Prologue Fala put on her long cloak and stepped out the door. The winter had begun. The long, bitter, and captivating winter was finally here. She had no idea, none, that this winter, she would not have the burden of serving the Winter Queen. "The Mistress of Frost" is what they called her. They of course, were the Symbols...never to be disturbed again. Never to be tormented by the wolves. The wolves are the guards that haunted the very forest we dwell in. Unseen to the human eye for as long as they have had the privilege. They are the minions to this bitter queen. Fala looked to the sky...no more battleships. No more watch-birds. "Never again", Fala said to the doorman. "I know the feeling", he replied. He has always been loyal, and why he has been confined to this grotesque body I have always questioned. Maybe this is just the way she left her mark. The winter queen I mean. Even though she is now inside the liquid sunshine statue. Since the doorman was one of the only people that stood alone beside me in oppose to this senseless war, she punished him. Why was she so upset you ask? Well because he helped Shelyn do it. But at least she isn't alive to see the horrible aftermath that the Mistress of Frost had left behind. Her gravestone sits alone. In her honor, and also as she wished, it is away. Away from all the Symbols so that they will never fear her again.
This is the prologue to the book that I am starting to write. The name is Shivering Roots. IT is a story about an orphan girl that finds out that she is switching orphanidges. The bad thing is that she has no idea what is lurking in the forest around her new orphanidge. And that she is the new target.
