The History of Lady Vampyre Rosewoode Cara deForest, Princess of Misty Portal

By The Creator 1

'''Long, long time ago before the world was made; I was given the opportunity to create a world. I was very happy to do so. After all I was young and full of ideas of how to make and run a world. One thing I was positive of was that once a world was put in orbit and all was created, all that was needed was a rare checking in. Humans are smart and can govern themselves.'''



'''I set out to prove my point and created a world. I made many species including humans. Many races that I was sure would be able to live peacefully with. I created wells of magic to be drawn upon. I then left the planet alone to survive on its own. After a few centuries, I check back on the world. It was in chaos! I had to solve many problems and get the world back to a healthy state. I looked for a few really good people to help me with the jobs that were needed to be done. While I was searching for these people, I closed the wells of magic for they were nearly depleted. I then made a channel to a central well in the center of some mountains. I made a sanctuary for the magic beings. Buildings were erected, roads made, land made ready for livestock and crops. Once this was done I selected a few people to do a service for me. I came to them in a dream as a beautiful lady.'''



'''“I come to you as a goddess that needs help from you. Gather up your people that will be loyal to you and to my cause. I need for you leave your homes and make a new place your home. I have made a new place for you. The magic is dying to over use. Everyone is misusing the magic to do things that can easily be done by hand or by animal. The magic wells need to be replenished which will take time. Take your people to the edge of the desert and there will be someone to guide you to your new home. Take anyone that asks you with you. Give everyone chores to do. Teach the young of my ways which will be given to you once you reach the desert.”'''



In another dream which I gave to some monks and nuns.



'''“I come to you in the time of need. I need to have you to guide my people to their new home of which I have ready for them. I want you to teach them my ways of the world. In return, I have set up a Temple for my people. Each may worship one or all as they chose. But they must come to the Temple at least monthly and give their tithe of 10th part or 10 % of their wages, animals, crops and what they make. I will teach you as you travel to the dessert. Each night will be a dream of a subject for you to teach. I'll give each of you a special endless tablet to keep. There will be more of these tablets in the temples to be used for the teaching of the people. The people may worship the deity of their choice between Nature, Time, Harvest, Animals, Magic, Science, Music, and Medicine. Perhaps others as I see the need. Make your preparations now and go forth to the desert.”'''



'''And so they did and I taught them the way that people should treat each other and take care of the Earth. They arrived at the designated spot in the dessert and waited for my people to come.'''



'''Soon the chosen people began to move to the desert where I had a set of monks and nuns waiting. Before long the caravan was moving to my chosen place. It was a journey of many days so that once they arrived, they would be eager to settle down and do as they should. I began to keep a good check on them as I should have. But once I left them for a hundred years......Again it was Chaos. People were no longer doing as they should. They did not come to the Temple nor did they give their Tithes. I had to step in once again. I went to the Monks and Nuns. I told them that I will provide the means of making special bracelets to keep track of people. If they willingly came at least 1 day out of the month, they would prosper. Otherwise, they will become unsuccessful and I will not be forgiving of them until they gave 50% of what they had left. Then they would need to make amends with me and attend the Temple weekly. It was done and soon people came for their bracelet and began visit the Temple once again. All was well for a while.'''



<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Then came the time where the people became too smart for their own good and began to do evil with their powers. Black Magic or Negative Magic, was born. The 7 Sins were born. All sorts of cruelty were formed from slavery to people beating each with whips. I gave up on mankind. I left them on their own to destroy themselves but I watched them and took notes of the happenings. I had 2 particular families that had a child that was full of Positive and Negative Magic. Very rare trait for then it would give that person much more power over the rest.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Life history of Rosewoode Cara deForest

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Chapter 1: ‘It was the best of times’, it was the worst of times’

