《A forgotten ruler》prologue: a 6 year old girl in the woods
Advertisement
Ling Yue stared at the deer in front of her with three horns and shook her head. Her hands shaking as she held the small obsidian knife in her hand. She was nervous as she looked back at her father holding the deer in place for her. Knowing her she didn't want to do this, she was too kind though she was a half goddess. A strong yet kind girl who wanted to let things be how they were supposed to be. Instead he gave her mocking smile at her without saying much at first. THis was his way of telling her not everything will go her way.
"Father I can't! It's a living being like us. It has to feed its family too." (Ling Yue)
"How can you be the child of me and the goddess of the dead Ilbeus." (Tori)
Her golden eyes were in tears as she stared back at her father. Sniffling as she shook her head to his words. She didn't want to kill the deer, life was precious. Her hand stretched out to her father as he left without another word. But she understood his meaning. He was leaving her alone to survive in the forest to survive by herself.
"Wait father! Don't leave me here." (Ling Yue)
His short silver spiky hair blew in the wind lightly as he scoffed at her. She couldn't even kill a stupid deer here in the upper worlds. (A: the netherworld is in a separate world. Where she's at is a mash of all eras combined into different worlds all linked together.) Ling Yue stared at the frighten deer that ran away from her. 6 years old with long silver hair up to her hips, her little wolf like ears on her head twitch. She didn't want to do as he
"Father I know your watching me! But I just can't kill these things. Please just take me home." (Ling Yue)
"Your going to be left here until you come to a decision. Harden your heart these miniworlds all mashed into one huge one is more dangerous than you think. If you can't even kill them it's useless to survive." (Tori)
She knew her father left since she could no longer sense his presence. Ling Yue was afraid of him doing so and wanted him to take her back with him quickly. Her stomach growled in protest, she stared at the hot sun before sitting herself under the shade.
"I will not kill them stupid father." (Ling Yue)
"Animals are friends." (Ling Yue)

Ling Yue sat there for a while until she fainted from hunger. Stubbornness of not wanting to give in to he really father's whims. Though she knew he was trying to teach her that this world was cruel to those that lived in it. Nothing goes as you want. Her imagination got the better of her. If she was with her mother she'd be out in a tea party having sweets. But remembering those parties were with other gods and goddesses it felt awkward for her a half goddess.
A six armed bear with red fur swung at her head making her come back to reality. She ducked and rolled, that swing almost hit her head. The claws hit the tree where she was seating against crushing it. It made her wince, that could've been her head. She forgot to pay attention to her surroundings due to hunger. Her stomach growled once she remembered that she was starving. Ling Yue couldn't help but roll over on to her back instead of her front being on the ground.
She winced when she noticed her tail wouldn't allow her to do as her please. It wrapped itself around her making her moves more stiff. Making her remember she couldn't control her tails when she was hungry. This made her silently curse herself in her own head. 'I should've packed some food into my storage space. And I can't use any magic while in hunger. Stupud father shouldve warned me first.'
"I'm so stupid being happy father said it was a outing trip with just him and me." (Ling Yue)
Her silver hair blew in the wind as she glared back at where her father had once stood. If anything she wanted to go back home instead. While she was still in a dazed she saw claws coming towards her left side. It made her come out of her daze as she realized it was two headed red bear. She narrowly escaped the bear's claws but she couldnt help but remember her mother's words. "When in danger their instincts take over them, it's a mess to clean up the mess afterwards." Just then she was hit narrowly by its other paw.

"Ugh this, this damn bear! Can't a girl go into the woods for a few minutes without getting attack." (Ling Yue)
She rolled away in pain but tossed sand into its eyes and ran for her dear life. Her breath was rough as she ran deeper into the woods with a boken rib. Ling Yue no longer cared since she was thrown into the woods by her dense father. Whom of which she worried if he was in the right state of mind for throwing a 6 year old girl here. Noting down her broken ribs from the impact she couldn't help but be angered. Sure being desperate had given her enough power to runaway from the red bear. feeling tired she almost collapsed in the forest clearing. Yet she knew she shouldn't let down her guard or she'd end up as someone else's food. By being lax earlier she had almost died, her legs collapsed under her. Instead she was reminded of the sensation of fear from the bear attacking her.

A sudden pain like her heart being stabbed many times reminded her that her father had warned her not to get too emotional or there'd be consquences. After calming down she opened up her inventory and put on her black gloves. After changing her sky blue dress into a black coat and a white shirt she felt at ease. She also put on jet black pants and brown boots with a small knife in her hand.
"At least I remembered my storage magic also works."
Her eyes wondered up to the sky that showed it was around noon to which she knew the animals were now gathering food. A gowl escaped her stomavh making her remember she too was hungry. She nearly forgot her own predicament. Hearing her own stomach protest she couldn't help but be embarrass.
"Damn it. This reminds me back home of my useless father's indecisive side of not knowing what to pick. So he lets our idiotic kins in the netherworld be undecided about going modern or going medival. And that's in the capital."
In fact she wasn't wrong to be angry since their world was the Realms where other worlds coexisted altogeher. She couldnt help but sigh from the unnecessary information she remembered about her home. but the current main world she was in was a mixed era one: modern, anicent and advanced technology all mixed into one time period. none of these civilzations seemed to clash except the blackmarket dealingsand slavery which she heard from her father.
"Hunger is everyone's number one enemy! It makes me think of needless things. Yet I've never starved myself before. Nor do i want to no what a hingry demon wolf I can be like a crazed state on hunger pains."
LIng Yue clutched her stomach carefully leaning on the trees as she slowly regenerated. She felt fustrated as her tail curled around her body. Rather it made her reminisce about the one time she forgot to eat for a whole day because she had gotten herself locked up in the library. A glint appeared in her eyes as she heard a rustle from the bushes. Her nose twitched as she raise her face to smell the air. What she didnt notice about herself was the excitemnt she felt for seeing the horned white rabbit in front of her. She readyed herself with her small knife in hand.
"I'm sorry but I'm going to have myself a small horned rabbit tonight."
Rather seeing it ignited her anger because when they first arrived she was happily chasing a rabbit. to which her father warned her not all cute things weren't as they seem. Then she was lured away to its family, then in a mocking manner it popped pellets onto her shoes. She wasnt sure if this was the same one but seeing it angered her. All she wanted was to cuddle them. Afterwards it did a chase and tag as if mocking her slowness. To ehich made her current self sure of one thing this little devil and its family members had a high intelligence. It jumped up and kicked her face while she was deep in thought so she charged at it in anger.
It then jumped on her left unarmed arm as if to say see i won. Her face turned angry as she was once again mocked. It's eyes seemed to say 'give up you've lost already before we even began this game.' In a sense the rabbit wasn't wrong since she had no experince in battle since she was a 6 year old child only.
The rabbit seemed amuse since it lived in the forest fending for itself in the forest so it learned a few tricks. It thought this wolf beastmen was funny since it had played with it with it's brothers and sisters, yet her she was starving from hunger. If Ling Yue could read it's thoughts she'd drop the idea of skinning it only. Even if she told her father she wouldn't kill needlessly. She tried to knife him since he was so close to her, as of knowing the rabbit kicked her weapon away. When LIng Yue tried to pick up her weapon it bit her hand which made her wince. Her hatred for the rabbit only climbed up as it gave her a glare as if to say your so weak even I pity you being in the woods.
