Prologue

Tawny Harper was around 12. She was named "Tawny" because of her hair which was brownish yellow in color. She had brown eyes and freckles all over her face. She didn't smile much and was, therefore, not befriended by the other children in the orphanage where she grew. Her parents died when she was two with a fatal sickness and a concerned person dropped her off in St. Victoria's Orphanage for Little Angels. Tawny spent her time alone playing with rocks and wooden sticks which she pretended to be swords. The others would make fun of her because she was strange.

The only thing that she has from her parents is a bracelet made of silver that is owned by her mother. She treasured it very much. Tawny didn't allow anything to happen to her bracelet. It would ruin her if she lost or broke it because it's the only thing that reminds her of the family she used to have.

Tawny was running from the other children. They were chasing her. She was only silently skipping rocks on the lake behind the orphanage when they came. She was used to it. They aggravate her for fun. So she ran and ran while the children scurry behind her calling her names. At last, they were out of sight. Tawny is a very fast runner. But just in case they were able to catch up to her, she slid between the big boulders of rocks present. But then, she found a small opening between the largest two rocks. She peeped inside just to discover that it was bright there. That's strange, Tawny thought. But pretty.

Because of the child's unsatisfied curiosity, she slipped inside. The light there was a different kind of light. Little rays of sunshine penetrated from the small holes and gaps between the boulders, and Tawny knew that the cave's light didn't come from the sun. She forgot the kids that were chasing her. Her discovery of a secret place excited her so much. She felt a breeze whip her face and was curious, because surely, the gaps above weren't large enough to let a rather prominent draft come in. She walked down the rocks. It didn't surprise her to see that it was spacious inside. She walked further on. The place's ambiance seems to "electrify" her veins. It gave her such a powerful and strong feeling. Tawny, at some time, reached the end of the underground cave and found an opening that must lead to outside. But she didn't want to leave. She felt like she needed to go some place and the portal to it was within this cave; she just knew not where to find it. She fumbled with her bracelet as she walked on towards the light. It was so bright, that she can't open her eyes. And then she fell…
