Ana's Knighthood
** Okay, I wrote this after music class, so I had musical names in my head. I think they sound funky anyway.**
PROLOGUE
Nadia Maestro was a young mother, only 35, of 5 children: Melody, Harmony, Decrescendo, Crescendo and little Anacrusis.
Melody is the eldest; she had long brown hair with soft waves passed her shoulders. She was almost 17, and had the most beautiful voice ever.
Harmony is 16, with deep brown eyes and long, very dark, brown hair. It is almost perfectly straight, with a little wave. She has a remarkable talent for playing the piano. When her fingers move across the keys, its like an angel passes over you.
The twins, Crescendo and Decrescendo, are nearly 15. Crescendo, has long hair, a lighter shade of brown than the others, Decrescendo has the same hair as his sister, but he cut his short (duh, is you were a guy, would you keep your hair very long??) and had it cropped by his ears. They both had the bluest eyes. When they played the flute together, it sounds like many blue birds, all singing the same tune in different keys.
When all four of them play/sing together, it is the most beautiful thing you've ever heard. They each have the same passion for music as their mother did.
Little Anacrusis is 14, and has no passion for anything musical. She often dreamed about knighthood, and adventuring. She dreamed of meeting the famous Lioness, and the brave Keladry, who was following in her hero's footsteps. She also looked very different from her siblings. Her hair was so blonde it was almost white, and her eyes were brown, like the others, but had green flecks here and there in them. Her father had blue eyes, and her mother had brown ones, so no one knew where the green came from.
Neighbors think that her mother had cheated on her father, but she swears it's untrue. She says that little Ana is just blessed with fascinating eyes.
Ana took after her father much more than any of the others. Her father was a knight of the realm, and died serving his King in a very bloody battle when Ana was only 7. She longed to follow in her father's footsteps, but her mother wouldn't let her, she wants Ana to be a musician like everyone else. So Ana put her dreams aside, and learned to sing well and play the piano. Her mother taught her all the proper lady things, for traveling to other cities and realms, and she traveled a lot since her father's death. Ana never really knew 'home'.
**Tell me, should I continue? It's gonna have Kel and Alanna in it later . . . . It's gonna be set in Corus anyway. It's just a prologue, so if you
