)*(The Beginning)*(
Chapter 1
Fog surrounded the whole entire island. You couldn't see two feet in front of you. If you didn't live on this island your whole entire life, you would get lost in a heartbeat. The island was covered with a forest and there was only one true path and the others would lead you into a dead end. The island was completely silent. Except for one sound. That sound was from a human. The human was humming in a middle of a clearing.
This human was a girl of five-years-old, with pail blonde hair that was cut at shoulders length. She wore a blue dress that only stopped five centimeters from the ground. The girl was having fun tossing a dark blue ball. The ball went up by her small delicate hands and disappeared quickly in the fog and quickly reappeared. She caught the ball easily and smiling she thought of what trick she did a few minutes before.
* flashback to a few minutes before *
The same little girl was in a cold room and she was not alone. A tall handsome man was with her. He was about twelve-years-older then the little girl. The man looked around the room. The room had only a desk, a bed, and a wooden box that could open up and reveal all of the little girls clothes. He then concentrated on the little girl again.
"Now, Sarah, you must concentrate and think of the place you want to go, then the rest will be easy for you." Said the man.
"I'm trying Luc, I'm trying." Said the little girl, known as Sarah, as she looked up at the man.
The man was wearing a black, brown, and green coat and the rest was what a rich traveler would wear. But Sarah's observation was cut short by a knock at the front door of the tower. Sarah jumped a little because this was the first time somebody knocked at the door since she came here. Luc stopped looking at Sarah again and now looking at the door. Luc stood up straight and said.
"So this is it. Sarah keep practicing and wait for my return."
Not waiting for a reply, Luc walked out of the room. Sarah waited until his footsteps were faint and then ran toward her wooden trunk. She opened it up and dug her hands in and pushed all of her clothes aside and sitting there was a dark blue ball. Sarah grabbed the ball and ran for the door. She reached the door and silently opened the door and peaked out. No one was there. She opened the door fully and stepped out. She looked around. Then something made her jump. Luc was talking to someone at the door. She didn't like eavesdropping, but nobody said she couldn't. So Sarah stood there for a while listening.
"Albert Silverberg is here to greet you and to talk to you about business." Said a cold and evil voice that gave Sarah cold shivers down her back.
"I will meet with him here in ten-minutes. Make him not late, for I don't liked to be kept waiting for someone."
Sarah didn't want to hear that cold voice again, so she tiptoed out of the magicians tower and ran into the forest.
* End of flashback *
Sarah tossed the ball up again and then heard a snap of a twig and lost her concentration. The ball hit her foot and rolled away.
"Wait! Come back ball." Asked Sarah in a childish voice.
She ran after the ball. It was very difficult because of the fog and her mind still lingering on the twig snapping. Horrible things went into her head when she thought of what made that sound, not who. Demons, monsters, Evil guys trying to take her away from Luc, she ran until she heard something that made her stop dead in her tracks. A voice was talking. This voice was sly and sounded as if he could easily lie. She listened harder and heard what he was saying.
"Damn it! Why does he just say 'meet me here in ten-minutes' when I don't even know this place and worse this damn fog is everywhere?"
"I don't know why. What's this? A ball in the middle of nowhere, why would a apprentice to a person of a rune bearer need this?" Said the same chilling voice in the house.
Sarah, curious, ignored the chill in her back and walked forward. She stopped when she could feel they were close, she bent down and listened to what they were saying.
"Here take this ball and I will leave you here with your thoughts. Since I won't be late and miss all of the chaos and blood." Said the chilling voice.
"Wait! Yuber!" Said the sly voice.
Then the fog cleared a little and there stood a man of about nineteen-years and he wore a white trench coat, which looked good against his dark red hair. Nobody was with him. He had a sword in his hand and obviously was trying to cut threw the forest. In his other hand he held a dark ball, the same ball Sarah was tossing a few moments before.
Sarah got out of her bent position and looked straightly in the eye at the older man.
"What are doing with my ball? Why can't you find the path? Wait, that means that you want to hurt somebody at the tower, doesn't it?" Said Sarah.
"You know the way? Take me to the tower and I will give you your ball back." The man said.
"Fine, follow me, but tell me your name." Said Sarah curiously.
The man immediately stood up straight and put his sword under his coat into its scabbard.
"My name Albert Silverberg. My I ask what your name is?" Asked Albert.
"Sarah. Come." Said Sarah as she ran away into the fog.
Albert followed and in moments they reached the tower. Sarah ran into the tower and into her room, not looking back to see if Albert had followed her out of the fog. She closed the door silently and looked at her room. She was not alone. A woman was standing in the middle of the room with a cloak on that went over her head.
"Leknaat! What are you doing in here?" Asked Sarah petrified because if Luc knew about this she would be in trouble.
"Don't worry little one I didn't tell Luc about your little outing. I didn't stop you because Albert needed to come here." Said Leknaat.
"Now go tell you are sorry for going out." Said Leknaat.
"I'm-." Leknaat cut off Sarah.
"Not to me but to Luc." Was what Leknaat said.
Sarah nodded and went out of the room feeling horrible.
* To Luc *
Luc was sitting at a table looking at the man on the other side of the table. Albert starred back at him. Luc glanced at the other man, the man called Yuber. Yuber wore all black except for a strip of white on his coat. He wore a black hat that covered his eyes. He had blonde hair that was braided down his back. Luc didn't particularly like him, but he was the only person that would do the job that Luc made in his head. The plan would need a lot of bloodshed and trickery. But the plan was worth it. To be free was worth it.
Something caught Luc's eye. Albert was trying to hide it but Luc recognized it immediately. It was a ball, blue as an ocean.
"Where did you get that ball?" Asked Luc.
Albert then looked uncomfortable for a second and was about to speak when Yuber spoke.
"So where is your mage? I thought we would all meet to discuss your plan."
Now it was Luc who looked uncomfortable. He hadn't said anything to Sarah about his plan. And didn't want to until she was older and when she totally forgot about her past.
"She is-." A person hugging his leg cut off Luc.
"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, Luc really I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, this wacky man stopped me and he pulled out his sword at me and he tried to kill me, and if I didn't give him my ball I would die." Said Sarah crying.
Luc looked at Sarah and then at Albert, who was trying to give the ball to Yuber. Yuber took the ball, pulled out his sword and stabbed the ball, when the ball was totally deflated he tossed it to Sarah. Sarah looked at it and cried harder. Luc took the deflated mass and threw it out the window. Quickly he said.
"Don't worry Sarah, when there is another war I'll get you another one. And Yuber will pay for it. Isn't that right Yuber?"
"I'm not paying for a ball and giving it to a little girl like that." Said Yuber pointing at Sarah.
"Only Leknaat and Luc can call me a little girl. You have to call me lady." Replied Sarah.
Albert by now was getting a headache, so he yelled through his pain.
"Stop it, I need to see that mage if I'm supposed to conjure up a plan. I need to know its abilities and weaknesses."
Luc looked at Sarah then back at the two men.
"She is right here, gentleman." Said Luc.
The three men looked at Sarah. Sarah just hugged Lucs leg tighter and wished that Leknaat was here to tell her this was all supposed to be, that this was her future and to sooth her. But she wasn't.
* End of chapter one *
Sarah is a little out of character in this chapter, but there is a reason behind it. Please tell me what you think and if you think I should continue with this fic. Bye!
