“Mother no, I beg of you! No!” I shouted, loosing my voice. She walked away from me, left me.

“I’m going for a walk through the village! We will talk later, but you will not waver the decision, for it has already been made.” The guards lowered the bridge, and before I knew it she was gone.

That was it, I sighed, turning back towards the grand staircase. “Princess, would you like to begin the arrangment of the marriage?”

“No…” I said disoriented, I couldn’t believe this was happening. All my life I have been looking for love, the sweet warmth, the safety.

I swiftly shut my door behind me, and sunk to the ground. I set my head and my hands, no matter how fancy my dresses were, or how much money I had, all I really wanted was love. Just, love.

I heard a thud on the door. I wiped my blurry eyes, it was not a thud but a knock.

“Yes?” I sniffled.

“Hello, I’m here to save you.” A man said, he looked unusual, wearing an outfit I’d never seen before. And he was holding a box, a box with a handle. He had black pants, unlike pants I’ve ever seen, and a shirt that was black. But underneath that shirt was a white one. With a black thing hanging from his neck which, looked familiar to a necklace… but one made out of cloth.

“From arranged marriage? Oh please!” I suddenly saw hope. Hope was a bright light, like the sun.

“No,” He chuckled, “Something much greater. Your kingdom is at stake, and the only way we can save it, is if you come with me… to the future.”

“Future?”
