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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDm8MriuU3
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCF6JrYEWe
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvzADWbbPY
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU8g1VjKyl
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsXct2ngiy
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZGMM1Dsuh
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCcjQiTHtx
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV6A7eOtv2
"Thankfully, it was just a minor incident," Kaylar said.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuay1BmP9v2
"Thanks to you, Josiah and Kaylar, I'm okay."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQvu4mHHp
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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulUb6vwpL
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnqLDMGIuU
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85hQw5M8t
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESyQc3aEI4
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCBDbNOPcn
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdaSDGVXOR
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrnNWRl98F
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZu62SI3TA
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4pJjao9v7
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKj3LT87iG
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavt0u8rw84
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kt3Fop3HU
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtgIPCTnJI
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCe3O22rkf
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA3HcvIzbv
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAnQGhQulG
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxSTOqPvT2
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKgxbdHj0q
"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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiAFzBGoby
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthEUSl0bE
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPplhGmSD3c
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?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCBAmpva7
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp10QkwYasU
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc3cwb66VS
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJhiNAb3g
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDueKtAkoV
"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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ypKyGAai
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmPO4fclH
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEtSIhHjqq
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1aAtJ3Yt
"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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUvYCFn0aL
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROMybrSKzg
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWucgmRmr2
Kayra nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She had done her duty, and now it was up to the royal siblings to decide what to do next.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTqcUvcPXL
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXe6fnTAFd
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9VNXUUXF7
"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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYCYARMKy
Princess Samantha smiled warmly at Kayra and gestured for a nearby servant to come forward.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLIBZghDE8
"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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwHdfTB3P5
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPBipnqnt8
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxFzSYCDsk
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq8e97usHo
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfn16kZFN8
As they walked, Kaylar continued to tell Prince Edmund stories of his travels, trying to distract him from the pain in his ankle.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ6LjZtbyc
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxtEBiB6oe
"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9yQORTKg
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzEEUnTBpo
Kaylar stayed with Prince Edmund, making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8w4Zt1Bds
The two of them spent the next few days exploring the town and learning about its people and culture.
