Several years ago in the time of evil dragon, brave knights and beautiful maidens. Things are different than they look. Were the dragons really evil? Were the knights always brave? And did the maidens always look breathtaking? In this story I will take you on a journey through this time and show you the truth which is long forgotten by telling you the story of Jacob and Roselyn.

High above a forest flew a majestic eagle scrutinizing the land below searching for a prey. As the bird circled around he got hit by an arrow and dropped to the ground below.

"Wonderful shot Mylady." A short man with a wrinkled face and almost white hair said. "But that was your Uncle's favorite bird."

A seventeen old girl going eighteen with beautiful golden hair and a beautiful face turned around and had a gentle smile on her face.

"Have no worries Giles a bird more or less in my uncle's collection. Is something he will not notice. He does not leave the mansion much nowadays. It will be our little secret." She said as she placed her finger in front of her lips in a playful manner.

"We better go back to the mansion." Giles said as he looked to the sky. "it is getting dark and your eighteen birthday is tomorrow."

"Off course Giles just wait a moment I am going to get my trophy." The girl said.

"Okay but hurry up Roselyn I want to be inside before the sky darkens." He shouted at the running girl.

She returned not much later with the bird in her hand. She placed it in a bag on her horse and they Galloped back to the mansion.

As they arrived at the mansion they were greeted by one of the lackeys.

"Welcome back Mylady. Did you have a pleasant hunt?"

Rose had gotten of the horse and handed the reins to Giles who led the horses to their stable.

"yes. Lorrick it was a nice hunt. Could you bring this to the kitchen for me." Roselyn said as she handed the bag with the bird in it to Lorrick.

Lorrick made a face and took the bag between two fingers holding it as far as possible from himself.

" of course Mylady….Oh. and before I forget, your Uncle asked me if I could ask if you could meet him. He is in the library." After this Lorrick went to the kitchen.

As Roselyn went to the library she was greeted by her uncle.

"Aahh… Roselyn my favorite niece." He said.

"Hard not to be your Favorite niece. Seeing I am only one that is left."

Her uncle shivered at this.

"You know I am not the one who caused the death of your sister. Yet you treat like I am the one."

Roselyn sighed. "I know but it is hard for me I grew up with her she was sister we shared everything. Why did my parents take her with them but left me here."

"Roselyn. I know your still mourning about the death of your parents and sister so am I. But after tomorrow you will be able to get your revenge." He said.

"How will I be able to do that?"

"I send out several guards to find the dragon who killed your parents and sister. They send me a letter they found the dragon after tomorrow you will be heading north to face this dragon and bring me his hide."

Rose mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide open.

"You are not joking with me. I finally get to hunt down a dragon."

Her uncle smiled. "Happy birthday Roselyn."

Roselyn was in a great mood the whole day un till she entered her bedroom.

On the biggest wall was a painting displaying her parents and her sister who died three years prior. The painting was made a week before they left. She instantly felt like crying as she saw the painting.

"Mother, Father, my sister. The day after tomorrow I will leave the mansion and hunt down the dragon that killed you. I will avenge your deaths and make sure no other human gets hurt ever again by that beast." She said with tears flowing from her eyes.

She touched the faces on the painting one by one and went to bed.

End of prologue

Something I thought of when I was watching a movie. This is kind of a story next to the sequel to Chance of exposure (for the people who read it the sequel is also being written) I hope you liked the prologue and that I sparked your interest.
