Oriana, Girl of Legend

Prologue

There was a time before the myths of vampires, unicorns, fairies, and other mythical creatures. There was a time when they existed peacefully with humans. There was no fear in this world that almost seemed too perfect.

Vampires never thirsted on humans with their hunger. They would feed off of animals that were over populated, like deer, elk, and bears for nourishment and strength. They lived peacefully with humans, although some humans would chase them away in fear of their need for blood..

Unicorns were rare creatures to be see. Humans lusted for their unbelievable powers of healing and never aging and the vampires would stand to defend and protect these rare and beautiful creatures. Unicorns had many abilities, especially with their blood. But one of their most desired abilities was to heal anyone, even from the brink of death. They also had unlimited knowledge of things of the past, of the present, and of the future.

Fairies were born as each flower bloomed. Each fairy was different, but still kind and beautiful. They weren't small like butterflies as you would imagined. They were as tall as any human with splendid wings that to look at were very delicate, but impossible to break. Their power was to keep all living things beautiful, peaceful and remain unknown to humans. Not that the humans would kill them or trap them away, but they feared the humans for their flaws, like pride, greed, lust, and everything impure. For these fairies they were pure in heart and mind.

Werewolves were the only things feared among humans. Werewolves never attacked the humans, but their fearsome eyes and sharp fangs kept humans at bay. Werewolves were known as protectors of humans, unicorns, fairies, and even vampires if needed.

But the greatest and most power creatures were the dragons, even more rare then unicorns and more powerful. But the dragons were careful who they trusted and who would ride them to fight an unknown evil. For if when they allowed anyone to ride them they were bonded with him in both body and soul.

And there was the Book of Legend. A book that all these beings protected because of the legends and secret kept within its pages. If this book was put into the wrong hands, hands only knowing evil, it would destroy the world everything in it.

This is where the story begins. A story of a young girl who never realized how special she was, how much her existence meant to the world, and to all creatures known and unknown. This girl was named, Oriana.

Born as an ordinary girl and to be adopted by the most powerful woman in the country, Oriana was sure that this was all she was going to be. An ordinary girl, who knew that that she wouldn't progress beyond her station. But this was the day that would change her life. This was the start of a legend to be born and an evil to be revealed.
