Fall of the Phoenix

Prologue

Inside the Empire

"Zara, what is the sight telling you?" Zara's father, Dimitri questioned. Zara's forehead was wrinkled with concentration and her teeth were gritted. Her face did not waver from the same milky white skin and blonde hair. She wore a plain white dress that stood out from the rich colours of the room. Her eyes were pressed closed. Dimitri started pacing back and forward across the room, fiddling with the cuffs of his polished black suit. Drips of sweat ran down her forehead. Her knuckles where white and her nails dug deep into the leather chair. She screamed. The noise filled the entirety of the small study that they were in. There was woven carpets on the floors and expensive paintings lined the walls. "Zara, you must tell me! Get through the dimention barriers. I need this information!" Zara opened her eyes, snapping them up to meet Dimitri's cold ones. She was breathing heavily. "She's coming", she panthed, looking him in the eye. His eyes widened slightly, knowing exacly what she meant."What do you mean that "she" is coming?" Dimitri demanded, slamming his fists down on his mahogany desk.

"Your daughter, father, Aless is coming to our dimention."
