*Prologue*

Lighting cracked through the sky: signaling to Deloras that Narissa was near. She held the child closer to her breast, as she ran as fast as her legs could take her. Thunder clapped overhead, telling her that Oberion, Narissa older brother, had joined the chase. Deloras knew in her heart that if the two siblings had joined together, that the golden age of Vertanea would come to an end, and the prophecy that the seer, Flora, had fortold had come to pass. Vertanea would see darker days than when Oberion and Narissa's parents ruled this land.

She ran into dense forest of the Elven people of the Earth Kingdom. Usually the Elven and Dwarves of the Earth Kingdom where a neutral people but it seemed as though Narissa of the Helldoran Clan was weaving her dark magic was upon this place as well in all the other kingdoms.

As she ran deeper into the twisted forest: branches were scratching at her skin and tearing at her clothing. But, she couldn't think about the stinging pain the branches were causing her. She had to keep moving. She had to protect her child from them ... The Helldoran Clan.

She heard footsteps coming closer, as she approached the heart of the forest. Deloras hid the baby out of sight in th holding sack in the folds of her burgundy robe. She looked over her shoulder as she saw and arrows being launched at her. As arrows whizzed passed her head.

She saw some kind of symbol. At the end of the arrow was a golden multicolored eagle-sized bird. The Helldoran symbol ... Damn it they found us already!! Deloras thought to herself. She zigzagged through the forest as she tried to get them off her trail.

Turning to her left she found herself cornered by one of the people she trusted most ...

"Demeter! What is the meaning of this?" Deloras questioned in outrage as she took in the sight of a beautiful blonde women with doe-like blue eyes dressed in golden Helldoran amor.

" What did you actually think that I was going to stay loyal to you? Ha! You must be a bigger fool then I thought you were."

"Why? Why would betray your friend .... and the kingdom to that outcast clan for what money ... power?" Deloras asked in disbelief. She couldn't fathom why she would do this to the kindgom

" Do you know how long I have waited for Narissa to make her moved? Since the day you were crowned queen ... not me! Everything i always wanted you have gotten ... well not this time I am going to get what I want by killing you." Demeter venomously shouted as she launched two arrows at Deloras's windpipe.

Deloras conjured her power over water to make large storm clouds role in overhead. Icy rain drops started to surround Demeter and the arrows as they almost reached her jugular; she clutched her fist together making the rain transform Demeter into a frozen statue.

Delorala stared at Demeter's cruel face. Without hesitation she thrusted her fist at Demeter 's ice-covered body, shattering her into a million pieces.

She sunk to the forest floor, as exhaustion overtook her body. Her child's wails finally reached her ears as her senses returned. Deloras sighed as she didn't expect to use that much energy. She hauled herself off the forest floor and made her way back to the heart of the forest. Where Rebecca, the hafling and Flora, the seer would take Alaina, her child to the earth realm where the population was large enough to hide the baby's immense power.
