Hi, everybody! This is my first fanfic ever! I'm addicted to Harry Potter as well as Alanna, so after reading tons of fanfiction on Tara's website and www.fanfiction.net, the two greatest sites ever, I finally wrote one of my own. The first couple of chapters are really short, but as I get more reviews from you guys, I'll write more. Ok? My e-mail address is mitymoe1905@yahoo.com, so e-mail me all your reviews, ok? But please, no flames, because they're discouraging.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
"Sometin' the matter, dear?" George rolled over, his eyes concerned.
"No, everything's fine, go back to sleep," Alanna answered, to an already fast asleep George. She got out of bed and walked out into the hallway. Sneezing rapidly, she swore. She looked around, knowing already what the cause of her sudden sneezes were.
"Hello, my daughter, it has been so long since we've last met." Alanna spun around, her violet eyes meeting those of the tall and ethereal being, the Mother Goddess.
"Hello, Mother," she answered. "I thought you weren't going to visit me anymore," she asked, puzzled.
"Well, even goddesses make mistakes. All is not well with you, is it Alanna?"
"No, everything's fine, I'm the King's Champion, I've got a loving husband, and three wild children. What more could I want?"
"But I sense a certain tiredness in your life."
"Well, yes, I suppose. But I figured that was normal for people of my age. I find myself sometimes wondering what would have happened if I had made different decisions along the way."
"Such as turning down the prince when he wanted to bed you. A different love maybe?"
"Oh no, I love George."
"Well, you might've loved someone else too, if you had made different decisions along the way."
"Different decisions? Such as..."
"How about this, my daughter. I will take you back in time to when you were the Prince's squire. You are in the garden, and it is the night of your seventeenth birthday."
"Oh, that eventful night, wonderful."
There was a hint of laughter in the Goddess's voice as she spoke. "Well, let's make a different decision this time, shall we? This time, let's not go get our cloak from the bench, and continue walking around the gardens."
"Why do you want me to do this?"
"So you can realize what a good life you have now, and hopefully you won't be tired of it again. My only wish is for you to be happy."
"All right, I'm for it."
"Time won't change here while you're gone. It'll be one long night. When you feel like coming back, rub your ember stone. Oh, and you'll have your advisor back with you again."
"Faithful?" Alanna asked, hopefully.
"That's right. Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
Oooh, a cliffy! Sorry, but I had to go. I'll write more, but e-mail with reviews and ideas, pretty please!!
