AN: So this is a test idea...if enough people like it, I'll continue it. This is just a prolouge to the story, I won't say much, but this explains enough. Well...Read&Review. If enough people like it, I'll continue it.
A white cloaked figure walked down the forest road in silence, in his arms two small sleeping girls, one about four, the other no older than two. The two girls were wrapped in blankets and the cloaked figure walked with a purpose. There was a shout from behind her and she quickened her pace. She had to get away...had to hide the children where no one would find them.
She quickly ducked into the forest, retreating back into the darkness. But her white cloak was too obvious, too readily seen. She looks around and kneels down, resting the girls on the ground, cradled by the roots of a large tree and hidden from view. Carefully the woman woke the older child.
The blonde haired girl's eyes slowly fluttered open and she looked up to find who woke her. Before she could speak though the woman put her finger on the child's lips. "Shh, listen to me," she said softly, yet sternly. "Stay here, take care of your sister, understand?"
The blonde girl paused, taking a moment to register her mother's words before nodding and putting her arms around the smaller girl in the red bundle. The woman nodded and smiled kindly. She leaned down and gently kissed the child's forehead. "Remember, mama loves you, Yang."
"...and Ruby too, right?" she asked with a childish innocence. She doesn't understand what's happening.
The woman smiled and nodded. "Yes, and Ruby too. Now stay here and be quiet."
Yang nodded, smiling a little, flashing a mouth full of sharp pointed teeth. Her mother chuckled a little and patted her head. Then she stood and ran off, trying to draw the people away from her daughters, leaving them alone in the dark forest.
Yang held her sister close, protectively as the shouts grew quiet, til there was only silence...which was only broken by the sound of a child beginning to cry for her mother.
Cinder Fall, a hermit that lived at the edge of the woods by the mountains was the exact opposite of what people think of her. They call her a witch, tell their children to stay out of the forest, avoid the, what they assume to be an ugly old woman, like they had heard of other hermits. They are wrong.
Cinder was a beautiful young woman, though she was a witch, she just wanted to be left alone. Though a sound has pierced the usual silence of her forest, a sound she wasn't used to. The sound of a crying child. The young black haired woman quickly located the sound.
Beneath a large tree, curled up in the roots, two girls, one asleep, the other weeping. Cinder usually wouldn't mess with such things, but something drew her attention. The weeping girl had what appeared to be little horns just above her ears, similar to a lizard...or a dragon. She kneeled down and muttered a soft spell, making the girl weak and tired, or it was supposed to. When the witch moved forward to grab her newest...prize, the girl shoved her away and held the other girl.
Cinder was surprised by the girl's strength, even if she knows the spell is running through her. This only made the witch want the girl more. She had to convince her to come along.
"Come with me, little one," she said in a silky voice.
Yang looked up and shook her head weakly. "No...mama said stay...take care of Ruby."
Cinder looked down at the smaller child and smiled. There is was, the way in. "Your mama has sent me to come and take care of you and Ruby."
Yang, her mind dulled by fear and exhaustion, simply nodded and reached out for the embrace of someone warm and gentle. Cinder smiled kindly and gently picked up the two sisters. She finally noticed the two wolf like ears on the smaller girl. Two halflings...perfect… Cinder thought to herself as she carried the two girls deeper into the woods, to make them hers.
No one realized the dragon girl now asleep in the witch's arms has a great power, the power to change. She is the little sun dragon whose flame will burn through history and change everything, though, with a little help from a young wolf, a cold bunny, and a shady cat.
AN: Well that's it. Hope its interesting. I know its a little short, but reminder: its only a prologue. If enough people say they want more, I'll continue it.
