The Legend of The Lioness

Chapter 1: Prologue

By Shineyobjectslover

"Alanna your path does not lead to the palace" stated Maude after looking into the fire

Alanna looked at her in shock and ran out of the room crying without looking back

That was it, she was going to the convent and Thom was going to the palace.

3 months and a couple of days later

Alanna had been at the convent for almost three months now. She had just gotten a letter from Thom that morning saying that although he was horrible at fighting he had found some good books about sorcery in the library and had been practicing.

Alanna had tried to use her gift as little as possible but it was hard, she was still scared of it. That night Alanna felt her gift draining. She checked the link to see that it was Thom. She hopped out of bed only to sit back down from dizziness, losing her gift actually took energy out of her. She checked the link again to see what Thom was doing, only to find that it was dimming.

As Alanna sat there puzzled it finally hit her why their link was dimming, it was because Thom was dimming too. Thom was dieing. That night Alanna had lost her brother and along with him her gift had died as well.

A few weeks later

Alanna had packed her bags. She may have lost her brother and her gift but there was no way she was going to lose her dreams as well. Alanna slipped her small pack onto her back. She quickly glanced around her small room before slipping out of the window. As she walked away from the convent she didn't turn back once, it wasn't part of her life anymore, she had never wanted it to be and from now on in her memories was the only place it would ever be.

Ok this may be a bit boring but I needed the backround information and I needed Alanna to lose her gift so she could rightfully become a Shang. I probably won't update for a while cause I am going 2 Washington D.C. for a little.
