Hey, this is my first Fan Fic! I am writing another story (which is not written or published anywhere except in my head and my notebook), but this story invaded my head. It, keeps invading my head, so I decided to write my story, and to write this as a fanfic to keep it from controlling my thoughts all the time. It might take a while to update, though, because I wrote a lot of it, but then read it over and discovered that most of my characters were Mary-sues. So now I have to re-write it and figure out how to give my characters their awesome qualities without making them a bunch of marry-sues, which can be depressing sometimes. I hope you like this chapter though!

Chapter 1
'Julia, put the book down and come over here!" my coach yelled.
"Fine!" I yelled back. I slammed the book, the Forging of the Sword, shut and ran to join my teammates before the game.
One pep talk later, I grabbed my mitt and ran onto the softball field, ready for our first game of the day against the Black Dragons. I stepped onto the mound, wound up, and then threw the ball to my catcher, but my mind was not on the game. Rather, it was still in my book where the Hrum were preparing to invade Farsala's major city. I am an avid reader, and read about 5-7 300+ page books per week.
"comin' down!" My catcher yelled, and I threw another pitch, and then ducked as the catcher threw the ball over my head to 2nd base. The second baseman threw the ball back to me as my team chanted
"3 UP, 3 DOWN, NOBODY GETS AROUND!." I stepped onto the mound as the batter got into her stance and the umpire yelled" Play Ball!" I waited for the catcher to give me the signal for a fastball, and adjusted my grip on the ball. Then, I wound up and released the ball as the world went into slow motion. The ball slowly sped toward the catcher as the batter swung. The ball collided with the bat and the ball came rushing toward me. I desperately tried to put my mitt up, but failed. The softball, soft in name only, slammed into my forehead and dropped to the ground. Everything went black and the last thing I remembered were my knees buckling as I fell to the ground.
I awoke who-knows-how-much-later in what appeared to be a forest with a older teenager about 16 or 17, a year or two older than me, sitting on a tree stump near me, turned toward what seemed large and blue, among the trees.
The teenager's voice said" that's all I can do for her Saphira. I wish there was some way to find out who she was though."
After saying this, the teenager turned around and I realized he was not actually quite human. He had pointed ears, smooth, flawless skin, and no facial hair, or signs of it, even though he was about 16 or was even stranger though, was the way he dressed. The person had on a blue tunic, with white leggings underneath. He had a bow and quiver slung over his right shoulder and a sword hanging from his left side. The belt holding the sword was black and studded with about a dozen gems and the sheath holding the sword was dark blue and engraved with weird writing. From what I could see of the sword, the hilt was a lighter colored blue metal with an intricate design on it and it had a large sapphire embedded in the pommel.
The boy glanced at me and seeing I was awake, walked quickly toward me smiling and saying, "AH, she awakes!"
I tried to quickly sit up, but immediately felt dizzy and lay back down. I tried sitting up more slowly and this time I could without feeling dizzy. The boy asked, "How is your head."
Remembering what had happened, I gingerly put my hand to my forehead, but it was fine. Completely confused, I looked at the boy and asked, " Who are you, where am I, and why is my head okay!?!"
So what did you think? I know it's short. I decided to make the first chapter a cliff hanger because I am too lazy to keep re-writing more. Please review!
