Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I won't always do one of these but I was just gonna say that I hope you like the chapter even though it is kind of short. REVIEW please it's my first thing.
Elizabeth strung her bow, loaded, and pointed into the brush at a hare. The arrow was swift and true, and it took the hare in one swift movement. Elizabeth was the best shooter in town but nobody noticed because she was a female. "Doomed to and always will be" she murmured to herself. She now had three hares in her pack. She assumed that it would be enough for her parents and her. She trotted her pony Apple into the view of the cit. Except for when she looked there was no city; all that remained was the burnt and abandoned homes and buildings. She took a deep breath maybe there are still people alive she thought after she had gotten control of herself. She rode down the hill to her little village in Galla. In a few moments she had made her way into the central square. She looked all around her and ended with her eyes looking down.. What she saw almost made her scream. Both of her parents were lying next to one another on the ground. The sign of Gallan raiders had been left in blood on their bodies. She ran to her house all the swearing that she would get the one who did this. She reached her home. The roof still had a small sparks on it. She crept through the door. She did not want to go to her room incase the roof might collapse. So she took the days fresh laundry, her fathers sword and dagger, She took one last look around the house and saw her mothers most prized possession a diamond string necklace. She took this and put it in the safest place she could find. She would keep in honor of her mother. She walked back out to her pony. She bent down to take one last look at her family and touched their stone cold faces she felt tears welling up in her soft blue eyes. She turned away from her family and mounted what was left of her family, her pony, and trotted up to the top of the hill. She turned around to take one last look and felt a tear trickle down her fair face. No she told herself you have to be strong. She quickly turned away and trotted off. That night after roaming for a few hours she came across a lake that she thought would be a good shelter. She lay down in her bed roll and sighed. Where will I go now she thought? She spent moments pondering this question and finally came to the decision of Tortall. I could start a new life maybe become a lovely lady even though that's not what I want to be her head backfired. Oh well I still have to so Tortall it is. Happy with her decision she fell of into a light sleep. She woke up to the sound of voices in the woods behind her. All she caught was "but what about the girl."
