Prologue: a future shattered

The Queen stared out over the broken landscape, a single crystalline tear slid down her cheek as a cold breeze blew past. She turned and walked back into the place which was once a palace, once was a home ......once was filled with life, lightand laughter . . . But no more, now the only thing's to linger here were Pain, death and sad memories, She walked into the great hall her steps making the only sound in that terrible silence her once white gown trailing behind her like smoke from a fire, around her lie the bodies of the fallen there is no future for them, no, not another repeat of what her mother had done. For unlike then when the enemy had died along with the child, the queen knew in her heart of hearts that the enemy that had caused this ruin was still out there, watching, waiting to snare her child at the future rebirth. The only option left open to her was to send them back for no one would think to send them back to be reborn where the princess had already been.
