Author's Note: Mistylenna in this story does not look anything like me. I just couldn't come up without a better name. The first part is written as seen by Misty, the main character.

My name is Mistylenna Serenity Kinley, but call me Misty because I feel that my name is too big for me. I was born near the village of Deercreek. My mother died at childbirth and left my father with his one and only child, me. A year after I was born, he married a widow, who had a son who was five years older then I was. We lived on a farm five miles south of Deercreek. The land around the farm was rich and the game was plentiful enough to feed us in the winter. Our family worships Yama, the goddess of war and winter, and Yamu, the god of peace and farming. The holy day of the gods, was Friday. I loved Fridays since we did not work on this day.
When I was four and my stepbrother, Rolin, was nine, we went to Deercreek to the market. What we did not know, was that raiders were attacking the town. When we came to the town, we saw only smoke. Then, out of the smoke, an arrow struck my father and he fell into the back of the wagon. Rolin was scared and he hid under the bench. My stepmother was terrified and held me close to her. Out of the smoke, some men rode up. One snatched me out of my stepmother's arms (later, I found out that they killed her). I was terrified and cried a lot when they kidnapped me. They took me and some other village children into the forest to their camp in a cave.
Near midnight, some noise woke me up. I saw two figures, which were dressed in white, and two horses. When the first person reached us, he began quietly to wake up the other children. Meanwhile, the other Herald, because they couldn't be anyone else, freed the raiders' horses and took most of the gold that was stolen. Then he came and helped us escape out of the forest. The villagers were overjoyed to see the Heralds and us. I never found out what happened to the raiders. I was happy that my father and Rolin were fine. Ever since the Heralds rescued me, I was in the village when other Heralds came through Deercreek, in hope to thank the Heralds for rescuing me.
