All I could have seen was red - blood. It was the war between my two loved brothers. They hated each other and wanted to rule the world. One was - Moon Tey, and the other - Silver Tey. They once were best friends, but now became enemies!

They said that everyone needed to choose their sides, on which one to fight. But I was one of those, who didn't want to choose, so I technically became stray kiddo. My family got separated to two sides and their armies as well, everyone in cities had to choose as well, otherwise they'll lose everything they have. That's how the country got crazy... Everyone started to fight between and act so angry and so...betrayed.

But there were people who dared to bot to choose and started living as 'hide and seek' game. They had to not get involved into misunderstandings, and they had to hide from others, if wanted to survive in the cruel world. I was one of them. Since I was a child 12 years old, some people who were like tiny moving village took care of me. They'd often wouldn't have food but tried their best to smile all the time around kids and other people. They as well made an underground village for everyone. As long as kingdoms' leaders: Moon Tey and Silver Tey would not know, people will be safe...

There were very few legends of other people getting caught and killed, some of them cruel death. It would depend on the crime, leader and mostly leaders' mood.

One legend say: There was once a family, they were very greedy but didn't show it publicly. They had three kids: two boys and daughter. Their own opinions were different, so was their dreams. Boys wanted to have world for them and then they'd share it together and make world a better place. Then there was a girl. She was simple enough to just want to be with her family... But everyone was too busy. So she wanted to help them. But accidentally spilled some potion in their drinks, it made them go crazy, and in the end they started to kill everyone little by little. That's how they got their names 'Demons'. Actually then they had huge fight between and got annoyed of each other, so they separated... And that's how things were going horribly wrong since then...

Because of this famous legend people started hating the girl... But since I am her, I know that it's clearly lie... I know what had happened. But I would not dare telling it. Because they wouldn't get me right and would call me names... The truth was that the girl was very close to Moon Tey and distant to Silver Tey, because he was not a good big brother mostly. And Moon Tey, he lost his mind after one accident, he lost not only that, but also memories. So parents could have told him lots of lies and he'd believe it all.

B****ut the saddest part of the story is that no one who ever was by the little girl's side, was ever found alive. They've been found dead or lost part of themselves because of others... That's how the girl started getting worse and worse...

...But then there were good people around her. So they took care of her. That's how she got new dream. To get stronger and help loved ones. It might seem hard, but apparently her family was big enough to know how to fight in the cruel world......

*That's how she started her own journey.

...****************...

...After 5 years*...

...****************...

Couple of people at the underground village's house:

- Happy 17th birthday, Eleonora! We all came here just for you. For your fight spirit and a long way journey! - they all wished her happy birthday and pointed at the cake nearby. - We've baked it specially for you. And of course we have you a gift.

- Aaw, thank you so much! But guys, I know it's so expensive! We should save a bit...- I said.

- Eleonora, we've been waiting for this day, so we saved up a little. You shouldn't worry that much about things, - aunt said with relief. Her voice was always so soft and it was also a caring voice.

- Well, I agree on that one, haha, - I said. - I appreciate you so much!

Then we heard a loud noise. It was like earthquake. But it was way too sudden for earthquake. It was a fire and shots! It was an attack... I was so afraid of this day to come, but I always knew it will come someday... That was shock. We quickly started the plan B. Plan B was the plan made by the government if there would ever be a war warning. It was showed and explained to everyone, starting from toddlers to adults and old people.

I was about to go when uncle cached me. He wanted to give me a birthday gift. He took my hand and putted something long and heavy in it, and said:

-I always knew this day would come. Just so you did. So I have prepared you, my daughter, this katana. It was a long-lost treasure of a king - your father. I've found it with you, but since you were just a kid, I started to go to forgers to upgrade this weapon. It is made only for you, for heart of brave. - Then it was such moment, when I knew that I might never see them again so... I hugged them tight. The might last time...

...----------------...

I took katana with me and started walking towards danger. My new family was always teaching us fighting skills and tactics. At school, we've got most experienced teachers there was on the underground village.

I had experience from my childhood, when once I was attacked. The killer was an adult and wanted the food I had. So I've fought till I got rid of him…

Now I don't know yet which one is attacking, but I will go fight with them and go fight with one of my brothers. One still would be able to remember me and then other one wouldn't.

