Squire's Shadow

Prologue: Silva

Silva, you cannot escape me. I will unearth you despite where you be off…

"Get away from me!"

Do not fear, dear child. I will always bear you, for you can never run from me. I will be your master.

"Somebody help me!" she screamed. "I'm being kidnapped!"

I am here to help you, precious one. For you are the only Gift alive who can hear me… I will help you.

"I don't want your help!" Silva screamed into the darkness. "You do not need me! Find somebody else! Leave me the hell alone!" She tried to run, but it was as if she had run into an imaginary wall of glass. She tried again, this time in the opposite direction, but two feet proved to be too much, for the wall had stopped her egression. "Why are you doing this to me?" she screamed again.

I heed a warning, young gift. Stay clear of the Squire who will dim your mind. Your gift is precious, dear one, but the Squire will try to steal it. He is a greedy man. Get rid of his company quickly, young Gift! For he holds the Sword of Deception! He'll find you. You must get rid of the Squire…

Silva slid down the glass wall in defeat. It was happening again. She was being summoned by a source she could not, and never would understand. Last time she had killed… and she was to do it again.

"Please, don't make me," Silva begged piteously. "Not again. Please."

It is your destiny, young Gift. The squire must be stopped…

Silva took a deep, valiant breath. She had to do it. She would stop the Squire…

"Where is this - squire?" She spoke distinctly into the shadows. "And what has he done?" Last time she did not inquire before she slaughtered. She would not be so foolish this time…

The Squire is after the second Gift; Your follower. He will kill the young Potter. Save the second Gift or all is lost…

Silva nodded, determinedly. "Where is he?"

He will be bestowed upon you at a school of wizardry… You will find him and rid the world of his evil.

Silva closed her eyes. The years of hiding had ended. The hunt of evil had continued… And she would obey, for that is who she was… Silva Shadow, the eradicator of malevolence.

Squire will kill…

That is why Squire must die…

The dream had ended, and Silva's mind was made up.

She was going to slaughter the doer of evil…

A/N: short, I know. But this is just the Prelude! Next chapter will prove to be much longer, and her hunt for the Squire at Hogwarts will continue… and saving the life of the Gift Potter will prove to be a much harder task then she had expected…
