Prologue
My name is Lyndis. Lyn for short. I’m a six year old Moonshadow elf. This tale really starts with my parents. Their names are/were Laiex and Syndra. They came to the human lands from Xadia on the business of Zubeia the Dragon queen. While in the human lands, my mother found out that she was pregnant with me. They decided to remain hidden in the human lands until I grew old enough to make the journey to Xadia.
Naturally, that didn’t happen as we planned. Four years after my birth, my mother gave birth to twins. My brother and sister: Faelyn and Namys. I tried to be a good big sister to them. If only I was better. They’d all still be around if I was.
It all happed a little after my siblings were born. I was exploring just out of sight of my parents when I heard screams. I got there only to see my father lying dead in the grass. Someone killed him before disappearing. My mother and siblings were nowhere to be seen. I knew then that I was going to be on my own.
Enough about my past, though. This tale is about my present and future (yes, I still have a future). My name is Lyndis and this is my story.
