Worstal City (3)

Twenty-two Years Ago. The Lost Realm.

"Lily?" Wes looked around his small simple house for his wife. She was gone, everything was left behind except her personal pouch and the weapon he bought her to protect herself.

He needed to find his pregnant wife. Quickly dispatched soldiers to search the area, he made his way back to the mansion to alert his father and mother. It was night already but he knew that he needed his father and mothers support to help find her.

"Mother, Lily is missing. I got a report of a false emergency and when I went back to our home she was gone." Julia's fake surprised expression was oblivious to Wes. He was much too focused on where his wife could be to really pay attention to else.

"Let's inform your father, he will be able to contact other cities and ask to search for her." Wes nodded. He just wanted his wife and child back, was she kidnapped? There was no sign of forced entry, none of this was making any sense to him. "I'll go speak with your father and you get some rest son. You're too much of a wreck to help anyone. After you rest I'll have a few things packed so that you may find your wife."

Wes wanted to complain but he knew she was right, he had so many thoughts running around in his head that weren't helpful but were very much there.

Julia made her way to her husbands study. She will never be over the fact that her husband was the most handsome man she had ever met, it's too bad he never loved her. "Your son's wife has disappeared."

"It's been a little under two hours since they left. Where could she have gone? And why?" Master Xans glanced up from his documents to look at his wife. He never denied she was beautiful but she was too mischievous to hold his heart, he learned that she was capable of any evil when they first met. "Did you threaten her?"

"Don't be silly, Vector. The little girl worked here, I'm pretty sure she already knows what I'm truly like." Julia smirked placing her fingers on Master Xans desk. "It is either, she ran away because she was afraid of me or she ran away because the child wasn't my sons... It doesn't matter. I would have killed her for ever crossing my sons path."

"Julia!" Master Xans banged his hand hard against the desk rising up from his chair. "Is there no limit to all of this? Your son loves her, for once let it all go."

"Never."

"I'm sorry baby.. Mommy has to leave daddy for a while." Lily was crying streams. Her intention was to stay hidden, she couldn't even reach Wes or else Julia would find a way to intercept or do much worse. "Mommy has to wait until you're born, okay? Mommy loves you."

Lily held onto her baby bump as she kept running across the fields. She couldn't stop. If she was to make it to the outer rim in the east she had to move as fast as she could before anyone could find her.

Finally after a few hours, dawn was coming up and Lily's weak feeble body was crashing down. She could see the entrance to the outer rim, it was a dark and ugly difference compared to the grassy fields she was running in. "Just a little further."

She chose to come to the outer rim because she knew that nobody would come looking for her here. It was said that no one has ever gone out into these parts of the land and lived to come back. Lily was willing to take that chance for her baby, the reason she kept going.

After she reached the border she collapsed into a deep sleep on the ground of the outer rim.

"Is the soup ready? You think she'll eat it?" Lily hearing began to function a woman was speaking but her eyes wouldn't open. "She must be from the inside of the rim. She has nice clothes, plus she's pregnant."

"We will just have to wait and see after she wakes up." A man's voice followed after the woman's, Lily opened her eyes to find herself looking up at a ceiling with a bed under her body.

"Where am I?" Lily looked over at the beautiful woman with emerald eyes and auburn hair. "You're in the outer rim in the east."
