Prologue: Triss' Tale

It was a sunny morning with the birds singing and Triss was as happy as could be as she bounced her two-year-old daughter on her lap. Her husband,Ahren was playing with their two-year-old son. Fawn and Evan were twins with brown hair and light blue eyes like the morning dawn. Triss loved them andAhren so very much, but most of her love rested with her beloved husband.

A man in a black cloak suddenly approached her asAhren placed Evan on the ground to stand up and go toward the cloaked man. AsAhren stood in front of Triss and Fawn he gave the both of them a reassuring smile. The man pulled out a dagger and threw it at Ahren. There was nothing Triss could do but watch in horror as her husband died to spare her life. The black man stepped scornfully over Ahren's corpse and Triss fell to the ground, shielding Fawn with her body. The last thing she saw before the man bludgeoned her into darkness was her husband's eyes, forever staring unblinkingly at the sky.

When Triss awoke, she immediately felt her head. There was a knob caked with blood and as big as her fist on the back of her skull. It was raining as she looked around. She saw her beloved husband never to see the light of day again and close by to him was Fawn. Her head had been ripped off her shoulders and if not for her dress, she would have been unrecognizable in all the blood. Evan was not much farther from his sister with his eyes gouged out and his neck cut open.

Her family had been killed, her home had been looted, and she had been left for dead. There was nothing else in life she felt worth living for...unless... That man, he had thought she was dead. Her eyes turned a dark red, a red of pure rage and horror. Triss knew what she was going to live for; she was going to live to kill that man.

So Trisscar Faile gathered her few hidden belongings, buried her husband and children, and left her home, never to return.

It's winter in the forest of Tear and snow covers the ground in a white blanket. A girl with brownish hair with silver-blonde highlights and purple eyes stands to face you. "Welcome to my world."

Author's Note: Ah, for those who have already read my story, either on a different site, or earlier, I have changed the name of Triss' husband. Blair really didn't seem to fit. And it was a stupid name. I don't even remember why I chose it. I changed to Ahren for a few reasons. The name is sooo much cooler. I fell in love with it. It's the name of one of Keiron's friends. I just like the name, although, I have to admit, Ahren is pretty cute. I did have that in mind when I was changing it. Do you really think Trisscar would choose an ugly husband? And don't say yes just to spite me. R & R!
