Gripping the railing of the ship Peter watched as the coast of the Westland came closer and closer. He was anxious to find Anna and get her to ShadyVale where he could finally be rid of all the trouble she caused him. At the moment he was beginning to become frustrated and that aggravation was turning into an uncontrolled hatred that needed to be vented anyway possible. He didn't want to hate her but he didn't know how else to respond to what she had done. His Master had told him that she was at Aborlon visiting with the Ellcry, most likely she was getting advice on what she should do. Maybe all she needed was to know the truth. He was forbidden to tell anyone the truth, especially her. If he did she'd probably only run from her destiny. Who could run from what was chasing her?
"Boy!" the captain yelled at him waving him to come over to the front of the ship, "Come here!"
Peter ran over hoping anything that they had found something that might've been Anna, it was a foolish hope but that's all he had at the moment. Standing beside the captain he stared the man in the eyes wondering what was going on. Hoping it was any good news and no more bad news. If he had to tell his Master one more bad thing he was going to hang himself. Yeah like that would work he cursed bitterly in the depths of his mind.
"Look I have my orders to take you to this coast right here," the captain began solemnly looking away from Peter's gaze, "and tell you from Dalamar that I can't bring you back. You and the girl have to find your own way back. He said that most likely the girl wouldn't be returning to the Four Lands which troubles me greatly cause that lass is one of a kind."
"You have no idea how one of a kind she is." Peter muttered rolling his eyes at all the trouble Anna had brought the world
"He did want you and the girl to have these though." The captain stated, "He wouldn't tell me why you were to get these only that you and the girl would make better use of them then dust collecting on them."
Placing in Peter's hand a sword accompanied by a bow and arrows. The sword was ordained with little worldly riches. It looked as though it had seen more wars then it was supposed to. The hilt was almost worn to deteriorate and give up its futile hold on life. Sliding it from its sheath he found that the sword was brilliantly silver and clean. Shining in the sun as though it was a brand new sword. Looking at the bow and arrows he found that it was a simple bow meant for possibly an elf maybe that is. The quiver was full of arrows of normal design. He was confused why would Dalamar give them these things? Anna had no idea how to fight. She only knew how to infuriate others; it had to be genetic in her family having a father like his Master it had to be genetic. He couldn't of course argue or refuse what was being given to him so he bowed and went to retrieve his things from his room. He belted the sword and put the bow and arrows comfortably on with his pack.
They were anchored not far off the coast far enough that a small boat would take Peter out and then return to the ship. As he sat in the boat he watched as all the crew looked down at him saying their silent goodbyes but locking eyes with him. He had grown accustomed to them, he had gotten to know them and now he was leaving them to look for a crazed little girl in a strange world he barely knew. The captain took him out to the shore himself. Rowing in the small boat they were quiet as the oceans waves calmed their troubled souls. Finally reaching the shore the captain looked up at him and smiling faintly nodded his head and began rowing back to the ship.
"Wait!" Peter yelled out, "What do I give Anna, the sword or the bow? You never told me that."
"When you see her again you'll find her changed boy more then she should be she'll decide when the time comes!" the captain yelled back not bothering to even slow his pace at rowing.
Peter felt so alone but he knew that he had to do this. No matter how angry he was at Anna he had to go and rescue her from whatever horrible position she was in. He would travel to her until there was no more to travel for. They would get to ShadyVale and whatever happened, happened for the best. Turning he began his journey through the rocky terrain of the Rocs nests. Hopefully he wouldn't have to meet one of those giant birds he wasn't in the mood for defending himself at the moment. He took one last look as the ship with the crew he had gotten to know sailed away.
Peter traveled for days until he finally came upon the capital city of Aborlon the elfin home. Where Anna's mother had met her end, and where her family and her lover had betrayed her. Shaking Peter tried not to think of all the horrible memories; it had to be worse for Anna. She had to witness her mother die again and watch this beautiful place be destroyed by horrendous monsters. He entered the city with no difficulty at all. The only problem he did have was how he was going to find Anna. He still hadn't thought of that.
