Set in the present day, a group of friends go into the forest camping and play a prank on one of the girls by leaving her with only her rucksack and going to set up camp somewhere else. The girl is physically strong, but emotionally quite weak, however the group aren't aware as it's never come up in conversation.
After a few days of endless walking in a daze, she comes to her senses and starts to look after herself better. Little did she know, she was being followed by a boy. (side note: the boy could be a mythical creature or not.) The boy places things that will help her (eg. berry bushes, streams) and she carries on walking. After subconsciously following a trail set down, she comes across a clearing. It's here that the boy reveals himself. He says he's from a kingdom full of different species of mythical creatures.
At her choice, he leads her to it, where he also reveals that she is a descendant of the king. She stays there and learns their ways - practicing how to use a sword and learning which plants are safe to eat etc.
Everyone in the kingdom welcomes her as a heir to the throne, apart from one type of creature (yet to be decided) which is planning her assassination.
All the way through, the boy is by her side, helping her. A strong bond forms between them - possibly leading to romance.
Another thing that I forgot to mention was that the kingdom was originally going to be, kind of.. old-fashioned creatures, like fairies and elves etc. and the type of creature planning her assassination would be a modern one. We can change it if you don't like it though. :)
Name: Seraphim, or Seth for short
Age: 18
Appearance: longish chestnut brown hair that is slightly curly and purple eyes. Although he looks normal, his nose is long and pointy, kind of like a beak. You can only see his brilliant purple wings and bird feet if you belong to the kingdom, therefore helping him to blend in with humans.
Personality: His personality changes, and even he doesn't know how he will react at times. He can be dark and mysterious, or bright and open, or a strange mix of both.
Bio: He was born and raise in a little town outside of the kingdom. Because his species is not a 'classical' mythology creature, they were pushed to the outskirts, therefore having limited contact with the king, and the kingdom itself. Because of this fact, most of his species despises the king and wishes someone else was in charge. But his mother and father were both loyal to the king, and raised him as such. He was about two years old when the princess was born, and about three when she was kidnapped. He always felt sad for the princess, knowing she would be raids not knowing her true identity, so he took a job at the castle and quickly raised through the ranks, soon becoming one of the kings most trusted official. Due to this fact, many of his species treat him as an outcast.
Name: Aurora (or Rory) Chambers, though raised with the surname 'Smith' Outsid the kingdom.
Age: 17
Appearance: Shoulder length, heavily layered, copper/ginger hair, emerald eyes, defined facial features, tall (though shorter that Seraphim), slim.
Personality: Emotionally weak, but this grows stronger over time, kind, very loyal, sometimes sarcastic, quite blunt, patient.
Bio: Princess of the kingdom. She was kidnapped when she was one, and raised outside of the kingdom. No-one knows why, but nobody was as brave as to save her.
:D I thought we could start it as Rory wandering through the forest in a daze, the first chapter, and the second as Seth finding and watching her, then the next couple as she snaps out of it. Okay?
@Shally16 Cool! I'm meant to be doing homework at the moment, but it shouldn't take too long - I'll try to post it today, but do you have any ideas for a title? I'm really bad at them :P
The Lost Princess? No, that sounds stupid...
Lost in the Forest? No...
Lol, I'm not good with titles either, as you can see...
What about just naming it the name of the kingdom?
Or just Forest Fantasy.
