The Chosen One

It was strange, Nakita mused, to be a ‘chosen one.’ Two years ago, she had been the disgraced princess of Kaphrus, who was reviled for her adventurous nature. Now however, it seemed that the fate of the Multi Universe had been shifted from their ruler’s shoulders to her own.

Nakita growled, fists clenching on the window sill. The evil demon’s, Kumraa, mind has been restored after being defeated and locked away in the Shadow Realm centuries ago. Now all of the universes were in grave danger. The burden of saving everyone had fallen to Nakita. She recalled the Cosmic Heart’s words to her the day it was discovered she could read the ancient scripture that Kumraa could also read.

“There will be a decision you have to make in the near future. If you make the right decision, both curses will be lifted and you and your family shall not perish. But if you make the wrong decision, everyone you hold dear will perish. The Cosmic Empire will crumble, and the multi universe will spin out of control into eternal chaos.”
So, no pressure then.

All she wanted was fun adventures, discovering new areas, living with the animals, being free. It is all because she started finding these hidden scrolls that her true meaning in life has been revealed.  Sighing, she sat down heavily on her bed, head in her hands. She was the Chosen One, she was the one who’d lift the curses and fight evil, she was the one who’d save everyone.

And she never wanted it.
