Author's Note: This is my first chance at writing fan fiction, and even worse, it's a slight crossover! It shouldn't be confusing. It's a crossover between Disney's Gargoyles (Azure is a gargoyle-like creature) and of coarse, Deltora. Except you don't have to know anything about gargoyles to be able to understand this tale. These events basically take place after Lief and Jasmine got married.

DISCLAIMER: If you recognize it, I don't own it. Although Azure is mine, if I owned something that was worth anything I wouldn't be typing this, now would I?

Chapter one: The wrong heir.

Everyone was gathered around the palace in the City of Del. Almost the whole city was there. Even the Topaz dragon waited near the garden. Although this day was to be a day of celebration, the kingdom was still grieved. King Lief had passed to the real of the dead just two nights ago. His death was peaceful in his wife's arms. Now that the king was dead, the Belt of Deltora needed to be passed on.

Jarred, son of Lief and Jasmine stood on the palace steps, reciting ancient – and some new – oaths to the kingdom. His mother lifted the Belt off a pillow one of the servant was carrying, up over her head and called out, " I give you the new ruler of Deltora…King Jarred!" she clasped the Belt around his waist.

She closed her eyes and waited for the blinding flash of light illuminating from the magical artifact. The crowd of Deltorians did the same. They all waited…and nothing happened. Jasmine heard words and mummers of doubt from the crowd.

"What is wrong with the Belt?"

"Does this mean Jarred is not the heir?"

"Who was first born? Jarred of Endon?"

"Jarred was defiantly first, Endon second. They are twins"

"What about Anna? She was the real first born!"

"Anna has been dead for years now, kidnapped, mutated, and mutated!"

Jasmine did not understand, what was wrong? She was sure Jarred was born before Endon, they were eight minutes apart. The crowd was starting to panic. Jasmine raised her arms, calling for attention. "Good citizens of Del; please remain calm! We will get this sorted out! There has to be an explanation for this mishap!"

"I have an explanation!" someone called out from the middle of the crowd. The voice was feminine, strong, and musical all at the same time. People turned around. They stared at the mysterious woman, who was wearing a long cloak, so long that it dragged on the ground. Her hood was pulled up, concealing her face. All that could be seen from the depths of the hood was the glittering amethyst eyes.

"Please tell us!" Jasmine said from the palace steps at where she stood. The crowd of people moved of way to allow the woman to pass. As she reached the stairs, she paused to adjust the cloak. The guards moved to search her, for Jasmine's protection.

"Please…I-I carry no weapons!" the woman said, stepping away from them. The guards looked up at Jasmine, unsure of what to do.

"Leave her be." Jasmine told them. They nodded and let the woman pass.

"Who are you?" Jasmine asked.

"I cannot - dare not!" she said with a sigh. "But I can tell you this; Jarred is not the heir…the first born is."

" But that is impossible!" Jasmine argued. "Anna was kidnapped by the Shadowlord's Ak-Baba just five years after she was born" Jasmine said softly.

"But do you know what happened after that?" the woman asked.

"She was murdered…" Jasmine replied, these questions were beginning to frighten her.

"How do you know? What if she wasn't killed?"

"What are you talking about? Who are you?" Jasmine cried.

The woman lifted her are, an arm that was dark purple skinned with a taloned hand, and pulled off the cloak that concealed her bat-like wings and tail. The people looked into the delicate face – a face with pointed ears, sharp fangs and amethyst eyes. The face the real heir, Azure…formally Anna.

Author's Note: Dun-dun-dun-dunnn! WOW…shocking:o (not, you probably knew the whole time) sorry for the evil cliffhanger. I know that was short, but if I get some feedback, I will continue. I have big things planned, evil things, orange things…review and tell me what you think!
