Episode 1

  Once upon a time, there lived a girl. She lived in a forest in isolation away from the world. She was named Amelia by her parents who were there no more with her.

 Her parents died when she was seven leaving her alone in the forest. Fortunately, she learned how to survive in the wilderness from her parents. She lived in a small cottage left behind by her parents.

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

     In the morning, she opened her eyes, the shabby ceiling of the house made of wood and the sunlight intruding inside her room through the small cracks greeted her with a "Good morning". She smiles slightly and looks at her bedside.

She was looking at a pendant. She open it and greets softly "good morning" and smiles. Inside, there was the picture of her parents whom she misses at night and greets at morning.

Amelia POV:

How many years have gone? It's already 10 years since I lost u guys... today's my 17th birthday... I miss you, mom...dad....*looking at the pendant with her teary eyes*

***

My everyday life was quite monotonous. I woke up early and greets my parents a good morning. As I live alone in this forest, I hunt my own food. Fortunately, there are no wild beasts except for some small animals ,else I would have died several years ago.

BUT something changed on my 17th birthday. I would never ever forget that day.....the day, I met "him"......

***

After I woke up, I go outside my little cottage, stretching out. I look up the sky. It was a clear day…very clear...even the Clouds couldn't be seen, but the birds were still flying high up in the sky.

I looked at them as they went off flying, wondering to myself "How can they fly so care freely? how I wished to be a bird myself." it was my silly wish of mine to be a bird since I was a child.

I picked my basket and went out into the forest to search for some edible wild berries and other fruits. I also collect herbs to sell them. Yeah, even though I lived in seclusion in the forest, it doesn't mean that I am out of reach from the outside world.

There is a small village near the forest. Though small, it was always bustling with people's voice and laughter. It was also one of the commercial center of the empire, so I get a fair amount of money by selling herbs. Luckily, I know most of the area of the forest so, it was not that hard to search for

herbs.

I explored the forest for about 2 hours and my basket was full of herbs and some fruits. I went home, put the fruits in another basket and grab my cloak.

I wore my cloak, not even showing a strand of my hair and walks towards the village with the basket of herbs in my hand.

As I frequently come and visit the village, most of the villagers know me, especially the aunties who sell their produce to me at cheap price.

As I walk towards the herb shop, I flinched hearing a voice calling me from a distance..."AMELIA"

I turned around to see.....
