I'll be posting another story here seeing as people (seemed) to like tails of a wolf.
I hope everyone likes it.
Into the shadow
Prologue:
A old woman groaned as she got to her feet. The knocking at her door continued and she walked over to it.
Who's there? She asked tiredly.
A friend. Was the reply.
The old woman smiled and opened the door. A young woman walked into her house. She looked weary and sore, wearing dirty looking old cloths. She had a pretty face with long brown hair and green eyes. She looked to young to be so weary and looked as if she had a lifetime of experience behind her green eyes.
Its nice to see you Mina, I heard about Tyran... The young woman said sitting down by a small stone fireplace. The house was small, and made mostly of stone. There were many shelves full of books and old knives and such.
Soro! Mina exclaimed, her face loosing its tiredness. I haven't seen you in ages, how have you been?
Soro chuckled. Iv been fine, it looks the like years have been kinder to me than you.
Mina smiled at her friend. Well if I was blessed by magic I might look as young as you.
Mina sat down beside her friend and put a kettle over the fire. She sprinkled some herbs into the pot and sat back.
Why have you come Soro? Its good to see you again, but if anyone sees you... She trailed off.
No one will see me, and how could I not come? Tyran was a good friend of mine.
Mina's face saddened.
Its been two days, we are having a funeral in three days.
Mina, you know that's not the only reason I'm here.
Its about the book isn't it, no Soro I wont get rid of it.
Soro's face angered.
You cant keep it, our history is not met to be known.
You know I would never get rid of it, even more so now that Tyran's...
She trailed off.
I know you loved him Mina, he lived long, longer then we all thought he would. We all thought he would die in the war the way he attracted trouble, and arrows. Soro chuckled.
Soro, if you are sure its best to get rid of it I wont stop you. Mina said with a sigh, she suddenly looked a lot older. Just let me read it one more time.
We should both read it one last time. Soro agreed. Then I must track down Kentis to see about destroying the thing. What did Eli have to bind it with magic. Soro said sadly at the thought of her friend.
Well the tea is done, so lets get some tea and read this book for the final time.
Soro got up and walked over to a large shelf and pulled out an old looking book with a gold trimming that seemed to glow.
While Soro's back was turned Mina muttered to herself.
But our memory must live on, if not threw the book then threw the minds of humans.
