Whew. That Prologue though. If you liked it, you're in luck. Loki flashbacks at first chapter for each of the six parts of Revenge, except this one.
Edit featuring a very fierce Thea. I assure you, you'll see this picture again one day.
The start of each Part includes a short piece of writing. I'm pretty sure they're all going to be a Thea monologue.
Hope you like this one. I'm currently sitting in my school hallway, typing up Chapter One. It should be up tomorrow night. It's probably one of the most interesting Marvel-esque chapters I've written, and it's unusual because it directly targets something to do with the Marvel universe (it won't make it into the adaptation version, but I couldn't resist writing it). I don't want to give it away, but in the chapter, Thea starts off Revenge by talking with/confronting a pretty important character from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Any guesses as to who it'll be? ;) The chapter also starts Thea off pretty strong. So excited to write this "new" Thea.
Anyway.
I'm looking forward to writing Revenge more than any of the books, although I'm really depressed about the fact this is the last Blue Moon book.
Ready? :)

Part 1:Intro
There's an Arabian proverb that says, "Fate loves a rebel."
Some say that our fates are laid out for us when we're born. That they run through our veins and are passed onto our children from our ancestors. That they can't be changed, no matter how we try, because every time we try, that's just Fate intervening again. And Fate loves it when people rebel against her. It's like a game: how much can this little rebel fight against me until I change myself again?
What if one thing changed, one little miniscule thing in our lives? What if one acorn didn't fall from a tree because it refused to move, what if it forgot to rain one day? What if the sun forgot to rise or to set or to shine or to hide?
What if one person didn't die?
What if one person had?
What if it doesn't matter because Fate has it all in her hands, Fate, older than Light, older than Dark, older than Death. It was fated that Dark wouldn't be forever, and it was fated that God would create Light, just as it was fated that Cain would kill Abel and so Death would be born.
But. What if.
What if instead of Naolin, it was Neidra that had met her end from her spouse? What if Loki had fallen in love with her instead of the red-haired woman or instead of Annabelle Fossil? Certainly things to would be different.
For one thing, I wouldn't have been born.
What if Max hadn't died? What would have happened if Thor or Lifolas or Archer or Myrinea or Mansar or Leah or Mom, just one of them, hadn't died?
I'll tell you what wouldn't have happened.
If none of that had happened, my arms and legs wouldn't be this strong from swinging iron swords over and over, hitting against Loki's as he fought me over and over, even when he told me that I need to take a break. I'd refused to stop until sweat poured down my face, cuts were bleeding, and my muscles spazzed so much, I collapsed to the ground.
If none of that had happened, my fire wouldn't be so strong, it had burned down part of the Forest of Gor by accident. It wouldn't have burned so fiercely, even Rani's ice couldn't penetrate it at its strongest.
If none of that had happened, I couldn't have focused my mind enough to learn how to not only control and rage my fire, but to also learn to control the wind that howls in the night or the ice that can hide in the snow or the water deep in the lake.
Fate loves a rebel.
Maybe we can't fight it. But we'll never know, will we? So we might as well try.
But there's another proverb, this one Chinese, that I like better.
"When fate throws a dagger at you, there are only two ways to catch it.
By the blade.
Or.
By the handle."
