CHAPTERONE
Tia sighed as she ran her delicate fingers over the smooth surface of the scroll. Her eyes stared blankly at the intricate illustrations and the symbols carefully describing each legend. Her tiny, light green ears flickered back and forth at the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps drawing her out of her trance. She knew immediately who it was – her brother Tamblin.
She quickly rolled the scroll and hid it behind one of the colorful fabric tapestries she had hanging in her room. She didn’t want him to know that she had been writing down the stories of their people, at least not yet. He would be deeply concerned if he knew and become even more protective of her.
Tia closed her large brown eyes and drew in a deep breath in an effort to calm the fast beat of her heart. Every third beat, it would stop and she was terrified it would not start again. It was happening more often and lasting longer each time. She opened her eyes and forced a smile onto her face as her brother swept aside the long curtain door of her chambers.
“Tia, I have need of you,” Tamblin said in his deep, rich voice. “A creature has been captured at the entrance to our caverns. It is very large and strange-looking.”
Tia tilted her head and frowned. “Why do you need me? Surely you do not expect me to give you my permission to kill it?” she asked scornfully. “You have never bothered to ask me before!” she pointed out, reminding him of the few times when an unknown creature wandered into their domain only to be killed within moments by the Guardians of the Cavern, two large WereBeast with poisonous saliva and barb-like fur.
Tamblin glared at her before straightening his broad shoulders. Even though he stood no taller than twelve inches tall, he was still taller than most of the other inhabitants of Glitter. As their ruler, he guarded the kingdom and its populaces with a fierce protectiveness that Tia knew she should appreciate more. A soft sigh escaped her. With her, he tended to be three times more protective, rarely letting her travel anywhere alone.
“Tia,” he said, drawing in a deep breath to calm his frustration. “This creature is different from anything I have ever encountered before. The Guardians alerted us and we were able to render it unconscious before they attacked and killed it. As Keeper of the Stories, I thought it would be wise to seek your counsel first before I ordered it destroyed.” He paused a moment and his eyes softened as he studied her. “I do respect your guidance, sister.”