So now I was walking and slaying enemies with newborn katana. By the plan we should leave if there's any danger, and others go fighting, who just can.

Now I was going so well, when my katana got hit by other professional...

I looked into their eyes and my heart stopped. It was no other than my loved brother. He was fighting here, killing good people just for glory. He looked at me for a second and then grinned. Moon Tey became someone else. He's not the same... He has changed, hard. But somehow I saw that emptiness in his eyes. It looked familiar. I have known him the best, and I know there should be his kind heart as it was, I couldn't handle anymore, I said:

- ****You can't be like one of them! You are way better. You would never have raised a sword to a good person...you would have always helped to them. I can not watch you turn into a monster anymore****...- for a moment it seemed he thought about what I said. And stopped. He stood there and laughed.

- You think I'm better? You think so low of others? How can you say that? You do not even know me, so don't get lost too soon. I am the king here and I wanna rule everywhere! Everybody! - he stopped grinning and pointed to people around.

I could have seen how they die, how they suffer, the people I know and he said:

- You all chose death, that's your decision. Now just watch how I will kill everyone. How I will let them suffer after that. And all that's going to be left is - blood.

Now I was heartbroken, because it was true. We all will die even if not now. He won't let us live anymore after we'd run away. I have already seen those hatred eyes earlier... They won't leave my memory.

He suddenly kicked me and I almost lost my balance, but did not fall. We continued fighting. His sword was made by a special royalty family's forger. It had strong poison as well, so I must be careful. The venom is hard to get rid of, specially when you don't know what venom is there.

...----------------...

I also was wearing a mask, so no one out there would not notice her. Because she was like a dog's 5th leg for royalty family, they wanted to get rid of her.

...----------------...

A single tear dropped on her cheeks while knowing whole true. I missed my brothers and their warmness. But I didn't want to come to a killers' family anymore. Just as in the past.

I was about to use a secret technique, when he got me laying on the ground with sword by my throat. I didn't give up, I suddenly used it, so that I'd be able to get rid of his armor and shield.

He seemed to be surprised. But then just grinned again and started attacking.

While he was thinking :" Wait, this technique, it is only possible to use this thirsty blood' technique for royalty families members'. How is it possible?"

...****************...

Then I fell and thought: "Is this is how my life will end?"

......................

But then again... I've got some memories. When we were small: me, Moon Tey and Silver Tey, Silver Tey is the eldest one of us, so he would train us for future. He would train us the most, but I've trained more than Moon Tey. Maybe because I was stronger, 'cause I was always enduring not solving problems. Silver Tey is very good at martial arts, so he would train us for a very long time, that's why Moon Tey would mostly run away. Thought Silver was the eldest, he knew a lot about ruling kingdom or solving any problems, so he decided he would let Moon Tey train on that, so that he would have some experience.

So Silver Tey would be able to train me more. Moon Tey was never very strong, so he'd be tired very soon, but I would endure. I would endure and make my brother Silver happy and proud. Our relationship was more like a soldier and general, but still some time I needed to spend in general's training and some in ladies' school to learn proper manners for me as lady.

Silver was quite silent, but when he'd talk he would always be cruel. He would not care if something bad would happen to me or if I'd get small injury, that's how I am now stronger. But Silver would never be too kind. He was kindest to me in the castle, but still I hugged him just one time per all those years...

But now I am at least a very strong and very good fighter. That is all thanks to Silver.

......................

So now I looked down at my injury, it was bleeding, but then those words recalled: Stand up. Do you want to be weak one or strong one? Is it maybe just waste of time? Stand up!...

It was that moment when I decided that I won't be weak, I will endure as much as I'll need! So as before, I stood up. This time with frightful glare at Moon Tey.

I stood up in front of him with a pure heart. He looked down at me:

- Eh, you still want to fight? This won't last for long then...

- I was trained that way, and I won't lose, - I said.

Since I was always stronger that was smooth fight, but unfortunately now I was injured and couldn't use my brain too well. But since it wasn't first time I was aware. It was all in breathing technique.

At last, I cornered him, but this venom were strong enough to make me weak. My head started spinning and I was losing control of my body and brain.

