The last thing she saw before turning back around was a towering dark creature noticing her escape and beginning to take chase. “Run Laurel! Run! Do not stop!” her mother, Queen Milna, screamed at her in desperation. The terrifying cries from behind caused her to look back at the horror that was unfolding. She nearly tripped on her skirts as they became tangled in the vegetation. The young woman’s frantic breathing became faster as she ran through the heavy long grassy field.
