My tears slowly fell from my eyes as I gasped. I quickly went downstairs, got into my car, and drove far away from that house. I couldn't stay any longer after what I saw. My husband was sleeping with another woman in our own bed. My tears blurred my sight, but I kept on driving. I didn't know where to go. I was mad, regretful of marrying him, but I knew this was going to happen. Our marriage was arranged. It was a one-sided love. I regretted the decision I made years ago. I shouldn't have forced my father to have me married to that guy. I had enough of it. Every day, he brought a different woman to our bed. I couldn't take it anymore. I kept on crying, my eyes getting blurrier. I didn't see the truck that was heading in my direction. I managed to avoid it, but my car hit a tree and everything went black.

In the gentle breeze, the flapping of wings is all I can hear, aside from the wind's howl. The air rushes against my skin as the window is forcefully opened by the blustery wind. The cold air makes me shiver as I hurriedly close the window, preparing to call it a night. I crawl into bed, covering my whole body with a thick blanket. The flapping wings of the birds don’t stop; perhaps they are distressed. I am almost asleep when a loud howl startles me awake. Quickly, I grab my bow, arrow, and a lamp to illuminate the dark night. Carefully, I step out of my shelter to investigate the creature responsible for the loud howl. "Who's there?" I utter when I hear rustling from the bushes. I cautiously approach the bushes to see what or who caused the noise, only to find nothing there. Reassured that there is no one or nothing present, I return inside and resume my slumber. As the moon sets and the sun rises, I gently sip my coffee as I prepare for the day. "Daenerys!" someone shouts my name, prompting me to go outside to see a desperate couple standing by my door. "What is it?" I ask. "Help us, I beg you," the woman pleads, kneeling on the ground, begging for my assistance. "On what?" I ask to clarify. "They are back!" the man exclaims, fear evident on his face. "Who?" I ask curiously. "Dragons," the man replies, his wife sobbing inconsolably. "They've taken our daughter," the woman cries, fearful for her child's safety in the clutches of dragons. "Dragons are the mortal enemies of humans, but once they were friends until the dragons turned hostile, attacking humans. Many lost their lives to the flames that spewed from the dragons' mouths. Some believe that humans were the first to betray the dragons, though the reasons remain unknown. To protect humanity from the perils of dragons, five elemental beings bestow upon humans weapons to defend against the dragons. - Aria, the Guardian of Songs and Silence, grants a magical flute to humans.- Marina, the Water Weaver, bestows a magical trident upon humans.- Zephyr, the Sky Sentinel, equips humans with a bow that shoots arrows of pure light.- Embers, the Flame Guardian, bestows blazing swords upon humans.- Solara, the Solar Sentinel, gifts humans a celestial staff. These weapons are bestowed upon the five representatives of the town of Northerville.

"I thought you liked me?" I asked Zachary, my tears slowly welling up. "I liked you? Nonsense. It was just a dare from my friends to date you for one month. You're such a fool to not notice," he replied.
