(A/n: hello everyone! I was listening to "Hallelujah" (shrek) and this idea donned on me. Yes, the story is sort of sad and emotional. This is just the intro. The rest of it will be written sort of , like, your watching all of it from a distance. It should be pretty good I hope!)

Sir Raoul of Goldenlake and Malories Peak paced his study, stopping to cover his face with his large hands and rub his temples. As he resumed his patrol of the room, Alanna admitted herself. She was pale and shaky.

"You feel it, too?" he asked her in a hoarse voice.

"This isn't right, " she whispered. Raoul frowned. He had never heard that tone of voice in her; not when she was talking, not when it was raised in a battle cry, not even when Thom, Faithful, and Liam were killed. "Something…it's just wrong. The air is heady and thick, like the Gods are about."

Raoul nodded soberly and sank into a chair. "Something is coming…a disaster."

Alanna gulped. "I felt this way on Jon's--"

Jon and Thayet walked in, hand in hand.

"Jon--"

"My magic's gone," the King said bluntly.

Alanna gaped at him. He, too, was pale. She raised her hand and pointed at an unlit candle. She started to shake with effort. Nothing happened.

"Dampening spells," she said.

"I'd better get Gary, Numair, and Daine," Thayet said suddenly. She soon returned with the rest of the council in tow. Beads of sweat ran down Numairs cheeks. Daine glanced worriedly at him often. Gary tugged at his mustache nervously.

"Daine, you better tell them," Numair coaxed.

Daine nodded and took a breath. "I know this feeling…all too well."

The others nodded and mumbled agreement.

"No," Daine insisted. "Not the way you are thinking. This isn't the…normal… feeling of foreboding. I felt this way in the Realms of the God's, and at Port Leggan. What you're feeling is her presence. Uosae is about to wreak havoc."

Raoul rose abruptly, face taut with shock and horror. "I thought she was contained by the Gods."

Daine shook her head. "I've been flying in Goshawk shape. I see them. Tusaines, Scanrans, Centaurs, Hurroks, even Stormwings. And Uosae is among them. She is free, and she is going to attack."

"It will be the fight of…all time," Jon said quietly.
