A/N: Hey, I got one review. That is one more than I was expecting. Thank you dontevenask1 for that!
Disclaimer: My idea didn't work. I tried to pay them but they wouldn't take the money. So I still don't own Avengers or the Second Draekon War. Hmmmm… Maybe another way…..
It was the middle of the night and everyone was asleep. Well everyone except a certain redheaded, bright blue eyed 6 yr. old girl who was at that moment sneaking into the orphanage's office.
Tara quietly closed the door behind and stepped forward carefully.
She had been doing this nearly every week since she could walk and had the way ingrained in her mind so that not one step made any sound.
She always went to see 2 things: the 2 swords that they had found in a package next to her. The swords looked exactly the same except the one had a blue gem in the hilt and the other had a green one.
The owner, Jess, didn't know that Tara knew the 2 swords existed. In fact, it was only because of Tara's curiosity and habit of getting into places she shouldn't be that she knew about them at all.
Tara carefully and silently moved a chair over to a cabinet. She stood on it and reached up to grab the blue sword.
Her little hand grasped it and started to pull it down. However, the blue sword was wedged beneath the green one, so when Tara pulled on the blue one, the green sword came with it.
It started to fall down to the ground, but faster than a little girl should be; Tara reached her hand out and caught it.
She paused and listened to make sure no one had been awaken.
She breathed a silent sigh of relief and slid off the chair.
She sat on the floor and slid the blue sword from its sheath. She began to examine it from hilt to tip, like she always did.
On it, in fancy script that her 6 yr. old eyes couldn't read yet, read Mazer. On the other, the green sword, in the same script read Ianna.
Tara examined the swords for the longest time. Her eyes took in everything, from Mazer's slightly blacken blade to Ianna's sparkling green gem.
It was her goal to completely memorize the appearance of the blades. She even went and started to examine the sheaths of the swords, since she had never done it before.
Then she stood and grabbed the swords, struggling to lift them up to her waist. It was almost as if she could feel the history in them, how old they were. And she was convinced that her parents had wielded them. She knew, in that moment, that she was going to learn how to wield them too.
A/N: Just so you know, Mazer is pronounced "Maze-er" and Ianna is pronounced "E-anna".
