Disclaimer-I Do Not own any of this. But soon...

Warning-Dark Will, Major character death, and Countless minor character deaths.

He was just a kid. Just five years old. He had been climbing a tree for a reason he didn't know. Just being free was enough. As he sat an eagle swooped down and picked a bird as it was sitting at a high branch. Will shivered as he watched the eagle fly away with it. He had no idea, but soon he would wish to be in that birds shoes.

He watched as a girl waved to him from a window. Will had smiled, and waved back. She had blond hair, and even as a five year old she was tall. She had grey eyes that he loved to look into. Suddenly she moved out of his sight. He shrugged and looked down. He saw a man waving up at him.

"Come down boy! I have something for you!" It didn't sound like anyone he knew, but it was probably the barons staff. Who else would be allowed onto castle grounds? Even if anything bad happened the guards would save him, and why would anyone want a five year old Ward brat? Will climbed back down like a spider, and said hello to the man.

The man grabbed Will by the scruff of the neck, as he came down. Will cried and struggled to no avail. The man cuffed him upside the head. He stifled his cries. The guards would save him once they saw a man running off with him. Suddenly a cloth was pressed against his face. His last memory of the time at Redmont was that sickly sweet smell.

Review please, This is my first fan fiction. I'll update quickly.
