Author's note: Alright then! I have been thinking of this story for weeks, and now I think I have enough to get started! I hope this will meet up to people`s expectations.

This story does feature one OC. Not proud of it, but she kind of was needed. Her name is Melody. So besides her, I don`t own any of these characters.

"Many wrote of Luke's legendary exploits, but the accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone-he loved his wife above all else..."

A young woman walked over to the crib in the corner. She looked over to see her little son resting peacefully inside and smiled. She then quickly frowned and sighed knowing he was unaware of just who exactly he was. "So innocent...To think that he is the chosen vessel for Grima...It's unbelievable."

The lady walked over to the mirror in her room and sighed. She finger-brushed through her long dark hair, and then she straightened her dark coat that was decorated with the cult symbols of the Grimleal. She hated it, but she had to wear it. Her pale face had purple markings on it. The woman had tried to wash them off many times, but they would stay there, forever reminding her of what she had done. She had joined the Grimleal.

"What did I do to get here?" she thought sadly. "To think that I loved Validar at one point. My cold-hearted husband... But now our son could be the fell dragon himself...I can't let that happen! He has done nothing to have deserved that. If only something could be done..."

All the sudden, a man walked into her room. The lady gasped and turned around, but then forced herself to relax. It was only her husband. He was a sorcerer, and he wore dark robes that also had the cult symbols on it. The ends of it dragged along the cold stone floor. He was one of the top people in the Grimleal. His status especially was even greater now, for he was the father to the child who Grima would finally awaken within.

He walked up to the woman and smiled. "Good morning Melody."`

"And to you Validar..." Melody replied coldly.

Validar shook his head. "And here I thought you would be pleased. Life is great for us. And in a few years time, Grima will awaken through our son. He carries Grima's blood. He is perfection itself!"

Melody forced herself to smile. "Luke is definitely a perfect child..."

"I know it's a long wait until Luke can handle it, but I am looking forward to that day all the same!"

Melody managed to look Validar in the eye. "But will happen to us afterwards? Grima is the very definition of destruction! What will happen to Luke himself?"

Validar nodded. "We will likely be killed, but I am willing to accept that! As for Luke, he will most likely be put in a state of stasis. He won't even know what is happening around him."

"In other words, he would be dead to us." Melody said flatly.

Validar laughed, making Melody cringe. "Don't worry about it, my dear!" He then walked out of the room to conduct some rituals.

At the sound of the door closing, Luke woke up and cried. Melody walked over to him. "It's alright Luke. He's gone." When Luke didn't calm done. Melody picked him up. She rocked the flailing bundle and hummed a familiar tune. It was a common lullaby song for children. Luke always seemed to calm down after. He then opened his brown eyes and stared at Melody.

"He truly is a perfect child..." she thought, gently fluffing his dark hair. "If Grima awakens within him, Luke will be practically gone to us. I don't want that to happen! I should escape from this, and Luke will come with me..."

Luke cooed and gave her what looked like a smile.

I'll admit it. This was a shorter chapter then I had planned. The next ones will most likely be longer. I hope you guys like the story so far, and I hope you stay tuned until the next chapter. Total Nerd Girl out!
