Prologue: A War Without End

I hear my feet patter on the ground as I run, I feel my heart race and breath getting faster and faster. He told me to run, to run as far as I could, saying that they were coming, they were coming for us. I wanted to stay and fight, but I knew, for the good of our people, I must run, I have to get her to safety.

I clutch her tighter in my arms as I increase speed, constantly looking over my shoulder for anyone hoping to find me. And soon my luck ran out, I find myself surrounded, by men in dark armor, some with tainted animals by their side. I know I must survive this, but I don't see a way out. Until I see a flash of gold in the fray, seeing a leopard with green eyes by my side, protecting me from the darkness, soon however she gets cornered, and I have to run alone.

I hear a small cry from inside the bundle in my arms, I try to get her to quiet down so we don't attract attention, but the time she finished, it was too late. I spy in the shadows a large black wolf, with eyes like freshly fallen snow. I clutch her close to my arms, fearing for both our lives, but I soon see on the ground, roots slowly crawling to subdue the wolf.

I turn to see Tellarun, another friendly face. He shouted for me to run, saying that the portal was close by. Composing myself I ran again, hearing the cries and the drums of war. I knew neither me nor my daughter would be safe here.

I saw the portal insight, thanking the great heron, I sprint towards it, just seeing in the corner of my eye, the damage this war has done to the land. I stop just a step away from the portal, to see a lieutenant running at me full speed, with me holding a stern face, and my daughter's hair flowing in the wind, I step into the portal.

I walk out of it, looking around at the city I now stand-in, and the place I shall soon call my home, and the home of my daughter, I turn back to see the portal has closed. Sighing I walk on, hoping to make a life here, for soon the prophecy shall be fulfilled. And Edelin will be safe again, safe for my Dawn.

A/N:

Hello,

Welcome to the first chapter of the Edelin Chronicles. This is my first book on the sight so a few things. And if you don't wanna read this then scroll past. But:

1. This may be my first book on this site, but my main account is my Wattpad account(@TheLonelyThespian). That is where I will mainly post announcements and updates on the books I'm writing and my life. So I will generally be quieter here than on Wattpad(though I am usually very quiet).

2. I have a few other books(again on Wattpad, though some are unpublished) so you are free to check out those books on my Wattpad and tell me what books you want me to add on here.

3. About the publishing schedule. I will post a chapter every Friday(hopefully earlier than when I post this chapter) until I run out of content(I have 21 chapters saved including the one published today). Then I will basically go underground for months at a time to write the next batch of chapters to publish, the time it takes me to write 10 chapters is about 4-5 months. And then I will publish the new chapters.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, please like this chapter, comment your opinion or some feedback for me as a writer, and follow if you haven't and I will see you next week.

Your Obedient Writer,

Alex, TheLonelyThespian.