Anna awoke to finding herself peacefully rested in her comfy ocean like bed. She had spent all night talking with her grandfather. Asking so many questions to which he answered so politely and patiently. He had come because of her and every time she thought about it. It would bring tears to her eyes. Stretching in the bed she allowed the sun to bathe her in its warmth glow. Getting out of the bed she went to the window opening it she went outside where a small balcony was there. She went to the railing and looking out she saw the beauty of Aborlon for what it truly was. She was happy. She couldn't believe it, her Anna Majere was happy. Was that even possible? Was it allowed? She had caused so many problems but her grandfather didn't care. Why didn't he though? Normal grandparents would scold her for what she had done. Running from home, trusting complete strangers, traveling all the way to the Four Lands on some hope. Something wasn't right but she couldn't place it. The way he had smiled yesterday it reminded her of that bitter smile she had witnessed the day him and her father had betrayed her mother. Shaking her head she got rid of those horrible accusations that she had formed against her grandfather.
Closing her eyes she simply sighed and tried to go back to sleep. She could sense something creeping up behind her. When she opened her eyes she found that she wasn't in her room anymore. In fact she believed that she wasn't even in the Westland. No she didn't want to see another vision of her mother's memory. Not again especially if there was something terrible about this one. Closing her eyes shut she didn't want to see anything nothing more. She knew all about her mother that she wanted to know. No more.
"My daughter?" Anna heard her mother say as though she was talking to her.
Tears coming to her eyes she brushed them away as she fought back the urge to open her eyes and look at her mother's kind face. That kind face that had been killed not even a year ago. She wanted nothing more then to break away from these memories. Her father was right she couldn't handle these on her own she was just not mentally stable to handle them.
"My sweetest daughter will you not open your eyes and look at me?" her mother asked directly to her.
Eyes snapping open she saw that her mother wasn't in that faded color that the memory usually showed her. Her mother wore simple white robes favoring her lovely figure. She was bright and so beautiful but Anna knew that her mother was dead. There was nothing that could bring back the dead so why was her mother speaking directly to her?
"Anna nothing can bring the dead back but Druids can come to there family through the lessons we leave them." Her mother said smiling at her, "My you've grown so much I can't believe it. I wish I could wrap my arms around you but I can't. Your uncle Caramon's going to be busy keeping those young men of Krynn from his little niece."
"Mom?" Anna whispered holding her tears back, "Why are you here?"
"To finally tell you what you have to do here." Her mother whispered looking away from her daughter her face so contorted with sorrow it broke Anna's heart, "Please know that I love you so much Anna. I could never love anyone more then you. You'll hate me for what I must tell you but it's necessary for the survival of the world."
"You mean what Paladine told Caramon and Tika?" Anna asked watching her mother intently.
"I'm afraid so my dear. I really don't want to tell you but it's the only way you'll survive what's coming." Elysee said watching her daughter as intently as the daughter watched the mother, "I'm so proud of you. But know there must be no more secrets between you and I. I'm so sorry."
Anna felt a rush of cold go through her body as images that muddled together began corresponding before her eyes. So much blood and what were these creatures doing to the bodies of the dead. Shrieking in such horrible terror she couldn't find herself to stop screaming.
"I don't want to do this to her but we have to." Ander whispered shaking his head as the High Council watched Allanon pacing the room, "The poor girl will never forgive any of us. Especially you Allanon, why had you shown her such kindness yesterday?"
"I had to that's what Elysee told me to do." Allanon muttered back continuing to go back and forth, "What I don't understand is what kind of new evil could come. We already have horrendous enough evil here on the Four Lands and then Krynn has it worse then us with those foul gods of theirs. All of those gods so desperate to get there hands on Anna but why?"
