Prologue
Shelby Saya Treaty was born to Will and Alyss Treaty, shortly after their second wedding anniversary. She was loved very strongly by her parents who both grew up without any. She had no siblings, something she was happy about. She was very independent, and enjoyed solitude. She looked a lot like her mother, with intelligent grey eyes, and blond hair. The only difference was her hair was slightly darker, almost brown, and the height, of course. It had been a running joke apparently since before Shelby was born, that her father, Will, was a lot shorter than her mother. Shelby was a little disappointed she didn't get quite as tall as her mother. She was taller than Will though, something she was quite proud of.
Will was a ranger of the Araluen country, and Alyss was a courier. Shelby was like her father in that she not only enjoyed following rules, but enforcing them. At the age of fifteen, Shelby was expected to choose what she Craft she wanted to pursue, but honestly, she had no idea what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing.