I was fainting... All dark again. That is kinda painful to feel that there's no one by your side left and you have to fight alone for others' life...

I felt warmness...

...----------------...

...After a while I woke up....

...----------------...

My wound was basically tearing me apart from inside, the pain was huge... But I was calm. Not showing any emotions about it.

- Ah, have you woken up? So early? - male's voice asked me. It was actually a calm voice, which made me calm down a bit and feel safer. - Hmm, to be honest no one would've woken up so early after such injury... That's impressive.

I finally opened my eyes:

- I'm not just someone at that point. By the way perhaps you'd introduce yourself?

- Ah, yeah, I'm so clumsy. He-he. I am Atari Sanch. Is that all you would want to know, lady?

- You are doctor or...?

- Yes, doctor, - he smiled politely.

...----------------...

But I asked for it because I was with other clothes and my injury was on the leg, where I had my royalty sign - Tey family's special tattoo. It was a tattoo that was made of special materials and had its own meaning mostly. I had it on my leg, it was a little tattoo of moon and some other details, it was like a mini detailed portrait of nature. It took to make about a 6 hours materials and tattoo ink were specially made, not simple.

Moon Tey had his tattoo on his arm. It was a castle with some details that I forgot... But Silver Tey had his tattoo on neck. It was very noticeable. And it was a rare bird with lots of details, it was not only on the neck but also on the back, mostly no one knew that, since he has one little bird on the neck and other bigger one on the back...

I was the only one who decided to get a tattoo on a place, that people would not notice easily, because when I was close with one maid she suggested choosing a place which wouldn't be too open to people, that's why people don't notice me too much. Even royalty would not be able to say who I am because of that...

...----------------...

Now I was worried he'd seen that. But he was reacting too simple so I had my suspicions built up.

We were in the little house, but it was cozy and very fashionable in my opinion.

Atari was with white and red/black hair. His eyes were very beautiful, like an ocean and its waves… It was blue and a bit of white. His facial expression was kinda deep too... He was wearing a suit, as if he's going to some party or something like that.

And then one question slipped through my lips that got him silent for a while:

- Which kingdom are you living in? Where are we now?

- Well I don't know if I should say that because mostly people even sometimes get into fights just for that…

- Yes, I fully understand but since as you know or at least should know, I am one of those rare ones, who haven't chosen. You have to tell me a whole story as well, Atari.

- That is clear for me... So we are in Silver's Tey kingdom. Here we are not too far from center. Any questions you may have? - he asked while smiling and looking through window.

- Why this one? And why close to center?

- Well the other one is just, well I prefer a kinder and more understandable leader. And close to center, because I am a bit worried about our king and by the way I am a good doctor and I've got sent here, - he explained.

- So what's with the king? - it caught my attention.

- He would always show up to people to calm them down and to just show himself, but now since not too long ago there are rumors spreading around and he doesn't show up anymore... - with those words my heart stopped. I never wanted to see him weak or ill. I have always seen him strong.

And I was concerned that something was wrong, because he would have told me what good king should do, this was one of the things of the list...

- Let's go to king, now. I have some good information for him to tell...- I have to do something, otherwise I will regret... I know that, I can feel it...

- But security won't let anyone in. No one can go there... Sorry to tell you that. But maybe a letter would be a good idea?

- Oh, that's sad. Oh, I just remembered. I have to send one letter, may I go out?

He was confused:

- But you don't know the city, right?

- You don't need to worry, Atari, I grew up here, - I smiled at him.

**I actually grew up here, I would travel through a whole kingdom back then with brothers as well. So I knew this place perfectly.

...----------------...

So I walked out of the house**. I did not really get confused by the city's view. I have seen it a lot in the past.

Furthermore, I cut some way 'till castle. And was hurrying up. I wanted to know what was going on, and I wanted to see how he's doing, too.

Now I was standing in front of the castle. It was huge and way more colorful than it used to be.

I walked in the secret hallway that was mostly my playground and training place somehow...

I reached castle, finally. I was walking when I've noticed a guard coming, I hid and went to a room, but once I opened the door guards attacked me. But for me, they were too weak and slow. So I simply got rid of them.

......................

