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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LtoyfSdT
He landed hard on the ground, and Kaylar immediately rushed over to check on him. "Are you okay, Prince Edmund?" Kaylar asked worriedly.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMyS5aflOX
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4QOs4bwEy
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiODNqVeyiD
Without hesitation, Josiah sprang into action. He quickly retrieved a replacement saddle strap from his pack and expertly fitted it onto Kaylar's saddle.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XuhBT4Iww
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iHVaeODKM
"I'm alright," Prince Edmund replied, still a bit shaken. "I think I twisted my ankle," he said, trying to sit up.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWN2qha1gX
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJLy82jUm
"Thankfully, it was just a minor incident," Kaylar said.

"Thanks to you, Josiah and Kaylar, I'm okay."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pwDYIzc7C
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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXWhM80oQy

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUcyapDQtz
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjyfrRNz1
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y4bL0sB8h
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sBbaBTcDe
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Kari asked, her voice soft and gentle.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWW0pgixty
Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "Yes, Kari. We're alright. Thank you for your concern."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Pb9Amo5m
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqCjJHgVw8
"Please be careful, Your Highness. I will continue to keep watch over you," Kari said, her eyes scanning the area for any potential threats.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmukrHu5IKM
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtOTuOWaO
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPjYG49WE
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBr4OzVyyf
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyMwM1y1j
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpCULASFzI

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdeeIROWq
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0ixjdza1
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMoGk7cWnn
"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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUXgKcT23a
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd78rQuie5
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzBP9AzgjX
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?
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGdPg2u8E
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb7K4Cv6uu
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEQ09Ixu72
At last, she reached the royal chambers, where she found Prince William and Princess Samantha waiting anxiously.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3tjWue57b
"Kayra, what happened?" asked Princess Samantha, her eyes wide with concern.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR9jB5gOYp
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyahxqfn6
Princess Samantha's face relaxed in relief, but Prince William looked skeptical.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDS8crtHWT
"Why?" he asked, his voice tense.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuKxaTrSxT
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8vJcQrAkM
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi3nKhwyp0
Prince William's face darkened, and he looked as though he was about to say something, but Princess Samantha interrupted him.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVzVbIxDUC
"Thank you, Kayra," she said, placing a comforting hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "We'll stay here and wait for Edmund's return."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64fLK4myCp

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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGkQAA8fZ
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdDRwAAJBg
"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."

Princess Samantha smiled warmly at Kayra and gestured for a nearby servant to come forward.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSRTOyIGwE
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx32LsU5BDR
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zdWhOXs4v
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.

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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOkF4v9dpJ
As they walked, Kaylar continued to tell Prince Edmund stories of his travels, trying to distract him from the pain in his ankle.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcJNPISjjw
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4mTdMULO
"Let's get you some help, Prince Edmund." said Kaylar.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSJfraq6zB
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.
