Aster laughed Happily with Raven but soon froze and looked out the window. “Daddy what is wrong why’d you stop?” Raven asked her father with her little head tilted and catching Ophelias attention as she looked at her husband. “Aster?” Ophelia asked concerned and Aster looked at her a bit before looking at Raven and patted her head. “Sorry sweetie daddy got distracted.” Aster said but then looked at his wife with a concerned looked and it made Ophelia worried. “Um Dinner is ready lets all eat.” Ophelia said as she put the food in bowls as Aster got Raven settled at the table and told Roberto and Allister to come and sit down. Roberto and Allister looked at each other concerned for how Aster was acting earlier. They both sat down with the three of them and looked at the food. Roberto could tell it was really thinned out soup to accommodate the two of them when the three barely had enough for themselves. But Roberto watched a little Raven eat happily the thinned out soup and compliment her mom along with thanking her for the food making Ophelia smiled at her little girl. 

Allister tried the soup and it was not good for it was really watered down and barely had any flavor or even nutrients to raise a growing child. [I]”This is how they lived for so long?”[/I] Allister thought as he looked up and watch the three of them eat and still smile. Allister could tell right away that they knew it was not great but they had been at least great full to have even any food on the table at all. But what caught Allister attention was how Aster once in a while kept looking out the window as if he was expecting to see someone or something. After they all ate Ophelia was wiping up Ravens face while Raven just laughed and giggled a bit from all of it. But Aster was still looking out the window and he saw him moved his lips but no words could not be heard from him.

While the people of the forest were getting ready to settle in for the night the kings troop started to make their way to the people of the unsuspecting villages of the forest with the orders to find the prince and kill but also kill those that stand in their way.

Aster looked worried before finally taking a deep breath in and turned towards Allister and Roberto with a small smile. “I believe it will be safer for you two to leave our home.” He said before going to his wife and whispering in her ear and making her go wide eyed with fear while Raven looked confused at her parents. Aster bent down to his daughter and pulled out the family heirloom pocket watch. “Raven I am giving this to you for this has been passed down in my family to all the first borns in our family and since you are our first born it belongs to you now.” He said and Ravens eyes sparkled at the pocket watch for she has seen her dad use it and showed it to her a lot and she could not believe her dad was suddenly giving it to her. 

But soon screams were heard and Ophelia looked out the window. “Aster they are here already.” She said for Aster had told her what he saw coming. “Hide Raven quickly.” He said and Ophelia picked her up. “Come on sweetie you need to hide.” Ophelia said as she went to the rug showing a secret door wile Aster went to Roberto and Allister. “Quickly you two need to leave also.” He said and ushered the two out the back door. “Wait you need to leave also they are going to kill you and your wife if you all stay here.” Roberto said to Aster wanting his son to come with along with his wife and grandchild but Aster smiled. “Thanks dad but history can not be changed for this was preset a long time ago.” Aster said and Both Roberto and Allister looked shocked from what Aster said. “Please take good care of my daughter, your granddaughter, father and also do not force her or push her away from her destiny to not only save lunar but the kingdom of Dainia.” Aster siad as he cast a spell and teleported them to safety. Ophelia hugged Raven one more time tight, “Remember my little black bird you are so loved no matter what happens me and your father will always be with you no hide and no matter what do not come out and do not make a sound.” Ophelia said and lowered Raven into the floor and closed the trap door  and covered it. Aster came back and hugged his wife and that was when the guards barged into their home.

Roberto and Allister appeared at the base of the road that lead to Dainia and Roberto had tears going down his face for what his son said and soon many of the residents were starting to flee in fear. Roberto tried to push against them to get to Asters home but with no luck. “Sir stop you are going to get yourself killed.” Allister said trying to hold the old king back. “No I have to save my son and his wife I can’t lose them.” He said but soon stopped as he saw the fire start to rage burning homes and most of the forest down and more people fled from their homes screaming and crying. “No...” Was all Roberto said as he watched his people be slaughtered and flee for their lives. Allister stood by the kings side and gripped his shoulder.

Little Raven was watching the raging fire also as tears streamed down her face as she watched the place she has called home before turning and following the crowd of people fleeing their homes to take refuge in Dainia.

Roberto stood there as tears feel. ‘I am such a fool Allister I thought I was protecting my son and his future but look what I did I lead my son to death and granddaughter having to grow up to what she had to survive and here I am after finally reuniting with her I try to control her like I did with Aster.” Roberto said and Allister looked at the king. “Sir we are only human we make mistakes she is here now and you need to let her get used to this the fact she is a princess and the fact that she loves the crown prince they are soulmates and as Aster said it is her destiny to save both kingdoms by the sounds of this this was preordained by a great being or the universe there is no changing it all we can do is learn from this past and walk forward for everyone’s sake I think that is what the being inside Raven wanted us to learn.” Allister explained and soon a bright light consumed them and Eliezer along with his knight and in the midst of darkness Ravens stood before them but the different voice spoke. 

“I see you finally learned something and you are Right Allister all of this has been decided by the great beyond in hopes to bring peace between the two kingdoms and stop something even worst that was predicated to happen.” The voice explained to them and she held her hand up and a ball of light appeared. “Now I think it is time for all of you to return to your time and forgive me Eliezer it looks like i may of caused you some trouble but no worries.” She said as she let the ball of light float before him. ‘I will give you this use it to help with that dear Lady Adelina and her family it is a protective spell to make sure they are safe no mater what.” The voice and and she waved her hand. “Be safe for the time of when the path of destine is to split is coming soon one leads to death and destruction of both kingdoms while the other is of peace and harmony only the choices you make will decide which future shall unfold.” The voice finished and a light blind them all and soon all four of them found themselves back in the room they had been earlier in the manor of Lady Adelinas family and Raven lay in the bed deep in a sleep but the only difference now was that she had a white streak of hair now on the left side on her face that mixed a little with the rest of her black hair.
