Author's note: I just love Black Magician's Trilogy so I couldn't help myself. This is my first ever fanfic so be nice.
Unfortunately I do not own any of the characters mentioned in
the fan fiction. They belong to Trudi Canavan.
Chapter 1: A New Life
By Occulte
Summary: Spoilers involved You have been warned. Is a new life possible for
Sonea after all she's been through. A voice calls to her while she is reading. Who could it be?
In a new room at a corner of the guild, sat Sonea. The room wasn't hers and never would be. It was just a room provided by the Guild so that they could monitor her. Just in case she might get power hungry one day.
After Akkarin's death people would constantly come up to her and tell her how strong she was. And not just in terms of power but also emotionally. After all, how many people could say that they had lost their one and only love and still bother living. But what these people didn't know was that she was only human and that each day, her heart was dying, little by little. She remained strong only for the sake of her child, Akkarin's child.
Sonea sat at her desk, reading a book on Healing as she was going to take her final exam in a week's time. With Dorrien and Lady Vinara's help, she had been studying Healing while at the same time helping out those who lived in the slums.
"Sonea...Sonea..."echoed a voice. Sonea turned to look around expecting to find Dorrien playing a trick on her. But she couldn't sense anyone, not anyone of physical form anyway. "I must be going mad." thought Sonea to herself.
"Sonea...Sonea..." echoed the voice again.
"Who are you? Show yourself." Sonea said.
"I'm Akkarin..."
"Impossible! Whoever you are it isn't very nice to play tricks on me like that."
"Put on your ring."
Sonea reached out for the ring at the end of her desk Putting it on she could sense a presence. An unearthly presence.
"Now can you hear me?"
"Akkarin? Can it really be you?" cried Sonea while starting to cry.
"Yes it's me. I don't quite understand it either but it has something to do with the blood gems. Now can you please stop crying?"
Sniff Sniff
"That's better. Now lets get to the bottom of this. I say we start looking through the books on black magic."
"But those are locked up and only the higher magicians can look at them."
"Just tell them that you need to do some research on an aspect of black magic that you weren't very sure of."
"I still can't believe this but as you wish. Do you mind if I take Takan with me?"
"No, it's good that you take him. He will make your search much faster."
Saying this Akkarin's voice fades out.
"I still can't believe this. Maybe I'm just going mad but there can't be any harm in taking a look at the books."
Saying this Sonea slowly walks out of the room in search of Takan.