"Probably because she knows something that none of us know." Ander snapped back sick and tired of having the same conversation with the Druid for what seemed the thousandth time, "Now stop pacing she'll be coming soon you know that."
"Alright I'll try and calm down but its hard I don't want to do this she looks so much like her mother except her eyes of course." Allanon whispered fondly shaking his head he stood in the middle of the room his head bowed he waited for the boy named Peter to come.
Her mother Elysee that broke his heart so much had preordained all of this up to what would happen to Anna. His own beloved daughter Elysee had predicted the way Anna was to die. Why would life deal such a horrible deal to Anna? He knew once Anna was dead everything would be just fine but he didn't want to really believe that. He'd have to wait and see what would happen. For the first time he an all-powerful Druid would have to rely on an untrained half Druid to save the world. She didn't even know what she would be doing as she went on with life.
She finally was released from the spell of her mother. She cried for a little while not knowing what else to do. She went to the small door that led to the balcony. Looking down she saw that she had a view of the front door and the path's that led to it. Her eyes widened and she was shocked to see the one person in the whole world she never wanted to see. Here he was storming up to the mansion. Tears sprung to her eyes as she watched Peter's hurried walk come closer to the building.
Regaining control of herself she quickly ran back into the room where she packed up everything she owned and changing quickly to some pants and a shirt that she had hidden from those awful maids. They were trying to make her into a lady that didn't exactly suit her that well. At least her shirt and pants were clean. She wrapped her cloak around her and holstered her pack onto her shoulders where she quickly ran to the door. Running out of her room she went to search for her grandfather. Running here and there she searched the entire building till she finally remembered that there was another room she hadn't even checked. She hadn't been in the room but she knew it well. Her mother had helped Allanon bring Wil and Amberle before the High Council. She didn't want to go there. She had hoped since she had gotten to the place she wouldn't have to there. She had no choice though she had to go.
Walking the way as though led by a string she finally came upon the room where surprises may be the door was open. Looking in she saw that the whole room was full of men and some women. Her grandfather and Peter stood in front of them. She walked into the room where she brought silence to all. They all stared at her and Peter had such a look of hate in his eyes as he looked at her. It brought such upset tears to her eyes that she wanted nothing but to run away again. Run from that look. Looking at her grandfather she saw no longer the kind soft gaze from last night but one of an equal hatred. Looking around the room she saw that everyone gave the impression of being angry with her. What had she done though? Shrinking from their gazes she started to shake from her emotions. She wanted them to stop staring at her, to just look away from her to stop being so quiet and say anything.
"Anna Majere!" Ander's once kind and compassionate voice bellowed from him, "You have intruded upon a meeting of which may concern you but does not mean you have to be here for it."
"Concern me?" Anna whispered feeling her tears creep from her eyes one by one, "No it can't be, I didn't do anything. I swear I'm not like my father or my mother I'm someone entirely different."
"Anna what are you muttering about?" her grandfather snapped his patience finally wasted on her, "Stop your useless mutterings and go back to your room. Now!"
She stepped back from him in fear scared of what he may do to her if she didn't listen to him. But if this meeting concerned her why shouldn't she be here?
"Anna get out of here right now!" Peter snapped, "Your not wanted go!"
Everyone was yelling at her cause of something to do with her. Her uncle and aunt that first night she'd come to these different worlds. It was just as her mother had told her. Just as Paladine had told Tika and Caramon that she would come by a means unknown to herself, that she would have to fight some new evil threat. But what could that be?
Then it hit her she knew why she had come back to her home world. She had to do something but before she did that she wanted to do one thing that would make her even more selfish then she already was. She ceased her crying and allowing them one final look at her she ran out of the room where she dodged and ducked from the guards who tried to grab her. She could hear Peter and her grandfather yelling at her. But it didn't matter anymore, nothing-mattered cause she knew what to do. She would need a horse though to help her.
