Chapter 1

"Father I'm never going to learn how to be a master swords man; if I don't have a teacher."

"Jack you will not come to me demanding that I find you a teacher. You are 10 years old just like your sister. Go out and find someone in the clan to train you."

" But father my siblings did not have to go out, and find someone to train them... Is it because I'm not a mage?" Just as he said that last part his mother walks in to see what is going on. Fallowing behind her is his twin sister Luna.

"What is going on?" she looks between her husband and her second son.

"The boy wants me to find him a teacher, and I told him NO!" he says loud that jack flinches. Jack's emotions flicker. Luna picks up on the quick changes of his emotion; and quickly runs to try and comfort him.

'Because we are twins we have a link that I hope we will never lose. It became clear to use when we were 4 years old; she could always pick up on my emotions just like I can do with hers.

"Come on brother lets go get some air" she says as she guides me out the room. As the door slowly closes behind us we hear our parents yelling. We make it out side "Luna I'm going to take this walk on my own… okay." Before she could even answer I take off in a sprint running to the only place that can calm me. The one place that will forever be my sister and I's secret waterfall area. As I'm running the background starts to change its no longer the village it all woods.

Before we keep going you are probably wondering what am I, and why am I in this mess. Let me start by saying that my name is Jack; I am the son of the keeper of Clan Lavellan. I was born into a family of mages, and as you can guess I am not a mage. The rest of my siblings are; My older brother who is first to the keeper, my twin sister luna, then there is the baby of the family alice. Would you like to know a secret; I have only healing magic no element like the rest of my siblings.

I look up at the night sky "it's starting to get late; I think I might have missed dinner. I could just runaway now I'm close to the end of the clan line." I look back to where the village is "But I need food and stuff if I am to survive out there. Maybe I'll look for work in the morning." As I finish saying that out loud I hear a wolf howl in the distance. "I look around and remember that wolves hunt in packs." I hear it howl again and this time it sounds closer. I take off in a sprint and run back home.

I walk into the house and close the door gently behind me. I lean on it closing my eyes trying to catch my breath. "Were where you? mother was worried about you." I snap my eyes open and look down to see alice looking up at me a little worried.

I pat her head "Don't worry about it Alice; I'm home now okay." She nods and hugs my leg. "You can go tell mother I'm home and going to bed." I say as I walk to my room. I make it to my room and close the door behind me I lay on my bed and start to get lost in thought '3 years I'm running away from this place, but I have no training what so ever.. Only with a bow, and that can only carry you for some time. So that means I must find work as a-' *Knock, Knock* The knock snaps me out of my train of thought. I sit up and ask "Who is it?"

"Who do you think it is wolf." Luna says in a playful yet serious manner.

"Come in moon." the door creeks open and luna walks in closing the door behind her. I Look at her then at the hand holding a bowl of fruit.

"Here you missed out on dinner so I thought I'd bring you some fruit." She says handing me the bowl. "Thanks, moon. What happened after I left?" I ask as I pick up an apple and take a bite out of it.

She walks over to the window and looks at the night sky. "Well I think mother is going to want a word with in the morning. It would be wise if you stay clear of father for a little." She turns around and looks me in the eyes. "If you don't mind me asking what was that about anyway?" she ask me as she makes her way to my bed and sites on the opposite side of me. I then look down at the bowl and begin to tell her what happened earlier.

***********************Flashback to midday************************************

I knock on father's office door "Father may I have a word with you?" I ask him as I walk in.

"Not right now jack. I have a meeting in 5 minutes." he say without looking up from his paper.

I feel a ping of hurt but hide it as I say "It's only a question. And I didn't get a chance to ask you when you got home last night. You know, because you went to help out luna and alice with their magic." I say with a little force trying to get his attention.

He looks up from his paper. "What boy, what is it that you want?" he says with a little anger in his voice.

I take a breath and ask him "Can you help me get a trainer to train me in the ways of a sword?"

He just stars at me for little before he answers "You want me to get you a trainer?"

I nod my head slowly "Yes father. I go hunting with the others sometimes so I'm okay in archery. I would like to learn how to weld a sword." I look down at the ground once I see the look of anger flash through his eyes.

"Hmmmm you wish to learn a how to weld a sword; THEN GO OUT THEIR A FIND ONE THAT IS WILLING TO TRAIN YOU. you are no longer my son, but you are part of this clan." Once he said that I felt my world crumble from under me. I wanted to run but my mind said fight back.

**********************Flashback End*******************************************

"Wolf I can't believe he said that to you." she quickly pulls me into a hug knowing that I'm close to breaking.

I pull away and look down at the empty bowl. "It was a matter of time before he said it." I get up with the bowl and place it on my desk. I then look out the window.

"What do you mean a matter of time?" she walks up next to me. I look at her from the corner of my eye and see a tear roll down her face because she can see the hurt in mine.

I kiss her forehead and smile at her "I think you should be going to bed moon you have training in the morning." I tell her as I make my way to the bed, and she makes her way to my room door.

She has her hand on the door knob and takes a deep breath "Do me a favor brother don't do anything stupid. Just have the talk with mother, and see what she has to say."

"I make no such promise." I mumble as she leaves my room closing the door behind her.
