Fellow Fans of Mr. Garth Nix,
Nix has so far written three books about the Old Kingdom. It's amazing how many rules you have to follow when writing a fanfiction from three books! And people say Lord of the Rings is bad!
Sabriel (the book, not character) gives us very little information about The Beginning. Only a couple of comments here and there about the "Five Great Charters" rhyme. Most of the information we have to work with comes from Lirael and Abhorsen.
Still, not everything is specified about The Beginning. A lot of it has been left for our imaginations. The genders of the Seven is a major issue and I see a lot of variety in the fanfictions here.
At any rate, I've made some pretty intellectual guesses. (Don't think I just woke up one day and decided to write this fanfiction; research was put into it.) Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If you do, please tell me where you found the information. It would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
Anyway, moving on.
Long long ago in a galaxy far, far away-er, well, a few years ago (I think just after Lirael, but don't hold me to it) I tried an Old Kingdom fanfiction. As you can guess, it didn't work at all. Figures. I think at the time, I was too caught up with the book I was writing by myself.
But for whatever reason, I forgot about it COMPLETELY until a few weeks ago when my friend began her fanfiction of Sabriel. I was rummaging through some old notes I had of the Old Kingdom for my website (no, folks, I am not a nerd * cough *) and I found this short story that was supposedly Chapter One.
Crash.
I rewrote it and, with the added knowledge of all that is good in Abhorsen, I started writing it again. To make a long story short, Enjoy the fanfic; it's been a long time coming.
I usually like to stay hidden away in the Forgotten Realms section of the site, but I'm feeling up to exploring. Have patience. My six braincells are hard-pressed.

PS-I do not own any of the characters mentioned in the following chapters of this fanfiction. Well, some I do, but they are just random appearances who no one really cares about. The main characters in this fanfiction belong to a fantasy-MASTERMIND named Garth Nix. Please, worship him. Sacrifice goats for him. BUT, please remember to send all proceeds to me. I will gladly hold all money, checks, or credit cards in my care until the men in white come for me.