They were all looking for her madly trying to locate her. No such luck she'd learned to hide her from bullies at a much younger age. Keep quiet and try not to breath as much as weird as that sounded not to mention hard but she had learned. She stayed in her hiding place in the cover of the trees till nightfall where she finally went to the stable and began looking for a horse. They were all gone though. They must've thought that she had gone on just on foot, she wasn't that stupid. Even if she didn't know this world she at least knew that she needed a horse. She needed a mode of transportation.
"Anna you'll be needing a horse to get wherever you're going don't you?" Peter's voice sounded from behind her soft unlike when he had talked to her earlier.
She turned around and looking at him with utter disgust began walking on by him when he grabbed her arm. She tried to break free from him but couldn't he wouldn't let go of her. Of course he wasn't about to let her leave him again not till he gave her back to her father. She beat uselessly against him trying to get away from him. Finally frustrated beyond the point of reasoning she took her knife from her belt and stabbed him in his heart. As a final point she was able to get away from him. Shocked she saw his limp body fall to the ground where blood began to mat the dirt around him. The blood inched closer to her stunned body she was unable to think of anything else but the blood. She took up whatever courage was left inside her and went to his side crying her eyes out as she put her head in her hands. What had she done? She'd killed another human being. All cause he wouldn't let go of her.
"Come on Anna don't cry." Peter's voice said alive and healthy sounding.
Looking at him she saw him pull the dagger out of his chest where she watched a weird glow come from his chest. The wound began healing itself. Little sort of bugs materialized white as freshly strewn snow begins to stitch the wound back up. Frightened she backed away from him shaking her head.
"Anna calm down your father Raistlin my Master gave me this ability so I'd be safe when he wasn't with me to patch me up." He said sliding her the dagger, "Clean it and put it away I'm not here to take you to your father. I can't do it, correction I won't do it."
"Why?" she asked cleaning and sheathing the dagger.
"I finally figured out what you wanted Anna." Peter said smiling at her, "All this time we were together I couldn't help but wonder why such a sweet girl would run away from what little family she had. I found it so stupid, I had no family and you didn't see me running away. No I told myself I stood on my own two feet and took what life gave me. But you through the whole time we were together you always shared with me your happiness.
"I never understood why you did that. I would ask myself as I looked over at you sleeping so soundly why would you give up what little happiness you had for others? I figured it out Anna you wanted to make others' happy when they themselves could barely even see what the word happy meant."
For a while they stood staring at each other in silence Anna touched and feeling as though her heart was about to burst tried to contain her tears. She wanted nothing more then to run into his arms but she couldn't do that, she couldn't have him comfort her. Everything between them was changed forever. They would never be the same as they were before. She would always be wary of him no matter what. Though he said such sweet words she was still afraid of him no matter what.
"I know you won't tell me where your going I actually don't want you to tell me." Peter finally spoke breaking the silence between them, "I just want you to go wherever you want. Keep running from your grandfather and your father. Just promise me one thing Anna."
"What?" she asked getting to her feet she brushed off the dirt and straw.
"That we can be friends." He said helping her into the saddle.
She nodded unable to say anything else, "Won't you be in trouble for this Peter?"
"Yeah I'll be in loads of trouble with Raistlin but you know what I can't betray a friend as good as you." Peter stated giving her a soft smile to ease her worry, "Alright now remember you still have one friend in all of this so don't try and worry too much."
"Peter before I go can you tell me your real name?" Anna asked blushing a bit, "I told you my real name."
"I suppose that's tolerable enough," he whispered taking a long time in telling her the truth he stood there looking at her finally he whispered to her, "Maeyul I have no idea what it means either so don't ask."
"Maeyul." She whispered trying out the name, "Well that's a beautiful name why wouldn't you tell me to begin with? Stupid man!"
"Hey come on give me a break it was hard enough just to get you to trust me as it was," he said grinning at her, "Here take this I don't want it anymore. Anyways your grandfather has one."
