Fun fact before we start, the names of the kingdoms are different translations of clearing and maze :)

Every story has a beginning.

I mean it has to right? Without a beginning, we can have a main character, a villain, or an ending. Beginning, middle, end. It's a fact of life.

Our story begins in the faraway kingdom of Labirint, with our Queen Attina.

Looking out the window of a large castle was a rather tall woman, a crown resting on her long purple hair and magenta eyes staring down at her citizens.

After a knock on the door echoed through the room, it opened, revealing a young woman with matching purple hair, small white wings fluttering anxiously over her head. "You called me mother?" "Ah, yes darling. Come, sit." The older woman patted the seat next to her, watching as the young angel hesitated before sitting down and adjusting the skirt of her dress. "Now, you understand why I called you here?" "No, im afraid I do not Mother." The younger stared down at the floor as she twisted her hands in distress.

The queen sighed. "My dear angel, as you know, one day this kingdom will be yours." She waited until her daughter nodded before continuing. "Now, as a queen, you will have to make sacrifices. Some of those sacrifices will be crucial for you to rise to power." She turned to the window. "Now, I assume you know about the nearby kingdom Opruimen? Their princess is around your age, isn't she?" "Yes mother." "Well," She stared her daughter in the eyes.

"I think it's time for your first lesson in sacrifices."
