The Seasons Heart

Prologue

"Oh father do tell us a bedtime story!" I cried
"I don't know Ali, the sun has set awhile ago." My father told me
"But Ali's father, we can't sleep without a bedtime story!" Jenna cried out.
"And if we can't sleep we can't pick wheat in the morning." Tyler added.
"Please." Morgan pleaded
"Well okay if you insist but I expect there to be twelve stones of both wheat and barley picked tomorrow." Father said
"Consider it done!" I exclaimed
"What would you like it to be about?" Father asked
"Adventures!" Tyler requested
"Legend!" Morgan requested
"Okay here is the story." Father started "Way past our little farm past many rivers and cliffs, in the Swiss alps there is a treasure beyond any. It is called The Seasons Heart. It is said that if you place it over the heart of someone who is ill, and say the words 'summer, winter, spring, and fall; heel the one who can live no more' The Seasons Heart will heal them. However nothing in this world is ever free. Like we have to give the wheat and barley some of our water so it will grow. The Seasons Heart must take the body of the person who it healed once that person has died. Some people find it worth while but others want a body be left for people to remember them by."
"Is this story true?" Jenna asked
"As true as the sun will rise in the morning," Father reassured us "Good night kids."
"Good night," we all said, and father walked away with the candle.
"Say Ali," Morgan said
"Yeah,"
"Do you think that your father is right or do you think he went a little heavy on the wine again?" Morgan asked
"I think it might be a little of both." I replied
"I think he's right." Jenna said "I don't think Ali's father would lie to us."
"What do you think Tyler?" Morgan asked
"I think that it could be possible," Tyler started " but why would we need it out here? We have lord Smith for protection and besides we serfs can't leave our land."
"I guess your right we have everything we need right here." I said
We live in a little village of Troy as farming village. My family, Jenna's family, and Morgan and Tyler's family all pick wheat and barley. Like our families there are three others just like it. Another raises cattle, another produces fruit, and the other produces vegetables. It's a very nice little village and very calm as Tyler said if we needed protection in any way lord Smith could handle it.
All this happened eight years ago. Back when this happened we were all five or six. Now we are ages thirteen to fourteen. And finally now is were this story begins.

Hi I hope you enjoyed the prologue of the Seasons Heart. There are a few things that I found unnecessary to put into the prologue either because Ali would assume you knew it or it was hinted at:
Morgan and Tyler are twins
And Ali is pronounce Allie. only reason I spelled it Ali is because she is based off of a friend and she spells her name Ali

Other than that please leave a comment. Also follow me if you'd like.
