Aria quickly took the offer to get on the horse and hopped onto the black horse and held on tightly to Alexander's waist.  The horse took off as the flames started to close in on them, enveloping all the greenery in it's path.  The horse was galloping quickly and Aria shielded her eyes from the bright fire by burying her face in Xander's back.  She blushed a little while doing this but it seemed like it was okay for the moment.<br/><br/>They finally managed to leave the forest as it finally burnt the forest to ashes.  Aria let go of the prince as they escaped the fire and managed to come back to the crossroads that connected the two kingdoms.  She looked up at Alexander, absolutely stunned, "The forest....is gone.." she said, sounding incredibly depressed about what had happened.  "All those memories...gone...." She said quietly as she watched the flames die and only smoke and ash remain.<br/><br/>Every memory she had of first meeting her friend were all lost now that the forest was gone.  All she would have left were the wooden swords that they used to spar with.  They used to always play together and pretend to be knights.  Sometimes they would play knight and dragon.  Aria usually got to be the knight while Alexander was the dragon.  She got to slay the dragon and then give him a kiss on the cheek so he would turn back into a human knight like her and they would fight together.<br/><br/>"Thank you for saving my life.." she said with a small smile as she tried to regain her composure.  Suddenly she started to look over him as best she could from the angle she was sitting at, "you're not hurt are you?"  She asked, completely ignoring her own burn mark.  Her left wrist was red and was bleeding a bit.
