Far away from the human world, on a glorious day, Gargodom existed big and magical, medieval in all the sense of the word. Their creatures strong and majestic, living peacefully. Ice, fire and healing powers were known amongst each other. Being ruled by a fair King and Queen, who everyone adored and respected.
Fire gargoyles would warm up the cold days, and light up the night. Ice Gargoyles would cool the heat, and healing Gargoyles would help warriors and any other subjects recover. They all have a great role in the kingdom. They were an important part of Gargodom.
A very excited crowd was waiting outside of the castle, for today would be the day where the future heir would be born. The most awaited moment had finally arrived. They were all anxiously waiting for the King to come out to their balcony and show their future ruler.
Queen Alianor was screaming at the top of her lungs, her baby almost arrived to the world. The full moon in the night sky meant he or she would be a powerful and magical Gargoyle one day. The royal doctor was telling her to push.
“Your majesty, you need to push harder" he ordered. She tried with all of her strength to bring their little bundle of joy to this world. After a few more minutes, they heard a loud cry. Alianor and Ulric were amazed at the sight in front of them.
“It is a girl!" He said while giving it to one of the handmaidens to clean her up. Happiness took over and Queen Alianor was full of joy. King Ulric gave her a loving kiss on her sweaty forehead.
“I am so proud of you sweetheart. You are one strong woman" he said, smiling down at her. The handmaiden handed the baby and when she looked at her at her she knew she was going to be destined for greater things. She could feel the magic surrounding her. Powerful magic like no other.
King Ulric used his hands to form a blue cloud over her daughter, forming a safety net around her. "This is for you my little girl, you shall be saved from any harm, and protected from any evil" he said while putting his hands on her forehead.
“What are you going to name her, your majesty?" the maiden said, smiling and helping the Queen bundle her up. She looked at Ulric and he said,
“Thea, our little girl will be named Thea"
“It is perfect" she said and while they looked at their daughter, she added, "I love you little Thea"
All of a sudden, one of the warriors slammed the door open "Your majesty. Hunters are attacking our castle!" At the mention of this, everyone moved.
They all knew what to do. The women and kids were being transported somewhere safe, while the warriors would stay and fight. Their Gargoyles were strong and powerful. Each one of them used their own magic to stop the hunters. There were many of them, but that wouldn't stop them.
“Let's go your highness, we need to take you and the baby out of here" She heard the doctor say. She was scared for everyone.
"No, take my baby. I need to stay with Ulric and protect everyone" she said handing her baby over.
Who knew that would be a bad decision? The hunters ambushed Alianor and Ulric. They had them tied up to a tree facing the trunk. Their wings forced to be let out.
"These beasts are dangerous and deserve their fate. We will teach them that we are the powerful race!" the leader of the hunters yelled. She looked at Ulric as he tried to calm her down.
“It's okay honey, everything will be fine" as he said this, she felt a lot of pain while in one single swing, their wings were completely gone. She screamed and growled. The Kingdom lost its light. Magic was slowly fading. The hunters took her wings as an offering for their collection.
One of their most precious possessions was taken from them. She could see Ulric going through the same fate. He tried to stay strong, for their kingdom, for their baby. After all that ordeal, they fought with the little energy they had left and were able to escape. Taking all the strength she could to run alongside Ulric. The founf the doctor at the entrance of the castle, grabbed the baby and took off running. They had to save her. She would be the future and the savior of their Kingdom.
