I´m not C. Feehan so I do not own the Carpathian Series.

London 1998

Hi my name is Atropos (nickname Aisa) I am 15 years old and I´m from Germany. At the moment I´m in London, because my teacher had the idea to come to London for 3 days this is maybe the best idea she ever had. Today we can go out in little groups to see the city, I can´t wait to see all the old buildings. I´m a total history freak, but I think it has something to do with my little gift. I can see the history of an object when I touch it, sometimes I can also feel what the owner felt at some point. That´s enough about me for now, I have a lot of history to discover...

4 hours later I´was with my two best friends Tina and Chris on a little flea market. ´´Hey Aisa`` Chris said `` why are we here, we could be at the dungeons´´. ´´ You can go if you want, but I stay here´´ I don´t know why but I think here is something waiting for me. After Chris and Tina have gone without saying goodbye, I see a booth with unique jewellery. It is as if one necklace with a charm is calling to me, I can´t go without it I have to buy it. The necklace looks really old, it is gold and on the front the charm looks like it has an family crest with an ruby in the centre. The woman who sells it shows me an inscription, in a foreign language on the back and then handed me the necklace in a velvet bag.

Once I´m alone in my hotel room I take the necklace out of it´s little velvet bag and see what I has to show me. How could i have known that this changes my whole life forever.

AN: I know It is a short chapter, the first ones will be short, the later chapters will become larger.
