With the wind whistling against her ears Urena like Alice fell deep in thought. She was thankful Alice did not question who invaded her home killing her family. She wasn’t ready to reveal that information just yet as she could only imagine what she must feeling. In accepting the mission given to her she knew she would be the one to break the news to her about her family. Urena at only 19 years old had served in the army since she was 16 had never been given such great responsibilities. Out of the many soldiers that served Gaia had selected her and she vowed not to disappoint her even if it meant sacrificing her life for the greater cause. She was small for her size however what she lacked in size she made up with strength and courage. At an early age she had been abandoned by both her parents. She learned to survive on her own by stealing and fending for herself. One day while attempting to steal coin from what she thought to be an abandoned sack she found herself engaged in a fight with the angry owner. As luck would have it that owner just so happened to be Gaia. After easily defeating Urena, Gaia saw something in her and took her under her wing welcoming her into her home. There along with Gaia’s daughter and wife they raised Urena. Under the guidance of Gaia, Urena mastered the use of the sword eventually following Gaia’s footsteps she joined the royal army. So, it came as no surprise why Gaia entrusted the safety of the sole heir to the throne with Urena. She worried about Gaia, her wife Cybele, and their daughter Rhea silently hoping they had all survived.

Alice still with her arms wrapped around Urenas waist is numb. She was hoping the events that occurred was all a nightmare she had yet to awaken from. Her beloved mother and sisters we all gone never to walk, speak, or breath again. She was alone, for the first time left to survive and live life on her own. Her sisters had always protected and looked after her. There was no greater pain than what she was experiencing. For her this felt worse than death. In a matter of days her life had been turn upside down and forever changed. When she closed her eyes she could still visibly see her mothers contagious smile. Her sisters all taking a liking to different scents she imagined taking in their smells by taking a deep breath and then exhaling. Still closing her eyes she could her there laughs and voices. “What was to become of her now, “she thought to herself. From an early age she was taught to believe whatever was foreseen was predicted by the God’s. She always believed that to be true that is until now. “What good could ever become of losing her entire family?” Whatever the Gods had in store she was unwilling to accept especially at the sacrifice of her family. As her thoughts continued to consume her Urenas back eventually became soiled with her tears.
