Prologue

                                                   2 months ago...

Thump. I landed on the ground of the human world. I looked around. Oh no! I was empty handed! I must have let go! I looked up & saw the moon. It was a bit... red. Tears filled my blue eyes as I recalled the events of the night. It was a full moon night in Tyrria. Tyrria the magical kingdom. My home. In Tyrria the moon had magical powers. They were never the same though. At dinner time my parents decided to eat outside. I, of course, didn't. I stayed inside. After I ate I went to the outside place where my parents were dining. The moon's reflection stayed on the right of mother's plate & the left of father's plate. Strange, but we're talking about the full moon here! It had magic powers! "Father, the royal adviser wants to see you, & mother aunt Gelda is here to talk about the party." Yes my parents were the king & queen of Tyrria. Queen Aurose & King Miran. Which makes me princess Ilena of Tyrria. That's spelled I - L - E - N- A. The party I was talking about was my birthday party for today. Why would my parents be eating dinner on the morning of my birthday before the sun came up? Simple. The time zone sometimes changed when the sun decided to come up later. It was the moon's fault. But it was actually the next day strangely enough. We still couldn't figure out if it was nighttime in the morning or morning in the nighttime. My long wavy black hair swished in front of my Snow White face. "We'll be right there, Ilena, '' father says. He starts to clear the table when his fork pricks him & a drop of blood lands on the moon's reflection. I panic. "The moon's reflection!" I exclaim & father sees. He quickly wipes it away. "Now it should be fine". I fear the worst. "Ilena don't worry nothing will happen" & mom pricks her own finger with the rose in her hair causing a drop of blood to fall on her moon reflection & wipes it away to prove it to me. "Mother no! What will happen now!" I exclaimed. Why would they do such a thing? Was it some sort of spell? I wait a moment & hug my parents in case something happens. They hug back. But nothing happens. I breathe a sigh of relief & step back to see the moon. It was red. I looked at my parents worriedly but they disappeared in front of me. I panicked. The blood moon a voice told me. It is the night of the blood moon. I ran back into the castle & informed everyone of what happened. The dungeons were open & unknown people surrounded the castle. A battle raged. The blood moon released all evil. I ran to another room. I found what I needed to find. I ran through the secret evacuation tunnel. Where to go? I asked myself. I thought for a moment. There was a portal we could go through if I opened my ring. "The human world," I said out loud. "Let's go," I said once again. I opened the portal. Footsteps. They've claimed the castle. I took 1 last look at my home. Cannonballs had disfigured it & gray smoke filled the air. My hands clasped around what I needed to protect. Boom! Crack! Tyrria was being destroyed & I saw it with my own eyes. Then the portal swirled & I was dizzy. I unclenched my hands. I would soon enter a different world. I was escaping into the unknown. And I did. I opened my eyes. Tears were falling at the memory. I let go. Where was? I couldn't even think. My parents, my home, & my life was gone. For the first time in my life. I was completely alone. After the drama my day had led into I felt very, very tired. Before I lost consciousness I glanced at my ring. It had been a gift from my grandmother. The once purple ring had the color of sunset as it did when the next day came. I vaguely remembered it being sunset before this all happened. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was my birthday. I was 11. I was supposed to be celebrating with a big party at the castle. Instead I was stranded as an orphan in a whole new world. Literally. Happy Birthday Ilena, was the last thing I thought before I welcomed the darkness that claimed me.
