Tigris
It has been a day since I left my home, a week since the letter arrived and a month or so since our kingdom noticed the beginning of the Darkness. My father had been preparing for war but the moment the letter arrived, he prepared me to leave.
I looked up at what has become of our kingdom's old castle. My heart dropped as I see it's once bright stained windows turn dark in lieu of the magic that spread. It was through here that I would finally leave my beautiful kingdom for a place unknown to me.
I pull my hood over my bright hair and clutch the small pack at my belt, feeling slightly reassured by the rustle of paper that was my saving grace. I was glad that my parents had decided to build a new castle in the middle of the kingdom a few years ago for if they had not, who knows what would have happened. I cast a simple glamour around me as I see some of the Dark Enchantress' minions lingering in the slowly deteriorating forest. I hope to all that is powerful that the letter is not a lie as I step into the Dark territory.