I was expecting that, Silver will recognize me, because of my coldly-warm eyes. And my unique hair.

Because we were kinda alike.

......................

I finally entered the royal room, where it should be the king by the law. But there was just no one.

- I can not understand, that doesn't make sense. King would always be here... No, wait! If not here, then... Bedroom...

I took one guard as a victim and was walking to the bedroom, no one dared to shoot or attack. They all just followed me with their guns pointed at me.

Once I reached the room, everyone were yelling at me, but then one of the generals saw me, and said:

- Your majesty, welcome to meet you again. Soldiers, get your guns to their place, that's not enemy! That's order.

They all listened. And dropped their weapons. I saw my brother, dear Silver, sitting in the bed and struggling to breathe... That was so painful for me, he still was my own blood, my family.

- Aw, I would always remember that scar upon your chin. I haven't expected you to come here. There should be a reason? - he looked me up and down, while coughing.

- My village, it was destroyed by... by Moon Tey. He has changed. I fought with him as well. And then with poisoned injury, one guy helped me and took me here. Since I've heard news, I needed to come.

- Sad, thought you might want to visit your big brother, - I just got my glare down now. - So you need help? Or what?

- Weren't you going to punish me? - I got my head down.

- I'm not beast. Don't worry.

- You have to be strong and stand up. Stand up, soldier! Do you wanna be weak? No? Then, stand up! - she was using the same method he used to use. And he looked stunned.

- Hmm, so I am a good trainer? - he giggled.- Yes, sir. I am strong, I won't disappoint.

He stood up and almost standing, almost falling stepped forward.

- Soldiers. Bring my uniform!

...----------------...

...He got ready and after some time come back....

...----------------...

- That is the only responsibility you have, soldier,- I said with proud voice tone.

- So, what are you planning?- he asked.

- How is your situation? Tell people.

How is your war position? Tell your people.

How is their king? Tell your kingdom!

Make some changes. Get up. And do your job. - I was smiling, while he stood there with proud

expression in his face.

- I see, I did a great job... Eleonora, - now my face was filled with few tears, he hasn't called me so since about when I was like 4 years... - Everything's fine, dummy, - he slightly smiled.

Now come, we have lot to do!

...****************...

...****************...

Then he got ready and pulled his crow on with his own and kingdom's responsibilities. He was now a real king, I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision, but I was in my deep thoughts, because he was now way warmer than before, perhaps because of his illness?

All of this was heartbreaking to be honest. Now I saw him as the king, warm and caring, not the old one that was so cold always towards me.

......................

*Now he walked out of the castle and showed himself to everyone. They were so relieved and so happy to see their king again, that it was heart touching!

He was very loved by his kingdom because of his well* behavior and understanding. He was a great king in their eyes...

I was worried about him... And for Moon Tey... Our family must've said such horrible lie to him, since he was so cruel now and with metal heart, as people say. But he was so kind, perhaps now I could help him remember and save him?

He still was my loved big brother after all... I couldn't lose him... Could I?

......................

Now Silver Tey was telling people the situation, of course not all, but still, at least something to calm people.

Anyway I could've seen he was just suffering while talking. He was in pain. In all of those years I became kinda careful about my feelings, I was taught that way my whole life, basically...

It was my pleasure to stand by the king, but I wasn't feeling that way. Instead, I was just, worried?

He was done talking now and after a while came back. He was tired, so Silver just locked himself in his bedroom. It was so strange! He wouldn't do that for his own sake... He would never lock his door, at least in the past.

...Maybe he has changed?...

...Or maybe my memory's bad......

I couldn't say different. I was just so confused. Then I heard some news from out the castle:

The capital of one Silver Tey's cities has been corrupted by Moon Tey. And now he's coming for his brother for his revenge.

But that was nonsense. There was nothing Moon could possibly revenge for Silver. Unless, he hadn't told me that yet!

...----------------...

I came rushing into his room, but as expected the door was locked. It was kinda hard for me to remember the other way to his bedroom, but I managed.

As I stepped in the aura was different and Silver was, gone? How's that possible? He was supposed to be here, but now...

As fast as I could, I jumped through the window and looked around. I was ready to attack suddenly, because I got full training hours, which was rare in our underground village.

