This is Just a short story I wrote down today in my own little universe. I hope you enjoy!

It was the year 1030 I recall, a year into the eternal war and the year the princess went missing. Ah princess Celia daughter of the king and fairest of all the princesses in Asturia. She was sent on Octus 12th 1030 to the far off kingdom of Bulcrest to cement the alliance between the two kingdoms through marriage of one of the royal princes.

She boarded the ship liberation on mid day on the 12th. With a fond farewell from the crowds below she entered the mighty airship destined to Bulcrest. It was the finest of the fleet trimmed with fine shades of gold and blue and the interior like a palace.

The might ship took off with a mighty spin of the propellers and then the kick of the engines. It flew high, high up into the skies above protected by an escort of military grade fighters. They will follow the air ship to the Bulcrestian border and then the Bulcrest air fleet should provide further support.

Everything went according to plan by three'o clock the ship arrived at the Bulcrestian border and the fighters flew back home. Yet something was off. Not a ship in sight but a small merchant vessel and a large ominus cloud covering the ship in darkness.

One lone soldier stepped out unto the observation tower and saw something high above the ship. A dular military craft! Before he could sound the alarm a shot rung out and hit hi directly in the head. The Dular craft dropped down in altitude getting to the side of the Liberation soon firing on the the main engines of the Liberation effectively trapping it. All over the Liberation the naval infantry armed from combat most grabbing first a shock rifle and a sword. All over the twin deck of the ship the N.I. began to fire back at the Dular ship, a exchange of fire began to rip apart the ranks of both the Asturians and the Dularians.

The Princess sitting in here state room went to the door after hearing first the explosions and firing and now the sound of breaking glass. As she opened the door she could hear screams from down the hall and a bright flame in the room next door. "What the hell are you doing!? Get down this place is a war zone!" shouted a soldier before having a sword plunged into his chest. Behind him a few fellow soldiers charged the invading Dular. A bloody exchange began between the Asturians and the Dular marines.

The princess scream and tried to run back into her room but noticed a Dular soldier climbing in from the window. She bolted down the hall see could see blood and bodies everywhere. This was no small strike force this was a full out attack. Throughout the ship the Dular where hacking down the Asturian marines and passengers but, not without taking heavy losses themselves.

The princess ran to the lower deck on the right hand side of the ship and saw the large Dular 'Imperial Class' boarding ship. A mighty beast of war able to carry a detachments worth of troops and equipment. She heard a shout from the door behind her. Imperial Class "Their she is boys! The princess of Asturia she'd make a mighty fine gift for the commander would she not?" they approach her. As they step closer she get's to the very edge of the deck. "Oh come on don't make this too hard for us. Just give up your miles above land and no where to go!". She had a choice to make be captured by the Dular for whatever sick purpose they have in mind or.... "Oh hell no! Don't let her jump you idiots! She is worth more then your salaries combined!" Before the soldiers could reach her she jumped off the deck into the desert far below.