He placed in her hand the communication crystal that connected him to her father. He was giving her this to show that he didn't want to do what her father ordered him anymore. He was giving up the servitude life to show her his friendship.
"Take care of yourself Anna." Peter muttered blushing a bit.
"I will don't worry your little brain." Anna said holding tightly to the crystal she placed it around her neck. Smiling at him she laughed a bit before anything else, "Take care of yourself Peter I'll see you around!"
As she began to shift the horse into position he grabbed her arm before she took off, "Tell me what would you like sword or bow?"
"Bow I suppose but why are you asking me?" she was confused by what he was saying why would he ask her about swords and bows she barely knew how to use one.
Grabbing a stool he stood on it where he took the bow and quiver he had and placed on the horse. Smiling he tightly strapped them on and in place.
"A gift from Dalamar I think he knew this would happen." Peter said stepping away he went to open the barn door, "Go Anna! Run wherever you want to! Have some fun where we couldn't have any!"
She looked out and saw the road before her. It was long and scary but usually the long roads where the most fulfilling of all of them. Smiling she nodded to Peter and kicking the horse slightly rode of into the night. She could feel the wind cooling her calming her troubling emotions. She couldn't believe all that had happened today. Her grandfather had betrayed her as much as everyone else in the elf community. She'd go to the next best thing before she went to her final destination. She'd go and see Shea her grandfather's friend. No matter how much she didn't trust the man she had to talk to him to try and figure something anything out about what was going on with everything. He might know what was going on and he might tell her which is what she was wishing for. To travel to the Southlands where ShadyVale resided and where Shea Ohmsford lived. She'd have to be careful with all those who were looking for her and not to mention that she and Peter were supposed to meet her father at ShadyVale.
"What do we do now about Anna?" Tanis asked the ship continuing to rock about as they all sat down below deck discussing late into the night.
"Nothing we can do Tanis she's doing what she wants. If she wants to see her grandfather it's not as though we can stop her." Caramon said leaning against the wall of the room, "After all she'll learn so enough what's to be demanded of her won't she Raistlin?"
All of them looked over at the silent black figure in the corner of the room. He had called for this meeting and he wasn't saying a thing to any of them. He had simply ignored them not bothering to even acknowledge their presence.
"She already knows what that is." Raistlin whispered.
"What?" Tika asked looking at him with a suspicious look, "How can she? None of us told her or even hinted towards her what she would be demanded to do when she got to the Four Lands. How can she know?"
"Her mother." Raistlin replied calmly.
"She's dead you even told us that." Tanis scoffed waving away the crazed mage's notion out of the picture, "You of all people know that the dead can not come back in the Four Lands everyone knows that."
"Elysee is a Druid my dear Tanis she can contact Anna with her own subconscious from the land of the dead." Raistlin evenly explained, "Anna is receiving her mothers memories we all agree on that."
"Of course we do Raistlin continue." Caramon said rolling his eyes in exasperation.
"Very good then. Elysee has told Anna through these memories in the only way she could tell her." Raistlin whispered darkly shielding himself from the others.
"How is that?" Tika questioned apprehensively.
"By showing her how she will die in the same instance." Raistlin said locking gaze with Caramon, "Just as Paladine showed us my dear brother. You remember the vision well I can see it in your eyes. Yes it is a gruesome most painful death for someone so young. But as you well know she doesn't belong here or anywhere."
"Why should she have to die?" Tanis asked pale and shocked to the core, "I mean is there no other way to stop this from happening?"
"She must die Tanis there is no other way. How could there be?" Raistlin shook his head leaving everyone bereft of any hope at all, "That is why no one from the Four Lands can fall in love with another from Krynn. That is why my friends the lands are separate of each other."
"I won't do it Raistlin." Caramon whispered looking out the window unable to bring his gaze to the room, "I can't. She's just a child she doesn't deserve this."
"You have to Caramon just like Paladine showed us!" Raistlin hissed standing abruptly to his feet in rage that emanated from his body, "She must die for the sake of everyone else. Are you telling me Caramon that you would let the world perish all for some stupid little girl that you don't even know?"