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">‘'''It was the best of times’, it was the worst of times’ as the saying goes. I am The Creator of the world that you are about to enter into. A magnificent world full of magic and wonder. A world that I have high hopes of- for this other world has turned so evil that I cannot and will not help.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''However in this world there are two great families. Each family has positive and negative magics running through their veins. One family by the name of deForest used their magic for evil while the other family by the name of Zollinger used their magic for the greater good. The families each had one son born nearly at the same time in two different cities. I kept watch over these two sons to see if one of them could somehow change the world for the better. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Years passed and the two young men were accepted into the same magic university at the same time. Brian deForest was very sneaky and underhanded while Zadicus Zollinger was a hard worker and a role model to all who knew him. . Brian deForest loved the Dark Magic which was forbidden for anyone to use. He found the Forbidden Magic while cleaning the storage rooms which had the old books hidden in it. He devoured the information at night and his regular classes during the day with the use of Druid's Sleep. Zadicus Zollinger was the one who I favored for it was he that did what he could do for the common people. The two young men were competitors all the way thru their schooling.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''When it was time for graduation, both were exactly the same score so a Wizard's Duel was ordered but not to the death of one. They kept neck in neck with each other for three nonstop days. Both were sorely bruised and tired. Then deForest did what he should not have done. He used the Forbidden Magic. The Duel was called to halt at once and deForest was disqualified and formally kicked out of the Academy without a degree. deForest cursed the school but I repelled the curse. He left to unknown territory. Zollinger was given the top honors and the Head of the Magic department of a new town.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''For many good years things went well. Zollinger married a young lady named Merriweather. They had a daughter right away. The named her Kathlyne Joy. She was the apple of her mother's eye. Zollinger was happy and very busy keeping the town running. Around about 10 years later, the people were having a very bad time. After a while they came to Zollinger to solve their problems. He couldn't of course because he didn't realize the true cause of the situation. Later on it was discovered that deForest had laid a curse on the town where Zollinger was.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Meanwhile, deForest was doing well. He was married and had started his own family. He was gaining in the popularity of the peoples. Particularly of the town where Zollinger was the Head of Magic. Soon people began to think that Zollinger should leave. A mob was formed and Zollinger had to escape. But fortunately for him I sent a dream that told him of the events. He was prepared to leave. He put his wife and daughter in a deep sleep then left the town under cover. He traveled many days and his family did not like it that he left their staff behind and most of their belongings. He just ignored them for now he knew that he did the wrong thing. He had let his wife and daughter has whatever they wanted and now both are spoiled to the core. Once she reached his destination, Zollinger built his wife and daughter a beautiful home. He never lived in that home for he built himself a small cottage so he could have peace and quiet from their nagging.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Since they could not get into the cottage and he wouldn't come out of the cottage though people claimed to have seen him from time to time. The bills came in but he only gave his wife just so much money to do with as she saw fit. Merriweather did not pay her bills on time and soon enough she didn't pay them at all. He did not raise her income so she had to work to pay off her debts. She kept her job even though she got out of debt. She began to get things that she wanted once again. Her daughter was being spoiled once again'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''After Kathlyne turned 16, she was to jump her bon fire with a young man or 2. She had the fanciest dress of all of the girls and was wondering which of the young men she should allow to jump with her. After all she could only marry one of them. She worried and fussed until the night of the Midsummer's Eve Bon Fire. She had her small bon fire a ways from the other girls because she felt that she was the special young woman of the night. As the dusk set, one by one of the girls came out and lit their own bon fire while the parents sat in a ring outside of the bon fires to watch who would pair up with who. That year there were 7 males and 5 females so there was certainly enough males for each of the females. The females can only jump the fires once. The males could jump the fires 5 years in a row or until they marry.