This is my first venture into Wizardess Heart fanfiction, so have mercy. Besides MC, I do not own anything for Wizardess Heart.
Prologue
The night was cold. Lilia knew traveling by night was risky, but the risk had to be taken. The King's men watched her prison by day. No one wanted their precious protector to leave. Why should they do anything magical for themselves when they had her to do it for them?
It had started to kill her.
She had been cursed with the ability to master multiple rare gifts. Battle magic came to her with ease, as did healing She could make the world do her bidding with a few notes of her voice, and handle the visions that seemed to come when she sang. Her ability to tame magical creatures was especially coveted as there were precious few today.
Yes, she was a rare wizard.
One, who'd been enslaved before she'd hit puberty.
The King of Oatu had taken her as his secret ward, using her to win wars and protect his land. Oatu was considered rich in resources, the land fertile and strong. No one dared cross the King, but no one really knew why. They came back from his land, allies of the kingdom, wondering why they couldn't remember any treaties being signed.
At night, she was supposed to maintain a shield while she was sleeping. She needed to be far away when that shield disappeared. They would not notice at first, being so used to her obedience. They would sleep until morning.
Then… Well hopefully she'd be at her destination by then.
Gendonelune Royal Magic Academy.
The acceptance letter in her hand was her key to freedom. She didn't know how they had found out about her, but she was glad they had. They were offering her refuge and safety.
Lilia let a sigh escape when she finally made it to the boat that would take her to Gendonelune. She had to man it herself, but she was ready. This was a new beginning for her.
She was free.
There you go, the first chapter. Obviously this story is going to be different than the one in the game. It's going to go past the 13 days, and while most of those 13 days stick to canon more or less, I've changed things to suit my characters. I hope you like it.
