(Based on Generation One: Advent of the Goddess)
I just wanted to cry. This was the worst day of my life. My parents were arguing again over me. My father demanded that my piano lessons needed to be payed for. My mother would rather have the money for her boyfriend on the side.
As I listened to this pointless exchange of harsh words, I saw my face in the full length mirror in front of me. It turned out that tears were running from my emerald eyes. My ghost white skin was glowing slightly in the moonlight from my window. The red curls of my hair were tied into high pigtails.
I laid back on my bed. The fighting grew louder. It was the breaking point. Dad wanted Mom out of the house. She couldn't have agreed more. Doors slammed and a suitcase was being unzipped.
Goodbye Mother. You never cared about me anyways.
A knock came to my door. "It's open," I said quickly as I sat up. My father William walked in. His ginger hair was unruly and short. Tears filled his blue eyes. He sat beside me on the bed.
"Things are going to change for the better."
I sighed. "Things should have changed a long time ago. You knew about this boyfriend for half a year now. You should have kicked her out when you found out!"
He patted my head lightly. He was making me feel like a child. I'm seventeen years old, not four. "I know that. But, I love your mother. It kills me now to see her leave."
A flash of blonde hair ran past my open door. I cried even more. She wasn't even going to say farewell to me. And I was her only child.
We could hear the front door being opened and shut closed. That was it, she left us forever. More liquid poured from my father's eyes as he kissed my forehead. "We'll talk about this in the morning. Good night, sweetheart."
I gave him a half smile. "Night Dad."
He slowly walked away from my room and closed the door behind him. Poor thing. Mother was his entire world. And what did she do? She ripped his heart out and stabbed it with a butcher knife. Just like the heartless b***h I knew she was.
I located a plastic bag on my bed and pulled out a brown leather book with a strange orange knot on the front. I bought it earlier that day at the local bookstore out of impulse.
I opened it to the first page. Only one word appeared on the page: Mabinogi. What an interesting title. I turned the page. It was blank. I kept turning pages. They were all blank.
I couldn't believe this. Five bucks for a book with one word in it! I threw it across the room. As if my life couldn't get any worse.
I stomped over to my dresser and pulled out a black lace nightgown. I quickly undressed and slipped on the gown. I went over to my windowsill and sat. The moon was bright and full. It was beautiful.
I yawned. Sleep was getting the best of me. I jumped off the sill and went under the covers of my bed. I fell asleep so quickly...
I woke up in darkness. Funny, I didn't remember turning out my lights. A soft voice spoke to me. "It's time to head to Erinn. Prepare yourself."
"What!?" A light shined. I couldn't see anything except for black wings. I was surrounded by ebony feathers. And then, there was only darkness again.