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''There was music, food, drinks and fun for all except Zadicus. He had looked into the future that very morning to see what might happen then tried to reason with Kathlyne of her foolish ideas of being so far away. She would not have anything to do with moving her bon fire in spite of his warnings. He still held out just in case but when he saw that Kathlyne had not moved her bon fire, he could hardly keep control so he left, knowing full well what would happen. But as in the case of looking into the future, the unexpected does and did happen.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''The girls were lightly jumping over the fires and the males talked and laughed about which one would be the better wife. None even walked towards a certain lonely fire where a girl jumped by herself as the other girls had at least one jumping with her. In fact 3 of them had 2 males jumping with them! In that case the girl would choose her mate by putting her hand into his and lead him off into the woods so that he could have his way with her.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Kathlyne was about to give up when a young man lightly jumped her bon fire with her. Her eyes showed her surprise and nearly stumbled if she hadn't grabbed his hand. After a few jumps, they ran off into the woods where the young man had prepared a sacrificial stone where he would take her virginity at. There a small pond and waterfalls nearby. And he did with the utmost care. He attended her with love and care and lavished the best smelling lotions after wards. They slept together in a cave under the waterfalls. In the morning, he walked her to where her bon fire ashes was and vanished as the sun climbed high into the sky. She went to the priest and told him of her night's adventures. He laughed in her face for he had rounded up the ones who did not get selected that night. He wouldn't believe.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''She told every one of her adventures but none would believe except her parents. Zadicus looked into the past and saw someone but it was so vague that he knew it had to be someone with strong magic. He left that very day to search for the one who took his daughter's virginity away.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''While the things were happening there, in a dark gloomy place far away, the young man had gone home to see the furious face of his father. His father saw the traces of a virgin female on a virgin male. His son had disobeyed him! For punishment he put his son in a bare cell that was to be kept locked at all times unless he was with the guard. The cell was a 6 by 8 foot cell with a commode, a table, a keg of water, a metal cup and a bed. The cell was inside another cell and yet in a third cell. The father kept the keys. The father was none other than Brian deForest, Zadicus Zollinger's rival and worst enemy.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Back in the village people talked about Kathlyne and her mother behind their backs and soon no one had time to visit or chat. They were needed elsewhere always. They could no longer do any bartering either. Merriweather began to fuss about what will they eat and started to eat next to nothing. Kathlyne however was hungry all of the time. Months passed and no sign of Zadicus. Merriweather began to do some fishing and gardening so they could have something to eat. The priest kept an eye on Kathlyne just in case she began to look pregnant.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''After 6 months and 3 weeks from that fateful day, the priest came with the doctor. He was allowed in for Merriweather had no suspicions and was happy to have someone finally come to their senses.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Once the priest told her why he was there, she was ready to throw him out of her house. Kathlyne already told him that a man had his way with her! But no one would listen. The priest gave them one month to come up with the father or else. It had a hideous sound behind his voice and his eyes went to the pregnant female as he licked his lips. He had thoughts of wedding the girl himself. Of course it would be for the baby's sake. No one after all wanted a bastard child!'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Weeks passed and no sign of a father. The priest came to the mother with several strong men. He asked after Kathlyne's health, then if the father had come forward or sent a letter then he told her if she didn't want to be beaten daily, she would have to consent to his wishes and marry him before the child was born. Kathlyne said no and never would she give in to him. Only to the father.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''He asked many more questions about the father and found out that she only laid with him once, didn't know his name nor where he lived. She didn't even remembered when he left her that night. The priest shook his head sadly before declaring her fate. Since she knew nothing of the father, the father could be Lucifer himself! He would make sure that the baby did not survive. He had here roughly handled and her hands tied behind her back while her mother screamed for mercy on the poor child for she must have been moon crazed that fateful night! Nothing would do but to take her to the public square where she was stripped down and paraded about. The priest talking all of the time about her sins and how she was pregnant! And not one morning of sickness to boot. He slapped Kathlyne's stomach hard to show it was not fat but all baby. It left a red hand print for all to see. She was then taken to a pole and her hands were tied up above her head and her feet to pegs in the ground. The mother was put in cage, weeping and wailing. Kathlyne's back was to the villagers’ who watched in glee while she was whipped with a leather belt. She was left there for the rest of the day. At night, Kathlyne was put in a glass cell with barely enough room for a bed and standing room for 4 people. Her mother was allowed to feed her and bathe her but not to talk at all. For the next 4 weeks, this happened. And every day, Kathlyne was healed overnight thought the guards, the priest and any villager that wanted to watch her sleep naked on a hard mattress.