**this story is unedited** For as long as I can remember, we have been at war. My land, my people, constantly threatened by the only suitors capable of taking us down for good. One false step and we are ruined. Being the princess and heir to the throne comes with big responsibilities. Growing up I was told stories of a world at peace. A place where fire, earth, water, and air signs alike all coexisted in harmony. I used to daydream about such a place. Refusing to believe what I was being taught about what life would look like from now on. I always believed there was another way. It has long since become clear to me that there is no other way. We have been at war for a century. Someone must fight and win and I was born to lead my people to victory and do just that.
