Hey guys. So this is my attempt at a multi-chapter GOT fanfic. I will try to update as much as possible but I can't make any promises as to how often I'll update. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Guardians of Time.
Prologue
The woman was slipping her coat on when she felt it. The hairs on her arms stood up. Something happened. Something changed. The world felt…off-balance, she noted. She opened her mouth to ask her flat mate if they felt it, if their hairs stood on end, if their heart stopped for a moment, when it happened again. Something happened. Something changed. This time the world felt balanced, empty but balanced.
She finished slipping her coat on and headed out the door, gripped her bag tightly. Something happened. Something changed. The moon's light which only moments prior shone like a beacon, full of hope and peacefulness, was now eerie, chilling, and uninviting. She shivered but continued on her way.
The streets were filled with people laughing, grinning, and living unbeknownst to the change in the world. The shift in the balance of nature- that was the only way she could describe the feeling that haunted her as she strolled down the block, constantly checking her back. Her copper eyes scrutinized every aspect of the passersby; their expressions, their body movements, their speed, anything that could indicate a possible danger. Something was wrong, she was certain of this and she feared what would happen next.
She soon made it to her destination; a small coffee-shop where she pulled out a folder full of kindergarten papers and the off-balance feeling was nothing as she focused on what her students wanted for Christmas and if they used 'please', 'thank you', and proper spelling. She didn't realize how much time had passed until a familiar voice spoke her name and she peered up at the person and the clock.
She gestured to the seat across from her as she smiled up at her friend. "What brings you here?"
"You felt it." He asked as he took the seat.
Her eyes widened. This wasn't a casual meeting as friends. This was a meeting as partners, as members of the same organization. This was serious. Something happened. Something changed. Something was wrong. She knew it.
"Yes." She sat up a little straighter as she asked the question with the answer that would ultimately change her life and so many more's. "What happened?"
"They died." Her heart stopped. "Lorian and Lathenia are dead."
It's short but I promise I'll have more soon. Please let me know what you think.
