Prologue

Ālfheimr (The land of the Light Elves), 1100 A.D.

General Tyr sighed as the weight of his decisions heavy on his shoulders. For ten months the war between the sorcerers and the elves had been growing to a frightening crescendo. The sounds of death wailing through the capital city of Ālfheimrhastened his decision. The warring between the two races had to come to an end.

The only solution the general could see was to send his daughter and the remaining families through the portal to sometime in the future. The goddess Verdandi, who is the goddess of fate, gave him the very talisman that could perform this feat. Only after he sent the survivors away, could he seal away Ālfheimr and stop this bloody war.

Boom! Crash!

The sounds of the torrential rains were only deafening the sounds of the misery of the people. Turning to his first in command he nodded that it was time. Walking away he went to fetch his daughter Jennifer and her maid Annalisa.

"Father, are we going somewhere?" asked Jennifer. Knowing that this was the last time he would see his daughter again he hugged her close.

"Yes, my child. Follow me quickly".

Neither one of them noticed the guard watching their every movement. Grabbing her hand they ran to where the others were gathered. The portal was only five hundred feet away when they heard the sound of steel being unsheathed.

"Run!" he yelled out. Reaching out he took the talisman and put it around his daughter's neck.

"Run, never look back. Keep this necklace on, never take this off. Only your first born may ever touch it. Now go my child!"

She picked up her pace, running towards the portal. Never looking back, she felt the world shift and move beneath her feet as she was transported to another place in time. She felt inside her heart the moment her father's life had faded and her homeland was sealed away for all time.

Looking around Jennifer could only see her maid Annalisa. She also noticed how different the people around her looked. What was even stranger was that it seemed that no one seemed to notice her at all.

'Relax Child, they cannot see you. Until I have guided you through this time. My child you are in the future. Hold on to my Talisman and I will teach you the ways of this time' a seductive feminine voice said in Jennifer's ear.

"Who are you?"

'I am the Goddess Verdandi, and welcome to your fate' Verdandi said with a humorous tone as Jennifer felt the warmth of knowledge enter her mind. Magic engulfed her being and transformed her into what people looked like in this age.

"Verdandi?" she asked. The goddess was nowhere to be found. She began to search for her, but was not paying attention and ran into another person.

"I'm so sorry", she said with an apologetic tone. He smiled and Jennifer found him to be very attractive.

"That's okay, my name is Craig by the way" he said with a Cheshire grin.

Smiling she responded with, "My name is Jennifer and this is my Aunt Annalisa."
