Chapter 1
I woke up to an unusually sunny day, with clear sky and the thought that crossed my mind was that it was going to be a lovely day- oh how wrong I was. My name is calwyn and I was a priestess of antaris up until a few years ago when a stranger crossed the great wall of ice and became injured. His name was darrow and we soon became friends, we talked almost every day and he started getting better, until the reason for his injury showed up and demanded that we take him to darrow, so I took darrow and we hid from his enemy- samis. Eventually the destruction became too much for darrow to watch so he wanted to hand himself in to save the lives of everyone else, but I had other ideas, and we both escaped from the great wall of antaris and ran away from samis. darrow and myself travellers across tremaris and we met many friends along the way. We then sailed to the lost city of spareth and we found samis and defeated him- or so we thought.
One year later, we went to Merithuros – excluding darrow who was off on his own journey across the seas, although we picked up a new person- heben, who was the reason we were journeying to the desert wastelands in the first place. Once we got there we rescued a few chanter children but we found out that the rest were being hidden away in the black palace. As we were on our way to the black palace darrow met us halfway and we journeyed the rest together. Halasaa became sick from his nightmares and once darrow was proclaimed lord of the black palace I lost my powers- meaning that I could no longer sing any chantment or I could no longer use the dance of becoming.
Soon after I left for antaris with mica and trout, but instead of the loving welcome I was hoping for I found many dead and many sick with an illness called snow sickness or chanters plague. Darrow came to antaris with tonno and Halasaa and he was infected with the snow sickness. I got my powers returned to me and I became the singer of all songs, I came back to antaris and stopped fighting between the tree people and the daughters of taris. I managed to cure the snow sickness and I sent samis away again.
That morning after I woke up I got ready for the day- dressing in a blue long dress with long sleeves and a necklace that darrow brought for me when we were travelling tremaris. I walked down the many flights of stairs from my bedroom to my daughter micas' classroom to see my brother Halasaa. As I walked into the classroom my brother and daughter greeted me with smiles and a small little wave as they continued with the class. I walked to the window and looked on in horror when I saw what was coming our way, something I had been dreading since I became the singer of all songs- it was samis.