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''In the meantime, Zadicus hunted down deForrest until he finally found him. He had a long argument with him. Finally, deForest took Zadicus to his son who was still in the jail cell. When they entered, the son stood up and came to the door.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''Good day to you both, fathers. I do hope that you know that your daughter is being beaten right at this very minute, father Zadicus.” Dermot spoke in a sad voice.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''I go to her every night and heal her but I am getting weary of the trip. Yes, dearest father deForest. I have inherited your ability of walking out of locked doors.”'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Zadicus exploded as he teleported to the village. He saw that no one was around and he went to where they kept prisoners. Sure enough, his daughter was in labor and the villagers had tied her into a chair without a back and a hold at the seat so the baby would fall into a bucket of nails which were pointed upwards. Zadicus slit the ropes before anyone could see him. He spoke severely to them all and scolded them into submission. His wife had gone into hysterics and was acting as if she was a zombie with wild look in her large eyes. His exact words were as follows:'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''As much as I hated this village for some reason, and now I know, I have kept every one of you supplied with riches. The sea gave up plenty of the fish, pearls and other things. Your crops never withered for I had the rains came when the crops needed rain, the sun when the crops needed the sun. But no more will I stay here and be so humiliated in my life! You have beaten this poor child for how long? She could not tell anyone what she knew because of a spell. Her husband came to her every night but he could not take her home for the fear of his father! My longtime rival and enemy that I thought I had out run. He will find me and mine gone but you will suffer his wrath!”'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''A loud scream was heard and Zadicus turned his head to see the baby crowning and Dermot walking in thru a hole in the wall. Dermot simply wave his hands in a weaving pattern and all were frozen in time except Kathlyne. He assisted his wife with their own first born, a girl. He placed the baby girl on the mother's chest while he cut the cord to separate the two. He then took his cloak off and gently wrapped the tiny girl in the cloak which shrank to fit her nicely. He then took a necklace and placed it around the baby's throat. HE let Kathlyne have one last look before he gave the baby to Zadicus with this warning.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''I place our baby girl, Rosewoode Cara deForest, in your arms. I bid you to take extremely good care of her until I can return for her one day.. I will try to heal Kathlyne once more but I am not sure if it is possible.” He then turned to the villagers'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''To each and every one of you, your first born shall surely die by the morn if I cannot save Kathlyne. This curse I give to each of you and to your descendants 77 generations down the line. All the first born will die unless I can save my wife.”'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Dermot turned to Zadicus.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''They shall be frozen till day break. And the village will be sealed for 16 years. Be sure to be gone before day break or you will be stuck here for the nest 16 years.”'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''With that said Dermot gently picked up the dying Kathlyne into his arms and walked thru the portal door not to ever set foot in that village ever again. He left one last sign that he was there once. A blacken hole about a foot deep was set into the wall and could not ever be covered up.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Zadicus hurriedly, put the new born baby in a basket. He teleported their main belongings into a gypsy caravan then set Merriweather inside for he knew that she would not awaken until the morning light hit her face. He left within the hour and did not look back nor did he leave anything in exchange for the wagon and the two fine horses.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Chapter 2: Zadicus takes charge in more ways than one….. Zadicus is now speaking'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I hurried the horses at the fastest pace as I could without killing them. Or tipping the wagon. I knew that I was fleeing for not only my life but the life of Merriweather and of the baby Rosewoode. The full moon shone brightly down on the wagon as it moved thru the night and into the morning hours when the two horses were overly tired. I knew then that I had to find a good resting spot for the day and night. I would travel onwards the next day after Merriweather was ok and the baby was taken care of.