Prologue

~I hear somethin' hanging on the wind~

I never suspected that fateful day to go down like it had.

I never even thought about the consequences of going down that ice tunnel.

I should have known that the place was some sort of ancient temple for the "Gods."

The magic was practically thrumming through my body, but I didn't even notice.

I regret not realizing what was going on around me simply for the fact that people died, even if they weren't the most pleasant of people.

I also don't regret it too.

The fact that my future is much better because of that day is something I'll NEVER regret.

I have a family all my own now.

People who love me, a strong and caring mate and seven, (yes seven), strong blooded warriors for children.

My family was all I needed and now I am content to leave this world in my very old age.

I have had a very long and prosperous life and I regret none of it.

I am going to tell you a story.

It's a story about a young woman and how she had adventure after adventure.

The adventures of life, love, and happiness.

~I see black smoke up around the bend~
