It was early in the morning. Everything was so eerily quiet, it was so unusual. No chirping of birds. No small animals scurrying away to get their food. The skies are gloomy, full of dark clouds. And the wind is chilly, it was the start of winter. The ground are full of snow. It is not a great day to make a morning ride. But hence, there was a lone boy who is riding a majestic horse in the middle of a winter cold morning.

Prince Edmund and Kaylar, The Talking Horse, A Male Steed were on their way to the nearby town for some supplies for their trip to the woods. Kaylar was talking about his adventures in far-off lands, while Prince Edmund listened distractedly. Suddenly, there was a loud crack, and Prince Edmund was thrown off of Kaylar's back.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cIaWAoRFq
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdULhGTx58
Josiah, The Jaguar, one of the Royal guards of Prince Edmund, was patrolling the area nearby when he heard the loud crack. He immediately sprinted towards the source of the sound, and as he approached, he could hear Kaylar's concerned voice.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRvW8Uooud
As he burst onto the scene, he saw Kaylar tending to Prince Edmund, who was lying on the ground, dazed and confused. Josiah quickly assessed the situation and realized that Prince Edmund had fallen off Kaylar's back due to a broken saddle strap.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwoxs5JXMu
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xjyG8sj1a
Edmund groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his ankle.
"Are you hurt, Your Highness?" Josiah asked, his keen eyes scanning Prince Edmund's body for any signs of injury.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnrFLvRI3N
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMGpMYkIUW
Kaylar and Josiah helped Prince Edmund up, and they both inspected the area where they had been walking. They noticed that a large tree branch had fallen onto the road, and that was what had caused the accident.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGmN3jd7mR
"Thankfully, it was just a minor incident," Kaylar said.

"Thanks to you, Josiah and Kaylar, I'm okay."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3UVLXiJf
Josiah nodded, relieved that the Prince was not seriously hurt. "It's my duty to protect you, Your Highness. I'm just glad I was able to help."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQlIK2iu5L

290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPT040j56l
As Kari, The Female Gryphon, soared high in the sky, keeping a watchful eye over Prince Edmund and his companions, she noticed the commotion down below. She saw Prince Edmund fall from Kaylar's back and watched as Josiah quickly came to his aid.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ITBm26b2
Kari had always been protective of the royal siblings, especially Prince Edmund. She remembered how he had saved her and her baby from certain death when they were attacked by a group of hunters. Since then, she had felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him and had vowed to protect him at all costs.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqMLtZFEs
As she descended towards the group, she could see that Josiah had already fixed the saddle strap and Prince Edmund was safe. She landed softly on the ground, her large wings folding neatly behind her.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1qBKM5a4t
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPhyMQm9O
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh8rTZ7cE4
Kari nodded, relieved to see that he was unharmed. She remembered how he had risked his own life to protect her and her baby and felt a deep sense of affection towards him.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cI5M1vwAp
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrTf7mvR3V
Edmund nodded, grateful for her protection. From that moment on, Kari continued to watch over the group from the air, always ready to swoop down and protect them if needed.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj0qaL6dFN
As they continued on their journey to the town, Kari felt a sense of pride and affection towards Prince Edmund. She knew that he was a kind and brave soul, and she would do whatever it takes to protect him, just as he had once protected her and her baby.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2MZgD1vRI
Kiro, The Alpha Wolf, leader of the Royal guards of Prince Edmund, stood silently in the shadows with his team of elite guards. They had been trailing behind Prince Edmund and Kaylar, keeping a watchful eye out for any potential threats.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDDMO6LriJ
As they observed from a distance, they saw Kaylar rush over to Prince Edmund, who had fallen off his back. They watched as Josiah, The Jaguar, came to their aid and helped them fix the saddle strap.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsFTKSCrlU
As Kaylar rushed to Prince Edmund's side, Alpha Kiro watched closely, ready to spring into action if needed. He could see that Josiah had already come to their aid, and he felt relieved that the situation was under control.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuW8EyyQH2
Suddenly, Alpha Kiro spotted the broken saddle strap and saw why Prince Edmund fall off Kaylar's back. He immediately signaled to the other guards to remain in the shadows and observe their surroundings for any potential threats.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaiUQ3vdQX
He had a keen sense of danger and was always on high alert. He scanned the area, looking for any signs of potential danger, but everything seemed calm.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUIImX5iEd
Once he was sure that there was no immediate threat, he turned to his team of guards and gave a nod. The other guards, who had been keeping watch over the town, quickly made their way towards Alpha Kiro.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIeRqo6oYv
He relayed the situation to them and ordered one of the guards, Kayra, The Female Cheetah, stepped forward and Alpha Kiro gestured for her to approach.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dpJMWTtBX
"Kayra, I want you to go back to the castle and inform the royal siblings that Prince Edmund will not be returning soon. Let them know that he is alright, but he wanted to stay in the town for a while and explore," Alpha Kiro instructed, his voice firm and reassuring.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKmhCfgJvW
Kayra hesitated for a moment, her eyes fixed on Alpha Kiro's imposing figure. She wanted to stay and protect Prince Edmund, but she knew better than to disobey the Alpha's orders.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWNqQwKdp5
Reluctantly, Kayra nodded and sprinted off towards the castle, while Alpha Kiro and the other guards remained hidden in the shadows, keeping a close eye on their surroundings to ensure that Prince Edmund, Kaylar, and Josiah were safe as they explored the town.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbITOiskmj
As she sprinted through the forest, Kayra's mind raced with worry. Why did Prince Edmund have to stay behind? And why did Alpha Kiro seem so tense and guarded?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcE5m7aDYV
She pushed herself harder, her paws pounding against the soft earth beneath her. The wind whipped through her fur, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR87tai5mR
When she finally arrived at the castle, she was panting heavily, her sides heaving with exertion. She burst through the doors and raced down the long hallways, her claws clicking against the polished stone floors.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJb64JKwdd
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPW1DFB9HC
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENb6rkb8b0
"Prince Edmund is alright, Your Majesty" replied Kayra, trying to catch her breath. "He just want to stay for a while to explore the town and he'll be back soon."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNrQ8p6AHV
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSAoYtbzE
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl0y1qOP2J
Kayra hesitated, unsure of how much she should reveal. But she knew that Prince William was Prince Edmund's closest confidant, and he deserved to know the truth.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGOUQLFPPc
"I don't know exactly, Your Highness" she said slowly. "But Alpha Kiro seemed very concerned. He ordered me to come back and tell you that Prince Edmund is safe, but he needs to stay for a while."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRntn2MfDkU
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1FgnFis8B
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniL19D0kE

