Authors Note: Ok, this isn't the kind of story where there's maybe a page of set up and then whoosh! Off to Velgarth! I've taken a bit longer to set up the characters and whatnot, but I think it's worth the wait. Just bear with me and you won't be disappointed, I promise! Also, the chapters are pretty long, so even though there are only three up right now, it's still quite a bit of reading. Enjoy, and please review!
Prologue
She was All. Everything that was, everywhere that had a name or no – there was She. In the beginning, when there was the earth and the void, She came and flooded the earth, filled the void. And now She just was, and She watched over Her peoples, and helped them in time of need, and there was little that She could not do.
Then into Her void blew a wind, a current from the East. It swirled and eddied about Her, and tickled Her and would not be ignored. So She tasted the current, and found it vaguely familiar. She drank deeper of it, and the taste of it filled Her. And She remembered.
