So this is the beginning of my first chapter fic in a long time. Me, write a chapter fic? I'd never thought it would happen!
Disclaimer: I don't own Tangled, that honor belongs to Disney.
Prologue
A chilling breeze caught the falling autumn leaves and twirled them about in the air, performing a graceful juggling act for the lone young woman wandering about the forest clad in a dark cloak and a curve hugging dress the exact color of the scarlet leaves swirling around her. In truth, this woman was not young at all, but that was a secret she'd take to her grave. These were her favorite days, the cool fog rousing her from the doldrums and making her feel alive. Not many things could produce that feeling anymore, for after baring witness to the slow demise of her loved ones, Lady Gothel found herself pondering over the true worth of living.
These mornings are worth it. I will endure the overbearing springs, blistering summers and bone chilling winters for a stroll through the autumn mist. Gothel concluded as said fog caressed her body, evoking a small shiver from the smiling woman. She continued to walk through the forest, intending to enter the bustling walls of Corona. Ever since the death of her beloved sister, Gothel preferred to live in a cottage hidden behind a wall of ivy, only emerging when she needed to go to market or to rejuvenate herself through her magical flower. This trip was intended for both, but Gothel would soon discover that it would only take one visit to unravel the fates' design from the seams.
There's the prologue, but will you continue dear reader? By the way, this WILL contain femslash. HOWEVER, it is not the couple I have written for in my other fics (Gothel/Punzel) so stick around to see who the mystery woman is! (It won't be some annoying OC btw.)
