1. Chapter 1

There seemed to be nothing, save for a few shadows. The white space surrounded the young girl in the middle. It blinded her. She reached out in front of her, shadows spreading from her outstretched fingers. She then made the motion of closing a book. Immediately, the white space collapsed and she found herself in the ruins of a house. She didn't need to look around to know she was on the outskirts of Ylisse. The young girl looked in front of her and saw a tome, right where she had reached to close it. She stood up and stretched; practicing magic took a huge toll, and she had limited time each day. The girl picked up the tome and put it in a bag, leaving the home. She knew she had to talk to someone, finally.

Eleven years ago, her family lived in the same house she's practiced in. Being there made it easier for her to focus. She didn't blame her parents for leaving her at such a young age, in fact she thought kindly of it. I feel it were another place, another time, maybe she would have never been born. She had found a dusty tome untouched from the fire that burnt down her father's house. She looked towards the east, towards the Halidom, and thought of a solution to her problem: If she could use Naga's ritual, she may be able to see her father and mother again. "I am Lina Shade, and I can do this."
