Ro swallowed, "That's because I'm afraid."

Accompanied by a Halfling, Arik, she endures the creatures of the realm and the Fairies that are after her or at least the woman that she resembles. Ro must do all that she can to not only survive the Fairy Realm, but to make it back to her own before it's too late for her grandmother.

Fated-The Cristalline Chronicles Book I
Mist started surrounding me and with horror I saw the colour of the river changing to red. Moving closer, I realised it wasn't colour, it was blood. Swiftly, I tried to make my way to the Castle but the forest was endless and I was somehow, powerless. So I ran, with everything I had. On reaching the gates of the Castel, all I could see were remains of soldiers and some students. And a lone figure standing amidst all this, back facing towards me. A shiver ran down my spin. The mist had now covered the forest completely and was covering on the Castel. Suddenly the figure vanished, I looked around in an attempt to spot it back but all in vain. Just as I was about to give up, goosebumps ran on the back of my neck. Before I could turn, my hands were pinned to my back in a vice grip. My attempts to free myself stopped when I looked into a pair of red eyes. There was something familiar about them but before I could come to any conclusions, everything around me darkened and I felt myself falling. ---------------------------------------------------------- Arianna, Creation of Fate, is all set to step into her new life; molded for what is to come but when she senses something eerie in the air of Cristalline, the most protected of all the realms, she isn't sure anymore if she really is ready for what the future has in store for her.
