Third person POV 12 years prior to the prophecy.
(A/N: Before you hate, this is fan fiction so I can do what I want. So please don't for this.)
Two little kids ran around the woods playing tag. One was the younger, three year old sister, Piper McLean and the other was the older, five year old brother, Kade McLean. Kade was the odd one out in the family. Where Piper and her dad had black and brown hair and tan skin. He had white hair and icy blue eyes that had a snow flake design around the iris and pale skin. "Come and get me ade!" (A/N: she's three. she cant quite pronounce its.) An excited Piper giggled while she ran as fast as she could with her little three year old legs. She kept running and laughing as Kade chased after her with open arms trying to catch her. Their dad, the famous Tristan McLean, and their step-mother, Crystal McLean, sat on the deck holding hands while the sun beat down them and listening to their kids excited giggles and laughs.
Made ran after her laughing his head off as he scooped his little sister in his arms and shook her around a bit. Her kaleidoscope eyes sparkling with happiness and laughter. "I got you princess! What're you gonna do now? Uh? Uh? Uh?" He said poking her lightly in the stomach every time he said "uh". With each light poke to the stomach she wriggled and squirmed trying to get free from the tickling grip he had on her.
"Stop! T-That t-tickles ade!" She squealed as Kade relentlessly tickled her sides.
"Nev-" he was cut off by a deep guttural growl and a few snorts and snarls. He slowly placed Piper on the ground and stood protectively in front of her. They started to back up slowly with him keeping a vigilant watch in front of them as Piper knitted her hands into the back of his shirt and whimpered in fear.
"I'm scared ade." Piper whimpered from behind him. He kept looking forward but whispered.
"I know . Just keep moving. We'll get away from whoever or whatever they are." Consoling her ever so slightly. For the next few minutes they only moved about a foot. He never looked behind him and that was his mistake. As they kept moving. He didn't see the dragon like woman come up behind them until it ripped Piper away from his back with her hands still in his shirt. Pulling him backwards with such force that he flew back and landed on his side knocking the wind painfully from his lungs and arching his back. As Dots of color swam in from of his eyes and his vision blinked in and out he caught sight of Piper being dragged further into the woods clawing and screaming. He tried to get up but his five year old toddler legs gave out from under him and his head smacked a tree and his vision finally turned to black and he slipped into unconsciousness.
Third Person 30 minutes later
Kade began to open his eyes as his head lolled about. He had a pounding headache and he tried to reach up and massage his temples but he found he couldn't move. He began jerking his arms but all he earned was almost tearing out his arms and the jingling of chains. 'Wait. Chains?' He turned his head and fully opened his eyes. What greeted him was not a very welcoming sight. All around him and the clearing that he was in, there was a giant ring of fire burning everything in sight. And across the clearing from where he was tied down he saw something that he should never have happened to a kid his age. His parents where tied up and in the custody of freakish monster like things. They had his parents chained by the hands and hung from trees. They were badly injured and only his step-mother was awake. When she caught sight of him a few tears slipped out and onto the ground, this only caused Kade to struggle even more. Constantly yanking at the chains he didn't see the big brute thing with a bull head walk up behind his mother. Or the thing taking position with his giant axe in a golfing like position. He did hear his mother yell her last words to her step-son before the smashed through her back near her waist and ripped upwards until it broke her collar bone and rested in her throat.
"NOOOO!" He was now furiously tearing at the chains as they cut his wrists and he bled slightly. Tears cascaded down his ash and sweat covered face as they through his mothers limp body to the floor unceremoniously. He looked to his father to do something. The man he looked up to and the man he believed could do anything. But that was short lived as a lady with the body of a snake walked or slithered up behind his dad and unsheathed two dastardly looking hunting knives. He stopped struggling and watched with wide eyes and a horror stricken face as the monster moved behind his father and in one swift movement stabbed a knife through the top of his head and from the bottom. But it wasn't over the monster slowly pulled both knives in opposite directions slowly splitting his head in two with a sickening crumb and rip. Kade screamed and tore at the changes. He kept trying to rise and run to his dead parents side but how could a five year old even compare to metal chains. He was just to weak. Admitting defeat he hung his head as the monsters walked away, dragging his parents corpses with them. Long after they let his head still hung with his hair making a curtain around him. His Snow White hair now streaked with ash and leaves from the woods. The woods was where he lost his sister. Where she was dragged away. His head snapped up with realization. She was just dragged away. Not killed or eaten. At least not in front of him. There was a chance she was still alive. With that he started to struggle against the chains again. Thrashing about. They still wouldn't budge but he was too hell bent on getting out and finding his sister to care. And with his raging emotions he missed something. The chains were slowly being iced over. Ice slowly crept up the chains as he thrashed. And after a few minutes he gave one last pull and screamed out.
"PIPER!" The chains broke and he flew forward onto the ground his body was convulsing with the spent energy and his wrists were cut and bleeding from where the chains had cut into him. When he caught his breath he rolled over onto his back and stared up at the sky that was still orange with the fire. Fire. He bolted upright at the remembrance of the substance. But as soon as he realized it a chilling winter wind ghosted over the clearing and to his surprise he wasn't cold and he felt slightly energized. He turned around and surveyed his surroundings. The fire was now completely out to his surprise, his house and been burned and tore to the ground, his parents blood was still fresh and covering the grass in a sickening red pool. He turned his head back around but something stopped him. Approaching him was a tall elegant woman in a white dress. Her beauty was a regal beauty and he couldn't help but marvel at her. She was so graceful that she didn't walk any where, she glided. And looking at her he felt a certain warmth and familiarness that he never felt before. He didn't know how, or when, or even if he was right, but at the moment he knew that this beautiful woman walking towards him. Was his mother. His real mother. But it wasn't a warm a welcome. He was excited to meet her but all she did was hand him a few things. A deck of cards, two light blue chains with a curved white blade at the end, and a icy blue egg the size of his torso. She gave him a tender kiss on the forehead and hugged him before supplying only a few words.
"In time you will understand. But for now be safe my son. I love you and hope to meet you again in the future.' It started to snow and she began fading out of existence.' And take care of your pet. He is a ice Phoenix and one of the last two of his kind. Goodbye for now Kade. I love you." She gave him a watery smile and disappeared completely. When she was gone he looked at the gifts she had presented him with and started to put them away. The snow slowly giving him energy as he worked. He handy noticed it at first but she had given him a pack with a tent, food, water, some golden liquid, some square yellow food, golden coins and a white hoodie that had a very light blue heart with a snowflake in the middle and icicles hanging off of it in the center of the hoodie. Slipping the hoodie on and the slipping the egg into his pack he picked up the deck of cards and pulled out a card. It was a three but instead of a club or heart there was a snowflake and in the middle another, larger snowflake. Checking all the cards he noticed they all had the snowflakes but they still retained the numbers and royalty (jack, queen, king) like a regular deck of cards. As he slipped them pack into the car board cover he saw a glint and peers closer at the card. Along the outer edge there was a thin pale blue outline. He slid his finger along it and cut himself slightly. Sticking his finger into his mouth and sucking the blood off he then placed the card in the box and put it in his back pocket. Then picking up the chains he wound them up his arms so he could easily just relax and they fall away and the blades were pointing to the ground. Pulling up his hoodie and slipping on the pack he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked off into the woods with a fire of determination set in his icy eyes.
