The Darkness Begins
A young girl with jet black hair walked in the undergrowth, but staying within the shadows. She drew her yew bow and crouched near a glade of trees, and nocked an arrow. She looked around, bright green eyes flashing, and spotted a male deer in a clearing. She drew up her bow, and just as she shot, a explosion disturbed the quiet night. She flew back with a “Huff!” and fell on her back. She got up and saw the deer had disappeared. Blast it! She thought in disgust. Then she turned her piercing gaze to the clearing. There, in the middle, was a shining blue crystal. It was in the shape of a teardrop, and, strangely, it had a hole trough the top as though it was meant to be strung on a piece of thread. She picked up a long stick and poked the crystal. Nothing happened. She cautiously walked over to the crystal and picked it up. It was cool and light. Aryl took out a piece of string. It was simple, made out of sinew. She strung the gem on the piece of string, and put it on.