"Raist I can't just believe that Paladine wants us to save the world by killing an innocent little girl." Caramon shook his head wretchedly disheartened, "If it is then I can not follow what he tells us Raist. She's your daughter and yet you're so ready to kill her. Why do you blame everything on her? Tell me Raistlin is it Paladine who wants her dead or you? I'm starting to really think that its you, that its been you all along arranging every little thing that goes wrong for her. You hate your own daughter."
"Of course I do!" Raistlin shouted at the top of his lungs, "She's been nothing but a nuisance since she was born. Just as you've been an idiot since you were born."
"Why would you hate your daughter so much Raistlin?" Tika asked moving to stand by her husband, "She is so sweet and kind and caring of others. I'm sure that's what her mother was like."
"No her mother never cared for anyone." Raistlin snapped, "Her mother didn't even care about her own daughter. If anything Elysee hated Anna!"
"Your wrong father." Anna's voice came from the communication crystal on the table glowing brightly as ever.
"How did you get the crystal?" Raistlin demanded glaring at the crystal that now spoke with his daughters voice, "Peter wouldn't give it away he was told to keep it a secret just as Allanon wouldn't give you his. How I demand of you to tell me how you got the crystal?"
"Peter gave it to me father." Anna spoke clearly and her voice sounded so different. She had remarkably changed in the few past days that she had been away from everyone in the Four Lands on her own.
"Anna what do you mean when you say your father was wrong?" Tika asked sitting at the table eagerly.
"Its good to hear your voice aunt Tika." Anna said.
"Its good to hear you too Anna I've been so worried about you so much." Tika said tears creeping into her eyes, "Now tell me how he's wrong."
"My father says that my mother never cared about me. What about the day that Amberle turned into the Ellcry to stop the Demons father? How you, Allanon her own father, and Eventine all tricked her. How you put a spell on your own lover?" Anna demanded her anger seething from her voice, "Tell me father how it is that my mother didn't care for me when she broke all the rules in these worlds to tell me why you brought me back to this world?"
Raistlin couldn't bring himself to answer his daughter. She knew everything, Elysee hadn't told her any half-truths as the Druids loved to do. His daughter had learned everything on her own but to what end would it help her he thought. She would still have to die no matter what. So why is it that now he asked himself that I think maybe she is my equal just as her mother was.
"A stunned silence why am I not surprised by that?" Anna asked sarcastically, "Yes father I've grown up, I'm no longer the little child you thought of me when we first met. I've learned things that only you and Allanon could dream of learning. Remember father for now I'm not that whimpering little girl now I'm a warrior who demands respect not a person who asks for it. If you ever want to catch up to me then meet me at the Valley of Shale in two weeks time. I'll be there and you had better be prepared to have Allanon their cause I'll kill you both for what you did. I'll never forgive either of you even if you tried to take that path."
"Why two weeks Anna?" Tanis asked desperate to figure out her newfound source of fury.
"I have business to attend to for instance the draconians that my father has sent to kill me and the Mewlerts that Allanon sent to kill me." Anna said the crystal beginning to dim, "Two weeks father, I'll meet you there. Fare thee well into hell."
The crystal went out and all Raistlin could do was watch the crystal now as dark as midnight was. His daughter had business to attend to in a foreign land. How was that even possible? Shaking his head he slumped into his vacant chair to shocked and surprised to do anything else.
"It seems the teacher has become the master Raist." Caramon whispered walking towards the door, "She'll be ready Raist it be best if you were ready as well cause by the sound of her voice she's serious about this."
Caramon left the room Tika following after him, that left Tanis watching Raistlin with a hawk gaze. The half elf was aghast that the man who sat before him had sent such dangerous creatures as draconians after his own daughter.
"Say it already and leave me be Tanis!" Raistlin snapped.
