Prologue:
My mother was sick and our father had passed away. I was the oldest which meant it was down to me to work and gather enough money for food and medicine for my mother and siblings, Esme and Jared. It was hard work sometimes. I had to make sure they were clean, if they had eaten and dressed. I was only 16 years old but I needed a better job than washing people's clothes. So I set out looking for a job in the castle. I had to walk through the woods to get there as my mother and father decided to live in an isolated area. I put my hood on and set out early in the morning.
I couldn't help but wonder how the country Estonia was doing. My father was the rightful King but we had to leave as an evil sorcerer called Lord Kasyanov had taken over. He was very powerful and that's saying something, my father was quite powerful but not enough to defeat the sorcerer. He was next in line, meaning he was my uncle, after me but he was greedy.
We fled the country like so many of our people and changed our identities. As my father was a good King our people were loyal to us and helped us escape. Esme was just a baby and Jared was only three so he doesn't know that were actually from royal heritage unfortunately not all of my family made it out. My twin sister Salina was lost in the escape but we later received word that the maids had hidden her and she was fine. We were hoping to be reunited with her but the Sorcerer had blocked people from getting in or out so my twin couldn't escape.
I was eleven at the time and I had nearly been captured, the sorcerer would have used me against my father, I had the scar from my shoulder to my elbow to prove it. I could still remember the smell of blood as the sorcerer took a knife and sliced it down arm as if it was butter. I freed myself by using fire as I had inherited the element.
I could control fire which was good because I could keep my family warm in the harsh winters. Narnia knew that Dragonfire had been taken over but they couldn't do anything about it because Lord Dashknow was more powerful so they could only sit back and watch the destruction and havoc he was causing. It pained me to hear the news about Dragonfire.
Another advantage about being in Narnia was that our family hadn't met the King's or Queen's so no one knew what we looked like. I had to change my name from Valissa Lea Dragonmir to Emma Darfur. So if anyone came looking for us they wouldn't know anything.
Only time would tell if me and my family would soon be found by the sorcerer…
A/N: This is my first fanfiction so I would appreciate any reviews so I can improve! Enjoy :)
