Feather

Prologue

"Father, look at what you have become due to this mess! You can't let Jev lead. This isn't right!" My brother, Roy talks to my dad for the thousandth time. I sigh in frustration, looking over at him.

"Jev, you have to accept the fact that this group will bring more than just danger. It will bring the loss of hope." Roy finishes.

I glance away from him. He is standing next to me with a concerned look on his face. His deep grey eyes hold something unhappy in them; the loss of being a favorite son to my dead mother.

"You aren't my savior, Roy. This will do both of us some good, and you know it. We will start off with dad's plans, and then add the ones we reviewed with him." I pause. "Raven isn't just our last name, you know."

"Whatever," he murmurs, putting his mask back on with a glare and leaving the room.

"Roy isn't trying to be your savior, you know. He cares about you a lot." My dad's tired and worn out voice speaks out from beside me. He sounds beaten, like his soul is being torn from him.. He must only have a couple days left, as it is.

"Lena was always in my favour, and I wanted you away from her. She claims her daughter is losing herself in something terrible. Just keep her safe. J-just do what you mus-." He tries to chatter on, but fails.

I look deep into my father's eyes as tears well up in mine.

"Father," I barely whisper, falling to my knees, gripping his hand.

"Come on, Jev. We have to go." Roy's voice fills the room. I hold the tears back. I am the Raven's leader now. I must do what I said I would, and carry on the promise. Soon, the world will fall, and with each word I breathe out another city will break. No one will have the faith to think of anything else, but me, while I rule.

I place my gleaming blue Raven mask on. Looking through the openings of the mask, I turn to my brother and nod. He isn't doing any better than I am, but we have to leave. I place my right hand in my pocket, where the treaty lies.

"Alright," I murmur, "Let's go."

okay so, what do you think so far

Okay guys if I have something misspelled or a grammar errors it's because it's either I have been in a hurry and not looking carefully enough or my editor and me must have missed it. The only way it's going to be grammar error and mistake free is if I get a real job paying editor, so please don't comment on how much grammar and punctuation I have wrong, and just tell me what I misspelled or missed thanks you :)
