f running like a crazy woman out of the gate. She ran i

ut she still had her wide smile on. As she stands at the edge of the majestic waterfall, the thundering rush of water fills the air, creating a symphony of nature's power. The mist from the cascading water caresses her skin, offering a refreshing embrace as she gazes in awe at the breathtaking sight before her. Her heart races with excitement, fueled by the sheer magnitude and raw beauty of the waterfall. The sheer force of the water crashing down fills her with a sense of wonder, as if she's witnessing something truly extraordinary. The air is charged with energy, and she can't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. Every droplet of water that dances through the air seems to carry a piece of the waterfall's power, and she's consumed by a sense of exhilaration and freedom. In this moment, everything else fades into the background, and she is completely present, captivated by the sheer force and beauty of the natural world. It's as if time stands still, and she is immersed in a world of pure wonder and excitement, feeling the spray of the waterfall on her face and the thunderous roar in her ears. It's a feeling of being alive, of being in sync with the powerful forces of nature, and she is overwhelmed with a sense of joy and gratitude for being able to experience such a breathtaking spectacle. " IT BEAUTIFUL ..." A scream of shock and excitement escaped the princess's red plum lips. She was about to jump into the water when she heard. "Ahhhhhhhhh_" someone screamed in horror,fear and Anxiety. Which sent chilling down the naive princess spine even though she was scared she wanted to know who was screaming and why. Still debating either to check on the person or not. "Ahhhh_" she heard another scream making her jump in fear with her heart throbbing in her chest. With shaking legs she started taking heavy steps towards where she heard the scream coming from. Walking Into the forest with shaking legs she could still hear the person screaming for help but it seems as though it is not just one person but Many people. And they really needed help. She was hearing roars from the animal which was hurting those people. Which made her want to run but as the princess of this great kingdom she has to save her people. getting hold of a large log of wood and clinching tightly to it, she walked closer to a big tree then she hid behind the tree and looked forth but gazed in horror of what she saw. Right before her was a man with a gigantic figure, with white hair embracing the wind and white robe sweeping the floor. The brock man grabbed a man by the neck and raised him off his feet. Then the Brock man opened his mouth and started soaking out a very dark smoke from the man he was holding. after soaking all of it, the man he was holding turned into dust and vanished into thin air. "Ahhhhhhh....." Princess scarlet screamed in horror as hot tears started rushing down her eyes with her trembling hands trying to cover her mouth. Immediately she screamed, the creepy man turned sharply towards her, making the log of wood which she hid fell from her hand without her knowing, her whole focus was on the creepy man with dark purple eyes staring steadily at her like a predictor staring at his prey. With her whole being trembling in fear, Sienna started taking slow steps backwards still holding the gaze of her predictor. She did a quick turnaround and before you knew it she t
