The Last Heir of Isildur

INTRO She was used to the loneliness. She was used to the hate. She was used to the darkness. She was a princess who lived in a golden cage in a distant castle. There was no lock or chains, but she still had no chance of escape. Her days were sad and monotonous when, suddenly, everything changed: a king came to her rescue, letting her out into the world. He took her away from the castle, showing her his kingdom. But she soon came to understand that she had simply moved into a larger cage, whose bars were made of envy and resentment, pain and anger. This time, however, there was no way out, there was only the fight for survival. So the princess turned into an outstanding warrior. Even in a world of hate and suffering, however, the flame of love burns. It ignites where it is least expected and it cannot be extinguished.

INTRO Destiny is a skilled player, it is able to make possible even the impossible...but destiny does not play alone. When it seems that there is no more hope, when we believe that we no longer have the strength to go on, when we feel lost and, at the same time, imprisoned by our own life, then more than ever is the time to hope, the time to fight to find ourselves and break our chains. All Elizabeth wanted was an escape from an ordinary life, a world she couldn't fit into, a past that haunted her every night. She needed to find her place, find a home. And Narnia needed her.

The kiss grew more passionate as he felt her warm supple body pressing against his chest. He couldn't believe how soft she was. He was gentler this time, making love to her with a slow, languorous pace, pausing now and then to check the expression on her face. Kira was. transported. She no longer felt the fabric of the sheets underneath her. One moment, she was floating in the air, cuddled by cotton candy clouds. The next, she'd become one with a dinghy, bobbing up and down with the undulating waves. His scent enveloped her. He was on top of her, using his arms to support his weight and avoid crushing her.
