Prologue. A Fallen Angel

The night sky was filled with grey clouds that lingered from the finished day and masked the Earth from the beauty of the stars. Every so often the darkness of space would peak from behind clouds. Many of the residents of the bright city of Townsville rested in their beds, but the lights of the skyscrapers did not shut off for the night owls. The echoes of cars driving through the silent streets and planes flying overhead could be heard from the western hills bordering the city.

The hills were covered with healthy grass that rested in the darkness, and there wasn't another city other than Townsville for many miles west. The night was peaceful: crickets chirping, wind breezy, and coyote howling to find its moon, but it was interrupted when grey clouds began to swirl over the hills. The thick wind began to rush in the air and the animals resting in the trees and burrows immediately lifted their heads from their slumber and watched the sky. They didn't wait for the wind to get stronger, and their instincts told them to scurry from their homes and scatter away from the hills. Birds cawed into the night sky, and squirrels and rabbits ran through the grass and down the slopes.

The wind whistled and the clouds thickened, but all fell eerily silent a moment later yet the eeriness was not uncomfortable. The silence did not last for the thick grey clouds brightened up with a silent, white flash that blinded the sky. The clouds dispersed in the middle of the thickness revealing the source of light with a blinding aura. The aura shot down a beautiful beam of white light that blew away the trees and grass where it landed, all the while being silent as if it did not want to waken anything else.

Another white flash blinded the hills, and as fast as it had appeared, the light was gone as the clouds reformed in their grayness. But it left something behind. The beautiful bright figure lay face down on the ground as its body shone. The brightness emanating from its body faded, but it left its light with the figure's bright skin and white hair that rested in perfect tangles and waves over its head.

She was nude, but her beautiful hair covered her flawless body. She awoke and took in a deep breath as she waited a moment before she moved. She found the strength to push herself from the ground and slowly stand with her trembling legs. She used her immortal arms to brush her hair from her face and let it rest on her smooth back that had two white scars on her shoulder blades. She looked like a mature young girl, but her expression was lost like that of a child.

With the feeling of the grass beneath her bare feet, the girl looked around at nature and saw the city behind the hills in the distant. She let out her deep breath and filled the area with her light air. Confusion loomed in every part of her mind and body for she did not know where she was or who she was. The details of her life were gone from her knowledge, but she knew of the light she brought down from the heavens.

Her fate was unsure, but fate writes itself if the author doesn't begin.
