilled she was the first person to defeat him in a fight. He looked around and saw a fountain, they didn't have much in Daichi, so he was excited to see such.
"This is beautiful," he said.
"I asked you to leave," she said.
"Can I stay a bit longer?" He asked.
"Leave now," she said as he felt something on his back. He turned and saw she had placed the hawthorn wood on his spine.
"Fine, I'd leave," he said. But he tried to touch her hands, suddenly his fingers got bruised, the light that had formed a shield for her caused the injury. He chuckled and looked at his bruised finger, "I'd leave but we'd meet again". He brought out his giant black wings and flew up. "It was nice meeting you, Princess Hazel of Yvlia," he said before flying away.
She looked at him till he finally vanished from the air.
"Hazel! Hazel!!"
She heard her name from afar and she could already guess who it was. She quickly flew away only to appear at their backs.
"Gotcha!" She said laughing hard at the frightened looks of her best friends; Abi and Evie.
"How dare you frighten the leader of the dragons? I'd call my dragons to eat you up" Abi said as the trio burst out in laughter.
"Where did you run off to Hazel?" Evie asked this time around.
"Somewhere around " Hazel casually said. She didn't want to tell them about her encounter with the prince of Daichi.
"Common, tell us" Abi pleaded, blinking her eyes like a doll.
"Well, I'd tell you on one condition," Hazel said
"Which is?"
"Catch me…." Hazel replied, flying away quickly.
"That's cheating Hazel.." they said as they flew to catch her.

Lucius couldn't take his mind off of Hazel. He wanted to see her again and for the first time, he hated the fact that Daichi waged war against Yvlia. He thought of how he'd get to see her again, he couldn't propose marriage to Hazel but he decided to go back to Yvlia. He went back to the fountain the following day and he waited for Hazel but she never came. He slept on the rock, close to the fountain and only became alert when he heard footsteps, suddenly a soft hand pushed him but he grabbed the hands and they both fell into the water.
"Arrgh, are you crazy?" Hazel shouted at him.
"Hazel! I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were the one" Lucius said. "Let me help," he said pulling her out of the water.
"Ohh no!" She cried. "What am I going to do now?" She said.
"Your dress..."
"Yes, I know it's drenched, I ran out from a royal event to take fresh air only for you to ruin the dress" she complained.
"You shouldn't have pushed me you know," he said.
"Why wouldn't I push you? You are Yvlia's enemy and an enemy of my people is my enemy " she said. "Why are you here again after I warned you not to?"
"Cause I missed the fountain and I wanted to see you," he said
"Tch! You're one hopeless case" she said. "How am I to return to the ceremony now?"
"Did you run from your wedding?" He asked.
"I didn't run from my wedding, I just didn't like the suitor and I needed some air" she hurriedly explained.
"Hmm, I see" he chuckled as she turned to yell at him, she was shocked, he was very cute when he smiled.
