Disclaimer: Okay, so, nothing you recognise in this story belongs to me.

It was a beautiful morning in Redmont Fief, with a clear blue sky that had no clouds in it. I was the first awake, as usual. I sat down in the place I always went to when I woke up, on the uppermost branch in the huge oak tree that stood outside the ward in Redmont. I enjoyed the feel of the sun on my face for a few minutes, then climbed back down the tree to tend to my horse, Midnight.

Edit: I'm just going through this and getting rid of the A/N's (seriously, what was I thinking when I typed those?) and making it so that the chapters aren't just huge blocks of writing. Sorry, but I don't really have the inspiration to rewrite this thing.
