Prologue: Beginning

Drip...Drip...

"Drip?"

Opening her eyes, the girl examined her surroundings. She was floating in the middle of what seemed to be an endless sea of black water. Seeing something fall pass her face, she glanced up to find water dripping down from a ceiling above her.

"Where am I?"

Looking into the water she saw a reflection, presuming it to be her own. She saw a girl around the age of 17 to 19, with golden eyes. Her hair, the colour of pure snow, floated around her body, reaching down to her thighs. She was wearing a simple white dress with a gold threaded belt as the only accessory. She looked away from her reflection, and looked around some more. She felt dazed; nothing was coming to mind of why she was there. Finally, she asked herself a whispered question, "Who am I?"

Suddenly a vibration could be felt in the air, accompanied by a loud rumbling. She looked around in confusion, as the vibration got worse. A vague memory leapt into her mind; of darkness and...of fear. She screamed, overwhelmed, "No! Someone help!"

A blinding light appeared suddenly, pulling the girl away from the collapsing chamber. All she could do was close her eyes to the blinding light emitting from the figure. The vibration was no more, but the girl was too scared to open her eyes. Afraid of what she would see.

"You can open your eyes. It's okay you're safe now." said a gentle voice from beside her.

The girl blinked her eyes open. And gasped at what she was seeing. She was no longer in the dark chamber, but outside in a majestic ruin. Though it was in ruins the building that had to have been a castle, was beautiful intertwined with the forest. She was surprised to see many animals everywhere, there were all assortments of them, lying around, playing, sleeping, and doing anything.

"It's beautiful," she gasps, amazement on her face.

"I felt the same when I first saw it, too." states the voice from the chamber. The girl looked around bewildered; she was not able to locate the source of the voice.

"Where are you?" the girl asked, twisting her head this way and that to try and find the source of the voice.

"I am here, but not here," the voice replied, seeming to originate from everywhere, "at the moment I cannot appear before you, since I am still getting accommodated to this form."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing of importance, at the moment," the voice brushed off the question, "what is important is that we get you to a safe place before they find you."

"They? Who are they?"

"They are what destroyed the chamber you were in. They are called Mori."

The girl shivered as she remembered the destruction of the chamber, and the awful, terrifying memory she had felt. The girl gasped suddenly as she felt something touch her hand. She looked down to see a small creature, resembling a chipmunk with twin tails of a squirrel, rubbing itself against her hand. She giggled as the little creature climbed her clothes to sit on the top of her head to take a nap.

"I guess that one likes you." laughed the voice, "You may take it when you leave this place."

"What? I have to leave?" asked the girl frightened of the idea of having to leave this beautiful and safe place.

"I am afraid you must," sadness could be heard in the voice; "this place will not be able to keep you safe for long. Already, I feel the Mori coming closer.

A long silence pass. It had almost seemed as though the voice had left; but the girl knew it was there, for some reason she could feel its presence clearly.

"Do you remember?" the voice asked, breaking the silence.

"Remember what?"

"Anything at all; before you were in the chamber."

"No, I don't."

"I see," the voice said, thinking, "that explains it."

"Explains what?"

"Why I do not feel your powers."

"Powers?" she asked astonished. All these questions raced through her mind as she thought to herself. She has powers? What kind?

How had she obtained them? Was it lying dormant in her, waiting to break free? "What power?"

"You have a power that is of great importance," the voice explains, "if the Mori were to get their hands on it, the world would be destroyed. This is why you need to be protected."

"But why-" she was cut off by a piercing wind that wiped through the ruins. She felt a piercing pain run through her whole body. Forced by the pain she crouched over, she couldn't breathe, she needed air, but it was like her throat was shut closed. All around her chaos was happening, animals were going hysterical, and the majestic ruins were crumbling; their beauty being eaten away.

The girl felt sudden warmth as she felt the searing pain in her body leave her. She opened her eyes to see that there were two golden wings surrounding her. The source of the wings was surprising coming from the little creature on her. She wondered at this, and was about to ask about it, when another wave came shooting into her head. "Kyaaa!" she screamed in pain, as it got worse. She felt like something was invading her mind. It felt like when she was back in the chamber. The fear was overwhelming, "No! Leave me alone!"

The pain seized immediately. The girl was so surprised that she feel over; sighing in relief as everything went back to be peaceful. She looked down at the small creature, which had climbed off her head to look at her with big worried ember eyes. She smiled gently at it, whispering, "Thank you." She was still amazed at the thought of those huge golden wings coming from such a small creature; the wings now gone.

"Are you all right?" asked the weary voice of her rescuer. She could tell it was weak since she could feel its presence was weak; she thought as she nodded her head as a reply. "Thank goodness."

"What happened?"

"The protection around this place was attacked by the Mori."

"Are we safe now?"

"No," the voice said in a monotone voice, "we must hurry and move you from here. I shall summon a way out for you." With these words a tall straight portal appeared, and widened in front of the girl, showing scenery of large rubble of boulders, that had to have originated from a mountain. Curious, the girl placed her hand forward and touched the portal. It rippled from her hand, like water.

"It is not safe here anymore," the voice said as a vibration started in the air, "take that one with you and go."

"But what do I do when I'm there?" the girl asked quickly. She placed the small creature on her head once again, and was ready to step through the portal.

"Keep safe. Find the ones that will be able to help you on your path."

"But how-"

"Do not worry. You will know who they are when you meet them." the voice gently said into her ear, "Now go!"

The girl felt a force push her from behind, and was propelled through the portal. Her feet touched solid rock as she, and her small companion, emerges through the portal. She turned quickly to see the portal fading away slowly. She sees a golden figure in the last images of the portal, before it completely fades away. After it had completely disappeared, she inspected the area around her seeing the same scenery she had seen before.

"Now what?" she whispered to herself. The creature on her head heard her say this and climbed down to her shoulder, rubbing its face against the girl's cheek. She giggled at this and stroked the creature's golden fur affectionately.

"I guess all we have to do is move forward." The girl toke her first steps toward the beginning of her life.

Haine-of-Winter: Soooooo.....

This is my first fan fiction and I hope it is okay. I love criteria so if anyone has anything they want to say I should fix, I'll see what I can do. The prologue was really long. Sorry about that. Nothing has happened with Piers yet, but don't worry he is defiantly appearing in the next chapter. See ya in the next chapter. XD
