Author's Note: Hey everyone it's me again! So this was going to be a one shot until I started writing it and now it's become a full-fledged novel (in my head, of course, it's not all written yet!!!) for goodness sakes! Anyway, so, ya, read and tell me if you enjoy!!! I LOVE all reviews, even flames, because I'm just strange like that. But if you could please tell me something that you don't like about it when you review so I can improve?? Thanks a MILLION!!!!!!!!!!
Prologue
She always had loved the idea of strength.
There was no good reason for it. Nothing threatening ever happened to her, no life-or-death situations, no kingdoms to save or monsters to kill. Her love of strength was never a necessity, and never would be. Nor was it an attempt to impress or gain statute in the eyes of others.
Like her, it simply was.
She fed her need fiercely. Countless hours were spent running, lifting, swimming, biking, even dancing, in an attempt to gain strength. Any spare time after all of this was spent reading, or watching, about adventures and the strong women who faced the challenge had taught her about the need for persistence, endurance, and determination, the three great trademarks of heroines. She derived the greatest pleasure from fantasy games and books, especially Terry Goodkind's Mord-Sith. Sure, their plight was horrible, but their strength and magic fascinated her past sympathy. Adie and Kahlan, Yuna and Lulu, they all became demi-goddesses in her eyes. Often, when she couldn't sleep, she only had to imagine herself as a toughened sorceress by their sides to calm her rampaging thoughts.
She knew that they were only dreams built on fictional plots with fictional people with fictional abilities in fictional situations. She knew that they were nothing more than a mental escape, that not as much as a word of it had ever existed and never would; she knew that the real world was not built on warriors and ancient forms of magic and mystics, or at least not in the way she dreamed about.
But that didn't stop the dreaming.
it didn't stop the longing.
So, what do you think???? I know it's just a prologue so far, but...surely you think something!!!! Tell me! Review!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?????
