Prolog

Prolog

Tomi watched hidden behind the door of there mountain cottage when they came. Fighting back was useless and so there was no struggle. She watched as her mother was killed in cold blood and her father taken away, all because he chose to stand against the tyrant that was the leader of the village hidden in the clouds.

Wasting no time and spilling no tears, she fled from her home, escaping only because the village didn't know she existed. She traveled for days, grateful that her father had taught her how to survive in the wild, but as she gained distance from the place that had once been her home, she grew weaker and weaker. Though she knew what plants she could eat in the area surrounding the hidden cloud village, once she was beyond those borders the plants and even the shape of the land changed greatly and she was afraid to eat anything without knowing what it was.

As time passed she grew weaker and thinner then any healthy person should ever be, and one night when she laid down on the cold ground she didn't wake back up. If it hadn't been for the figure that was watching her from the trees she surly would have died that night.

A/N : The chapters will be longer no worries : ) btw I don't own any of the characters in this story but Tomi and this disclaimer goes for every other chapter as well.
