Prologue
She stood upon the cliff, looking over the barren land
below. She felt the warmth of her fiery wings on her back,
glad to have its warmth on this now cold and dead planet.
It had once been so full of life, the brightest planet
among the star colonies. She looked on the valley below to
see dragon skeletons and ashes of what had once been
villages. The palace far off in the distance was crumbling
in decay. The planet had grown so cold it was hard to
believe that this place was once her home and so full
of life. A single tear rolled down her cheek. As
Princess of this land, the last of her people, she
swore she would never rest until she avenged her people.
Suddenly an alarm sounded off in the background. Groaning
she reached over and threw the clock out the window and
laid back down, staring up at the ceiling. The dreams were
haunting her again. She must take action soon or it would
drive her mad. If only she understood them! They seemed
like memories, coming out of the fog rather then dreams.
How silly though, wings of fire. Quickly she took a shower,
got dressed and went outside. She smiled, taking in the
clean summer air. She checked the mail and came back inside
to find her aunt awake and making breakfast. Her aunt
smiled as she saw Elena. Elena had the family auburn hair,
and also dark, nearly black, eyes that there was no account
of on either side of the girl's family. She sighed; Elena
had only been eight when her parents drowned in the
horrific storm at sea. To this day everyone is mystified at
how the girl survived it, there was no possible way she
could have. The girl still has no memory of it at all.
Sitting down at the table Elena began leafing through the
mail. Finally she came across the letter she had been
waiting for. Furiously she tore it open.
"Aunt Aidewen! They have granted my request to become
an exchange student! They are sending me to Tokyo, Japan!"
"For how long?"
"The entire school year. I leave in one week."
"So soon." Her aunt smiled, knowing Elena had wanted
to do this for a long time.
"Be sure to pack your alarm clock, you don't want to
be late for school. I know how you are in the mornings
about waking up." Elena flinched at the words alarm clock
and Aidewen froze. "Don't tell me you threw it out the
window again?" Elena didn't answer, just sank lower into
her seat. "Will go out and get it." She smiled as her niece
went outside, how she would miss these moments when she was
in Japan. What would she do for the entire time Elena was
gone?
Elena went out and looked through the rose bushes. Her
bedroom was on the second floor, but amazingly the alarm
clock lay among the roses, still ringing and undamaged.
She laughed as she took it out and turned it off. This was
the third time in the last month that she had thrown it and
it had yet to brake. It seemed as if the clock had wings.
"Elena!" cried a voice running toward her. She
turned around and smiled at her childhood friend Katherine.
"Guess what! I'm going to Japan for school this
year! I was accepted in the exchange program!" exclaimed Elena.
"Really?" asked Katherine excitedly. "How fun! I
got my acceptance letter also; I get to go to England! To
bad we didn't get the same country!"
"Yeah. Though, for some odd reason I feel drawn to
Tokyo, I feel like I need to go there." Katherine frowned.
"Are you still having those dreams?"
"Yes, I still can't figure them out. It all seems
so familiar!"
"Maybe you'll find the answers there in Tokyo."
"I hope so."
Suddenly Katherine looked at the alarm clock in Elena's
hand and laughed. "Throw it out the window again?" Elena
also laughed suddenly remembering that she held the clock
in her hands. "It still works to!" They both burst out
laughing.
"Come on, let's go to town and do some shopping
before we leave Ireland!"
"Sounds great! I'd loved to get a few things for
my trip to remind me of home!"
The two girls ran upstairs, Elena got her purse and keys,
told her Aunt where they were going and then they were off.
