CHAPTER ONE
Marion looked down at the new infant in her arms. She was healthy, perfect and at the moment, fast asleep. Marion smiled as she heard Robin entered the room and sat next to her on the bed.
"A daughter." Marion whispered, smiling at her husband.
"Does she have a name?" Robin inquired, gently taking his daughter from Marion.
"Fiona Rose Longstride." Marion answered, kissing the top of her daughter's head.
Eleven years later, Fiona's brother, Peter Robin Longstride, joined the family.
Peter and Fiona were exact opposites –
Fiona was fierce as her fiery red hair. She also had her quiet side – she loved to study language.
Peter, however, was sweet, gentle, quiet and shy – a quality found in most girls.
Fiona got pleasure out of riding her pony, Zeus, along side her father.
Peter stayed near his mother, working along side her in the fields.
Fiona, at age twelve, learned how to swordfight and ride properly.
Peter still clung to his mother's side.
As Marion and Robin noticed these changes, they also noticed that their children were growing up right before their eyes.
