Description
This is the story of a young girl named Mina that lives in a distant word called  Lord's Realm. This land is parallel to ours. The story starts a few days before a terrible war starts. A war in which good and bad forces will battle and in which bad forces will win.....

The train continues to spiral up the steep mountain. My village; Varna is at the very top. I am returning from a trip from the plains of wild. The train slows and eventually comes to a complete stop. The village has only about fifty people and we have no paved roads. We don't even have a train station. I am the only person getting off at this stop.

I step off of the train and the cool air meets my bare lower legs. I start off down the path of crushed grass. Here we have no paved roads or sidewalks, it's not to big of deal since we only have horses and buggies. We have only one store, which has almost all of the necessities. My shack is conveniently beside the general store.

I shove the door open and throw my bag in. It lands on the couch (if you want to call it a couch; it's mainly a pile of sticks) and then I head back out, locking the door behind me. I turn right on to the main street. There are two restaurants, one is more formal than the other, the remainder of the street is lined with shacks. When I reach the end of the street I turn left and head in to the woods. To someone who has never been in these woods it would be a mind boggling endeavour but to someone as experienced as me it's a piece of cake.  I begin jogging and weave in and out of the trees while climbing up a very steep hill. Finally I arrive at the top.

I walk to the middle of the hill where a lone willow tree stands. The branches are low enough to provide cover but high enough so that there is a good view. I plop down and lean against the tree. Behind me is my village and in front are the Wild Plains. That's where I took my trip, and just as the name suggest they are wild; but beautiful at the same time. Of course the trip did have a purpose.....

"MINA"

Who yelled my name? Before I can figure it out my worst fear comes true.....
