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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Hqd3Eb7w
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26jr3cgepB
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFeodpbHq7
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5bcU9FWQG
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2HaGiZlqc
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBSNZUMSDW
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrL9FnCh9P
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwy59KajZn
"Thankfully, it was just a minor incident," Kaylar said.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45Tl5Rgki
"Thanks to you, Josiah and Kaylar, I'm okay."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZZWA47bU6
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."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJHdDkaTVZ
Josiah gently lifted Edmund onto Kaylar's back and started walking towards the town. Edmund was grateful for Josiah and Kaylar's help, and he couldn't help but feel lucky that his mishap accident had not been worse.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL3PtibCip
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFggfm9HX8
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6sUpFspNO
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynngUIjLRy
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIE53od2F2
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOHUUJQEs0
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwC3XUk9nE
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGU1dMYI29
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnGXQOAdOn
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWElgbKEss
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLojwCusHL
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqPQP1gP0M
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qwtLTABiZ

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPDTnCQbNN
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotXFrJYHWN
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspuUho8tdf
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzdl6qDCl
"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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV5kMaBb0u
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAzU5mbFWv
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59CwaCmiEg
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?
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQNPt1Cnt
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l1iuZcfhJ
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8vfD3o94j
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k8WiC4Ccn
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tC1r8BdAe
"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."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5gBfJonc
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHanzl2AaS6
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YSJQce7kR
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIifj3awXa
"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."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJY8XAppWG
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5s89rdMK
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvov6QPJotK

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQqgjrvNoF
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBWWvuoOz
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihe5BSCJya
"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."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxuHqDy1Y
Princess Samantha smiled warmly at Kayra and gestured for a nearby servant to come forward.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGpI0hbZGz
"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."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm2ZzSbeJS
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQrNmHgmHc
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.

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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0jovGI4q
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0tSLeRI4k
As they walked, Kaylar continued to tell Prince Edmund stories of his travels, trying to distract him from the pain in his ankle.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDILQDVsP
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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKwkKE3Ssk
"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpN7gtgIrT
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.
