looooooooooooooooooooooooove it! make her meet the company.

excellent beginning to two of my most favorite story's

So this is where she began! I began reading "Light Fingers", and am now following "Elladaniel". The thing I like most about all of your writing is the reality. I can see and feel, hear, even smell what your people do. It is good to know when reading this despairing beginning that you have brighter days ahead for her.

This is an excellent piece of writing! I'm so glad that you took some time to bring the back story to center tone and cadence of this little piece melds perfectly with the larger story. May your Muse continue to bless you with such engaging nuggets!

Horrifying and yet a realistic prologue to such a marvelous tale. Well done!

It's sad that Ivoreth judges herself so harshly. This whole story was sad, but it really lays the background for her actions in your other stories. Nice writing.
