Chapter One- Sorrow and Prayers
The Kingdom of Tortall was in celebration. The Queen had given birth to a healthy baby boy. The King and Queen's first born son. They named him James.
For a year the Royal couple loved and treasured their son and heir. But on the night of his first birthday the young prince vanished from his nursery in a flash of orange light.
The kingdom was devastated. The King ordered all the known lands to be searched. But young Prince James was never found.
A year after the Prince's disappearance the Queen gave birth to a second son. They named him Jonathan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A world away there was a flash of orange light in some woods near a huge and ancient manor. At the time of the flash the lady of the manor was out walking. She saw the flash and went to investigate. She withdrew her wand and approached.
When she neared she heard a baby crying. When she saw the baby she lit out a gasp. She saw a beautiful baby boy. She bent down and picked him up. He had the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen and his head was capped with wild jet black hair. H was dressed and wrapped in expensive cloth and clutched in his hand was a medallion with a coat of arms on it. The lady hugged the baby and whisked him away to the manor.
" Herald! Herald!", called the lady as she walked into the manor. The lady heard a soft pop next to her.
" What's is it Mistress?", squeaked a small voice by her side.
" Oh Minnie. Can you fetch Herald for me?", asked the lady.
" Of course Mistress!", said Minnie as she looked at the squirming bundle in her mistresses' arms. With another soft pop Minnie went to fetch her master.
When the lady was alone she examined the baby more closely. The clothes he was wrapped in was scarlet in color, trimmed in gold. 'Gryffindor colors' she thought proudly, she herself being a former Gryffindor. She then examined the medallion the baby held. It looked new and she didn't recognize the coat of arms. She took the medallion from the baby's hand and turned it over. It had a name engraved on the back, it read James of Conte'.
" So your name is James huh little one.", said the lady. While she was examining the baby she didn't hear her husband's approach until he spoke her name.
" What's going on Ella?", asked Herald.
The lady , now known as Ella, turned to face her husband. When he saw what she was holding he let out a gasp.
" Ella. Where did that baby come from?", he asked.
" I found him Herald. He appeared in a flash of orange light. I believe he was sent to us to answer our prayers.", Ella told Herald as she gazed fondly at baby James.
The young couple have been trying to have a baby for a couple of years it was until recently that they discovered they were unable to have children. And adopting a magical child was vary difficult, even for people of their status. So of course to Ella baby James was an answer to her prayers.
Herald looked into James' blue eyes and smiled. He always wanted a son.
That night the young couple preformed an ancient blood ritual tying James to their magic and bloodline. That night James Herald Potter was born.
