Prologue

It was raining.

The sky was black and the clouds were heavy, filled with smoke and embers which had stormed into the heavens as the city below burned. People were running and screaming. Mothers held their children, trying desperately to comfort them while the soldiers frantically tried to extinguish the burning flames. The buildings were alive with the gasping stench of burning flesh that had risen from those few people that were too stupid to save themselves from the licking flames. The citizens scrambled, trying to save what little items they could.

That should show them, I thought as I watched from the city wall, my black eyes glinting in the little sun that purged through the ashy air. The stone bricks were cold under my bare feet, the rain, normally a bother, seemed to wash away the blood from my hands, metaphorically speaking of course, as it smattered onto the concrete loudly.

I harboured no ill-will towards the people of SilverWind; the city which I had set alight. My hatred was directed only to that of its King and Queen, Lord and Lady Bloodfeather.

A single tear blurred my vision, and as I closed my eyes, it lingered on my lashes before falling, sliding down the curves of my face and into the corner of my mouth; my tongue lazily licked it away. It tasted like metal, different from that of a normal tear which is normally salty and filled with sorrow. Instead it was blood, filled with anger. The screams disappeared amidst the sound of the crashing rain that smothered my skin, layering me in the skies sorrow.

My heart broke.

Rage filled me, my body turning numb and hollow.

I fled; turning my back on the city which had once brought my salvation and sanctuary. I leapt from the wall onto the matted hay stack below, behind the cracking city wall. I ran over to the horse that awaited my return by the old oak tree and mounted his brown leather saddle. I pulled the reigns up, his muscled body rearing up onto his back legs; I glanced over my shoulder to get a final look at the world that once I knew. Then we charged into the thick forest, the rain the only sound I heard as we disappeared into the darkness.
