~Shadowed~
Prologue
A young girl lay by a fire. Wind tussling at her hair and the fire. She rolled over in her sleep, her dreams apparently unwanted. The light of the fire revealed a light sheen of sweat had collected upon her brow. Shadows lingered at the edges of the clearing.
With a jolt the girl awoke. Her cerulean eyes shone with a wild fear. Her red hair covering apart of her face as she pressed a hand against her chest where her heart was located as if trying to stop its erratic beating. She panted heavily as she leaned forward gathering her wits about her.
A slow couple of minutes later she sat up and brushed her hair out of her face. A scowl coming to her. “Why can’t these memories leave me alone,” she muttered under her breath. She let out a soft growl as she pulled her hair back into a low ponytail.
The fire danced, casting shadows over her face. She tilted herself forward causing her bangs to cover her eyes as a memory began to surface that she knew was not her own.
With surprising reluctance she shoved it out of her mind. Now was not the time to be remembering such things. Especially since they were someone else’s memories.
Taking people’s memories was a curse that she had been given upon her third year of life. A sorceress had come to her cradle and asked her if she wanted knowledge. Being the child she was she had only nodded because she wanted to know what things did and how they operated.
Her child-like curiosity had never disappeared when she grew up. Even the phrase ‘Curiosity killed the cat’ hadn’t deterred her thrust for knowledge. Look where her curiosity had gotten her though. Out all alone in the forest, with no money and hardly any possessions besides the clothes on her back.
The shadows shifted as she grabbed her weapons and slipped them onto her person. She quickly put out the fire and scattered the ashes erasing all traces of her being there. With that the girl disappeared into the night’s darkness.