"What will you do now old friend?" Tanis asked unable to bring anything else to mind.
"I'll fight her what else can I do?" Raistlin's voice cracked at Tanis like a whip does to human flesh, "She means business about killing me just as that oaf Caramon said you old doddering fool."
Walking towards the door Tanis opened it and as he stood on the threshold of leaving he turned his head slightly and replied calmly, "She's changed and that means what she said was true. She's not the same child you met a couple of months ago. You put her through these trials now reap the benefits Raistlin."
Tanis left the room leaving Raistlin with his thoughts. His daughter meant to kill him there was no doubt about that. For some reason he felt sad about it but in another way this was just an alternative to achieving that which Paladine had shown them. She would die but by his hands not by another's. After all why should they have the fun of watching the annoying girl die by their hands and not him?
Anna slept till dawn when she awoke she cared not about the bodies around her. Dead draconians and Mewlerts lay all around her. Foolish creatures they thought to sneak up behind her to kill her. It seemed her father and grandfather still thought her defenseless. Anna had learned all about her destiny that her father had talked about that night long ago in Solace. It had been over a week and a half since she had left Aborlon to journey to ShadyVale. She was ready for whatever she encountered thanks to the memories of her mother. Through all the problems she learned to fight from the memories that were her heritage from her mother. She was an unstoppable thanks to her mother's memories that she treasured more then anything.
It seemed though as she rode her horse that she had answered her before question that she had actually asked the Ellcry. She could kill others. She wasn't afraid of it anymore; she could kill whomever she wanted when she wanted. Why whatever evil would come next she could kill easily. She wasn't afraid like she had been a couple of months ago cowering behind Tanis and her uncle Caramon hoping that they would protect her from her father. Now she could simply destroy her father at the Valley of Shale when she saw them there. Her father and her grandfather would die for what they had done to her.
As she rode on the rest of the day she was pleased when she toped a rise and saw the small village of ShadyVale of course within a valley hence the name she thought. Smiling most wickedly she descended into the valley ready to see what she would find below. Shea Ohmsford and possible if he still lived Flick Ohmsford. She would learn from both of them why her grandfather and father wanted her dead so much. If they wouldn't tell her then she was positive that she could use some force if the situation demanded it that is she thought.
"Shea and Flick Ohmsford tomorrow we shall see what kind of men you are." She said into the night's sky, "See if you really are worth the title hero anymore since your era has almost come to an end."
Authors Note:
I posted a new chapter miracles can happen. I know it took a long time but I've been busy with Christmas coming. Stupid shopping for everyone. Too many presents to get and so little time to do it. Meh whatever. So I know Anna's like turning into such a monster it's so sad but then again her father and grandfather do deserve it. I wonder have any of you have figured out why they want her dead so much? No one's even come up with anything good about what she has to fight. Come on I've given so many clues in this one it's getting pretty obvious.
The usual stuff of how Dragonlance and the Storyline of the Shannara books are not owned by me but by their respective authors. I do though own Anna Majeres character and Elysee's character due to I made them up one day due to boredom during physics, thats a little off topic sorry.
Oh yeah I figured I'd take this time to thank everyone who's reviewed this story that I'm having so much fun writing. So here goes the thank you's:
Legona: You guessed and that makes me happy that you tried but sorry that's not what she has to fight. Keep trying to figure it out though and thank you for reviewing.
DarkRaistlin: I know that I kind of kept Raistlin out of the picture for a couple of chapters since Anna left Solace but its gotten better I hope you like it now. Thank you for reviewing.
Evilnaraku: Your review made me laugh so much and I'm sorry if you like the character but I had to make him evil. Continue to read and you'll see. Thank you for reviewing.
The Balrog of Atena: Well I'm glad that you like the relationship so far. I hope though that in this new chapter I haven't made it a little sappy. I'm afraid I might've done that if so I'm so angry with myself cause Raistlin is not a doting parent. Thank you for reviewing though.
