Risen

The only parts I remember were the screams and the smell of burning flesh. One moment, I was crouching down near my favorite apple tree trying to get the ball of yarn that rolled under the largest branch and the next moment, everything was up in flames.

There was no noise or loud boom. It was just from the snap of a moment, everything around me crumbled to ashes.

Lillian has been an abnormality all her life. She never quite fit in anywhere, be it because of her particular memory loss or her unnatural ability to lead. She was born a normal little girl but everything changed when the Invasion began. Some people call it a freak accident and others call it a message from the Gods. Whatever it was, it wiped out cities of people until all that was left was a mysterious supernatural iron army that couldn't die and handfuls of refugees setting up camp over blackened hills of land.

This was her normal now. Or atleast she though it was, until Andrew showed up, beaten and bruised at her door step. His arrival changed everything. He helped her remember her past, control her present and define her future.

It all started with a simple fairytale of magic and wizards.