290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3LhZ9DK23
Kayra ask permission to the royal siblings to return to her post for guarding Prince Edmund. Princess Samantha ask Kayra to stay for a while and take some rest before she go back to Prince Edmund and that she needs to bring some supplies for Prince Edmund and the royal guards if he needs to stay out for a while. So, Kayra agreed that she will take a rest until the preparation of the supplies was prepared. Princess Samantha called a servant to prepare a meal and to care for Kayra.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtScTR6tALU
Kayra was grateful for Princess Samantha's kindness and nodded in agreement. She knew that it was important to take care of herself if she wanted to be an effective guard for Prince Edmund.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NBJQxH5JS
"Thank you, Princess Samantha," said Kayra, her voice filled with gratitude. "I'll take some rest and wait for the supplies to be prepared. I appreciate your help."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMtTj2DIk5
Princess Samantha smiled warmly at Kayra and gestured for a nearby servant to come forward.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXMZCNCODb
"Please prepare a meal for Kayra and make sure she's comfortable," she said, her tone gentle and kind. "And let me know as soon as the supplies are ready."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsb4hsN5g2
The servant bowed deeply and led Kayra to a nearby room where she could rest. The room was cozy and inviting, with a soft bed and a warm fire burning in the hearth. Kayra lay down on the bed, feeling her muscles relax for the first time in what felt like ages.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROEBzzBxaL
As she waited for the supplies to be prepared, Kayra allowed herself to drift off into a light sleep, feeling safe and secure knowing that the royal siblings were taking care of her and her fellow guards.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuiCERXGt6
Meanwhile, Alpha Kiro and the other guards continued to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice if needed.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhAAWHNAD
With that, the three of them continued on their journey to the nearby town, with Josiah walking alongside Kaylar and Prince Edmund, keeping a watchful eye out for any further danger that might come their way.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqtqzgopo1
As they walked, Kaylar continued to tell Prince Edmund stories of his travels, trying to distract him from the pain in his ankle.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2R4UyUwmP
Eventually, they arrived at the town, and Kaylar took Prince Edmund to the local healer while Josiah remains outside the door to keep an eye on their surrounding area.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzcvPgUHkh
"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Lifgy4p0
The healer examined Prince Edmund's ankle and confirmed that it was indeed just a minor twist. He gave Prince Edmund some herbs to help alleviate with the pain and told him to rest for a few days.
