The Shade that was different

Chapter 1- Durza's Daughter

Not all shades are evil... All though I could be considered evil... I was created like other shades, I was born like it at least that what 'my father' Durza told me. I was one of the first female shades but I did have brother well technically he was my half brother but he is still family. I am Lyzenna and my (half) brother is Juddenniken. He was not a shade but were both lived in Urû'baen, Alagaësia. We were both under tutorage of Durza who taught us dark and powerful magic of destruction and death. Soon it would my 'coming of age' in which I would swear oaths to Galbatorix to be humble servant until the Varden were destroyed. I didn't want to though, I wanted to join the Varden but I knew they would accept me as they would believe I was in Galbatorix's service.

I was woken up early, like day of every week. How long does intense brutal tutoring go on for. For hell's sake does he shithead of king think I am powerful enough. I know many death words. I teaching went on from morning to evening to night, no breaks, no rests just constant teaching. How long does this goon for I though? Then during the first short break of the year I overheard Galbatorix talking to Durza about bring my and my brothers swearing of the oaths forward to the end of this month. I knew I had to run away, with Juddenniken, in the middle of the night. I told him my plan

"We should run away, join the Varden" I whispered to him

"I agree but it will hard to escape Urû'baen without anyone noticing and as soon as they do find out they will send ever single soldier in the Empire to look for us" he replied. I knew he was right but we had at least try.

"We should do it tonight" I told him

"Good idea" he replied.


When night feel we grabbed some basic supplies and jumped out of the tower in which we being held in and we ran to never look or go back ever again we passed through night using all the secret passages we knew of to escape unnoticed.

After 1 hour of crawling through dark tunnels we were outside Urû'baen. Our destination the Varden we just needed to find out were they were hiding which could take years. We needed to find someone who knew and would tells but where do we find someone and how if we did find someone, how the hell would we get them to tell us...

This was going to be harder than I thought, much harder...