I was looking fats but clear enough to understand the place and the best ways how could someone escape from castle.

And I noticed movement. It was clearly not a random person there, in the middle of night. They were also carrying something and moving fast!

So I rushed and jumped there, on the street. As soon as they saw me, they started to run faster than before. But I was already close enough to start my attack!

...*I took my katana with me and attacked straight to one guy's arm, that they'd let go of something they were carrying on, but he slapped out of it and stopped to fight me back. But it was an old-fashioned tactic to slow down your enemy, that's why I was kinda ignoring the dude. I was only focused on my target - the other dude. ...

Then the first one, that tried the holding tactic, attacked me from behind me. It was quick, but not something special, so it was easy to deal with.

As the other ran*, I tried to chase after him, but I had to get rid of one already. He used some black magic as well, and there was huge explosion!

Then there were lots of dust, and no one to see anymore. They ran away from me.

Now I also needed to head back to the castle and look around there, also tell them the news.

...----------------...

As I walked, everyone's eyes were on me, they were relaying on me now...

It was hard to say but I managed:

- Guards, people, and everyone I need to talk to your generals'. Only, - after a while generals came to me to talk. They all were confused. So I started:

- Now I have to tell you all something horrible. But not heartbreaking. At least not for everyone. Your king has been kidnapped. Any ideas by whom?

One general talked:

- It might be the Moon kingdom's spies, but there are no guarantees about that. We have a lot of enemies.

Then the other said:

- Yes, but we are already in debt as you all know, - he glared at one general, sitting in front of him.

- And what is the debt? - I asked. - I need to know the details to help.

The same general talked:

- Miss, I am general Onyuu, and I am the highest in positions here, after you, thought no one really cares my comments. But this one general made a bet, that he lost. Now we're in debt for some people, of the other Kingdom, who might be spies as well! And still this person's sitting right here, with all the privileges?! Hah! By the law he should be in his grave by now, but no.

- And can't you afford on paying back to them?

- No, miss. We are running low out of resources by now. And king had few ideas, that was kinda worthless. But since because of his illness his brain is messed up, it's just logical, - Onyuu explained.

- Ugh, I hate saying that, but... bring me the dress, royal one, please!

- What are you doing, miss? It's dangerous and people might not believe...- said one general.

I was with my cold glare:

- Hmm, and what are you planning to do? To say people it's fine with no prove? I don't think so! Huh.

Onyuu was just grinning. And walked away.

I just putted on the dress and got ready.

- Miss, do you need any other help? - maid asked.

- No. Get out, please! I need some time to myself. - she walked out the room. - To prepare!

......................

... After some time......

......................

As I walked out, people were in shock. They didn't expect that, right?

- Isn't that the long-lost princess? - one whispered to other...

- I thought she was dead...- the other answered.

...-Hello, my people, - with that I showed my royalty tattoo leaving everyone in disbelieve. - I came back to help my brother rule this Kingdom of yours. And I will do a great job, as much as I only can!...

People were cheering and some crying happiness tears. Thought there was just a bit of gentle smile on my face. From all that I have learned, I wasn't going to get my brother, Silver, down.

The enemy wanted to make a chaos, but I turned it to happiness as I could see. I ruined their plan, as expected, they didn't think of this place swapping possibility. But I have lots to do.

...Now my plan is to - Ruin them all....

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

...Plan list:...

...1. Get to find out who's behind all of this....

...2. Particularly attack them....

...3. If there's going to be chance - see what's going on in the Moon's Kingdom. ...

...4. Make them all live hell/ruin them....

...5. Take back Silver Tey to safety....

...6. Bring back the beautiful and peaceful Silver's Kingdom. ...

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

I was getting ready to begin my journey, as the guy from before - the one that took a great care of me after the war that I was in, came in.

- Oh, hey! Are you getting ready somewhere? - he asked.

- Yeah, I really appreciate what you did, you saved me. So I will give you a reward, so you got to think vise and tell me what you want as reward after I come back, - I said.

- Wait! I wanna go with you! You're still going to need a doctor and I still know some spells to cast. So, take me with you!!! Please, miss, - he bowed in front of me.

...To be continued. ...
