The screams of a frantic mother ravaging the streets of Haense in search of her daughter interrupted the lively song of Tuvmas carollers, heartbroken cries of anguish overshadowing that of festive joy. 

 

"Elizaveta, Elizaveta!" Cried Princess Henrietta of Haense, hair undone and hanging free from the veil which oft-covered it. She had been searching for hours, diligently pleading with the people of Haense to aid her in finding her youngest child. "Please, god, you must help me find my baby!" She continued to scream.

Kingdoms of Almaris,

 

Lady Elizaveta Ulyana Barbanov-Bihar, youngest child of Prince Marus Aleksandr, and his consort, Princess Henrietta Theresé, has gone missing. We plead with her captors to return her safely to her mother and father, and are willing to pay any amount of ransom they demand, if only they give them the assurance of their daughters continued safety. We wait with bated breath for any news, or notices regarding our daughter and her disappearance.

 

We also ask the citizens of the various kingdoms of Almaris to come forward with any information they may have. Whether it be a simple rumor, a sighting, or an unwavering suspicion someone you know might have abducted our child, we beg you to come forward and inform us of such. We will reward you depending on the legitimacy of the intel. 

 

Lady Elizaveta was last seen in the city of Karosgard after spending the evening with her aunt, the Queen Emma of Haense. She did not return home, and thus the search for the young girl began, spanning all throughout the night and into the early hours of the morning. Her prized possession, a lamb made for her by a family friend, was found hastily discarded in the entryway of the Karosgard docks and harbor. We do not believe she simply left on her own accord. 

 

Elizaveta is a young girl nearing the age of four, and was last wearing a traditional Ruskan sarafan in the colors red, black, and gold. She was born with a deformity that caused her to develop without her left eye, and thus only has the right. She doesn’t cover it, and so it is one of her defining features. Her hair is often twisted into two twin plaits, and her shoes are thick black leather that slip over her little feet.

 

We stress that if anyone may know what fate has befallen our daughter, to come forward, and they will be rewarded. We must know, even if that information is that whoever has taken her, has killed her.

Signed,

 

His Royal Highness, Prince Marus Aleksandr

Duke of Alban

 

Her Royal Highness, Princess Henrietta Theresé

Duchess-Consort of Alban

     Abraham frowned, rubbing his chin. "I saw a goblin at the Haense docks.. then later saw him trying to enter Oren quite rapidly with other goblins.. the docks easily lead towards Dobrov and Oren, perhaps this is worth looking into." The man-squire frowned, worried about the consequences if that was true.

Hieromonk Ernst signed the Hussariya after having led a Mass, gathering the faithful to pray for the lost child. "May the child be unharmed" he prayed idly "And may this ordeal lead to GOTT's glory... however it can"

With the first body found in Honeyhill declared not to be the missing child, the Sheriff of Honeyhill prays that the second corpse, found in the icebox, will follow in the same.

"Its been so long, since last they've seen their daughter..." said a commoner of no importance.

Nikolai Mikhail Kortrevich, once hearing of the news would begin to prepare his horse within the stables of Jerovitz. The boy had a lot to currently focus on, but to him, finding Lady Elizabeth now took the most priority. He cared much for the girl born of one eye, and as he left his home, he told himself that he would not come back until she was found by any searching party, or himself.

"Oh no, oh Godan - not good." Maxim the Haeseni Squire ponders aloud, running about to make sense of the Princess' disappearance. "The boss is going to have our heads for this."

“Hold.”

 

She heard - one of the very last things the young Barbanov would hear, looking up from the mere chicken that so easily distracted her. Her vision was not ideal, neither was her only view on perspective. Making it harder to see what was coming so fast.

 

From her eye, the pale blurriness heading toward her so fast fashioned into a giant steed - but by the time her eyes had adjusted, she was already in the air. Already in someone’s arms.

 

“Cyclops. Keep quiet.”

 

A command she refused to heed, kicking and screaming all the while – screams she hoped someone would hear. Just like that, the snow was gone. And she forgot something very dear.

 

After all the pain, now, when the girl woke up, all she heard was someone’s ramblings and mutterings. All she could do was hear.

 

She no longer had to worry about her failing eyesight.
