Conquest Journey to Sejefrom

Prologue

“Don’t worry we will be home sooner than you know it” said a woman with long blond hair as she squeezed her daughter close. Then a man with black long hair tied up in a pony tail spoke to the man much younger than he was standing behind the little girl.

“Thanks for taking care of Jenora for us Sheldon”

“Just don’t get your self killed ok, you know how father would feel if he found out his eldest son had been killed.”

“Don’t worry like my wife said we will be home soon” after he said that he knelt near his daughter and took his hand and gently stroked her cheek.

“You be good for your uncle okay Jenora.” The man said

“Yes daddy.” The little girl then leaped into her father's arms and wrapped her arms around her father and squeezed him tightly then let him go. She could feel tears starting to swell up in her eyes. She was only three years old and her parents were already leaving her to fight in the war that had been going on ever since that Taran guy was banished from the kingdom by the king. It was night time and one of the kings guards were waiting for them so he can get them safely to the battle field. A cold chill blew into the doorway where the little girl and her uncle were standing. The little girl shivered and her uncle put her small blanket around her as they both watched her parents ride off on two horses with a small dust cloud following behind them. After they had gone her uncle picked her up and took her inside to bed.

“Don’t worry Jenora they’ll be home sooner than you know it” her uncle reassured her not noticing that Jenora was fast asleep on his shoulder. When he looked over he smiled and then gently placed her on the bed and tucked her in.

Months went by and before long Jenora and her uncle were celebrating her fourth birthday. Sheldon had no idea how to raise a kid or let alone what to get for one. It was a good thing he was going to town maybe he could get her something there but what. The next morning he got up and left to go find her a gift. When he got there he happen to notice small tamed wolf pups on sale so he went over and bought the smallest one of the bunch.

“Would you like a falcon to I have be trying to give him away but couldn’t seem to find the right owner” said the man that was selling the puppies

“How much do you want for it?” Sheldon asked

“He is free of charge” the owner replied

Sheldon bought the puppy and went home with a falcon and a baby wolf pup. Once he got home he quitely snuck into his home and sat down on his old broken down sofa. He couldn’t wait for his neice to wake up and was hoping she would enjoy the gifts he got her. As he sat there waiting there was a light knock.

“Who could that be?” he mumbled to himself as he put down the pup and grudgingly walked over to the door.

When he opened the door he saw one of his father’s soldiers standing outside. The man looked slightly wounded and seemed very exhausted.

“What happened? Why are you so far away from the battle field?” Sheldon asked

“H-He got them” said the soldier

“Got who?”

“Your brother and his wife”

After he said that Sheldon could feel a since of shock hit him head on. Tears started to swell up in his eyes. He thanked the soldier and offered him to stay till he got better. Then he left to wake Jenora and let the poor girl know what had happened. When he told her she looked up at him like a lost puppy he then squeezed her tightly and let her know that everything was going to be alright.

“I went to town and got you something” her uncle said trying to lighten the mood

“What?” Jenora asked as she tried to hold back her tears

“Come to the front room and I will show you”

“Okay”

They both left into the front room where the small wolf pup and the falcon were waiting for them.

“Are they for me?” Jenora said in excitement as she looked up at her uncle with a smile.

“Yep. Happy Jenora”

She then ran over to the pup, picked it up and started petting it. She then named it Mia and the Falcon Carlos. Her uncle smiled as he saw Jenora happily play with her new pets, though he couldn’t help feeling sorry for his niece and he was surprised to see her get so happy so quickly.

“That’s my niece. Strong and tough like her parents.” he whispered to himself. He then went over and joined his niece in the celebration.
