Prologue
"Exile!" the judge ruled, and the crowd howled with fury.
She internally winced, but her countenance did not waver as the guards led her from the courthouse past the catcalling and murderous crowds.
"Kill the bitch!"
"Spawn of the Devil!"
"Ought to have died a dog like her traitor father!"
She focused on breathing all the way to the ship docked, waiting for her with her few possessions. They'll never understand. Not anymore. A generation ago, but not now. The tyrants have already won. I'm only surprised they're not executing me.
The boarding went smoothly and soon, she stood at the bow of the vessel, watching the land disappear over the fading horizon with the dying behind her. With bowed head, she contemplated her future and her past. I'm sorry, Mom. You always said I was too much like Dad. She turned from the receding darkness and searched the western horizon and the isolated lands fabled to reside within it for some sign, some answer. What now?
Author's Note: Frozen belongs to its creators. I claim the OC I created for this story, and the chapters will get longer after this. I also came up with the plot of this fanfic.
