Book 1: Prologue
I never knew my father. He disappeared a few months before I was born. My mother desperately tried to find out what had happened to him. She even stole some of the scrolls her mate had left with the leader. But they were written in a code she couldn’t crack. She was caught later and all the scrolls were taken away and hidden. But she found them and continued to try and break the code. When she was caught again the leader exiled her, saying she had one day to gather her belongings and leave. But she was determined to know what had happened to her husband and before she left she stole the rest of my fathers documents along with his journal.
Not to long after leaving her clan she gave birth to me and three others. My mother tried her best but she just wasn’t ready to take care of four pups. In the end she gave the other three to a barren female. I grew to be a sturdy youngster and learned the lessons she thought me quickly. After I learned to read and write my mother showed me how to work magic. This was something I had wanted to learn ever sense I had first seen my mother do it. I absorbed information like a sponge and soon moved on to more advanced studies.
When I was about 375 years old my mother became very ill. I was forced to take care of her as she had grown to weak. I tried every remedy every potion, but to no avail. Slowly the sickness began to kill her. Finally the day came that she called me to come to her side.
As she lay there dying she told me where she had hide my father scrolls and to study them well. She also told me how in return the new mother had given the four of us a crystal, a “special gift” she had told our mother “for them to use when they’re ready to take on the world. “These items belonged to you now” She told me “ Use them well and please try to find your father and the rest of the family.” She died a week later, leaving me alone for the first time. I left soon after and began my way in the world. I took the crystals and my dad’s journal but I left the rest of his documents hidden. I don’t know how but one of the crystals was accessed when I left. When I woke up I was across the plains, just being born into the human world. I forgot about my past and began to enjoyed this new life as a human. But about a month ago they started to come back. All of my memories of this world and my past came back. I cried for so long its not even funny. I questioned myself about who I was and what I wanted to be. But I know now that it’s time for me to leave… and go home.
