A/N: This is a retelling of George MacDonald's classic, "The History of Photogen and Nycteris," centering around Golden Sun's Isaac and Mia. I am trying my best not to just plug different names in; I'm also trying to actually retell the story in my own words. That doesn't mean that I won't borrow from the original; it just means that I'm trying to actually be creative. Anyway, I'll talk more later, because you're probably bored and waiting.
I: Menardi
There
was once a witch named Menardi. She wanted to know everything there was
to know. But the more a witch knows, the harder she knocks her head
against the wall when it comes down to it.
She was descended from
the people of Garoh, and she had a wolf inside of her. She cared for
nothing in itself-only for knowing it. She wasn't naturally cruel, but
the wolf inside her had made her cruel.
She was quite a beautiful
witch. She was tall and graceful, with very light-blue skin, long
fiery-red hair, and eyes as black as night that had a red fire burning
in them.
She was straight and very strong, but once in awhile she
would double over and fall on the floor. She would lie there shuddering
for a minute, almost as if the wolf had gotten out of her mind and onto
her back.
A/N: Yep, that's the first chapter, and yeah, it's short. Don't blame me! Talk to MacDonald!
Anyway,
I'm sure that there are those who are going to accuse me of sacrilege
and those who are going to say this sounds like plagiarism. Let me
address this: I'm not writing this for Golden Sun's sake. I'm writing
this because the original is such a classic. And as I said before, I'm
not just plugging in different names; I'm actually retelling it.
Anyway,
if you like it, please review and let me know! I'm always looking for
feedback and I think I'm going to start responding to questions again.
Thanks for reading!