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I pulled the wagon off the road down an old path to where there was an old cottage. I unhitched the horses and put them in the vacated barn. After rubbing them down good, I went to the back of the wagon and opened up the windows to let the sunshine in. It fell on Merriweather's face but she did not stir. In fact, she had not moved a muscle since I had put her on the floor before leaving the village. I looked at the baby and she smiled up at me from the cloak which she was swaddled in. I didn't know what to do with a baby! Maybe it would be similar to taking care of a bay animal?'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I took the cloak off of Rosewoode and it was still dry somehow. I put her back down in the cloak for I didn't have a clue of what to put on her. I went outside to find something to milk. There was a mother goat with a kid. I was wondering how to feed Rosewoode since I didn't have a bottle. Upon seeing the kid suckle, I decided that once wouldn't hurt Rosewoode to suckle from a goat. I brought her out into the sunshine and the mother goat was laying in the grass. I laid Rosewoode near the mother's teats so that it would reach her mouth. I gently tugged on the teat to get the milk starting and Rosewoode did the rest. The mother goat didn't seem to mind at all. Such an unusual state of things I'd be the first to admit but it worked much to my surprise. The kid didn't mind either for it helped itself to more of it's mother's milk before running off to play. I sat there watching Rosewoode suckle and thinking why Merriweather didn’t wake up.... From what I figured out, she should have woken up at sunrise like the rest of the villagers would. But wait! I took her out of the village and she was put to sleep in the village. What will happen if she never wakes up because I took her out of the village? Well, I couldn't leave Merriweather there that was for sure. She would die by the hands of the villagers once they knew of their plight. The only person who I knew that knew about curses and hexes were Mim.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''My sister was a sour person but still had a fair heart. She had a hard life with her husband who left her. He even took the infant which I believe killed all of the love that was left in her heart. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Mim was in her garden when I arrived. I hurried to her with Rosewoode in my arms. Mim continued to work in the garden as I explained what had happened. She stood up slowly when I was finished speaking. She spoke quietly and firmly to bring Merriweather and Rosewoode into the house. Once I had them inside, I saw that Mom had a bottle of warm goat’s milk for Rosewoode to drink. I didn’t say anything for I knew that Mom was thinking deep thoughts at the time. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Finally Mim turned to me and spoke the awful truth that I feared. Since I took Merriweather out of the village, I doomed her to sleep forever or until she died. I nearly went into shock but Mim would not have any of that ‘nonsense’. We had to prepare for a journey even if Merriweather died. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Merriweather died two weeks later even though both Mim and I tried to get her to drink and eat. By then I had upgraded the wagon into a small house on wheels per Mim’s instructions. All that was left to do was to cremate Merriweather. I took the wagon to the road and waited for Mim to join me. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''We traveled for several weeks to a new location. We hacked our way into the woods.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''In those woods, Mim and I raised the baby to toddlerhood. One of us watching over her than the other one kept an eye an on her. It wasn’t easy but well worth the time that I took off on my shift. She was a very energetic baby and loved to do new things constantly. She grew rapidly and was walking early- by the time she was 7 months old…… Then we had to keep a very close eye on her and made a special room where she could play and sleep as she wished. Before I knew it, Rosewoode had her third birthday and could no longer be contained in her room. I wanted to continue my studies without interruption as did Mim. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Mom reminded me over and over who brought Rosewoode into whose quiet life. We ended up in a wizard’s duel but not to the death. To make a long battle short, Mim won the battle and she was given full control over Rosewoode’s education. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''When we looked in on Rosewoode who was suppose to be in her room but was not. We split up and hunted for her. We finally found her in a tree and looked like a cross between a kitten and a kangaroo! She a cat tail and ears but a pouch like a kangaroo. Rosewoode never heard of a kangaroo or any other pouched animal, yet she made one on her stomach.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Suddenly there was a bright light and a fairy was seen. A very angry fairy that spoke in a simple and knowing way. This is what she said and I shall remember it to my dying day.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''You two morons don’t have the brains to keep an intelligent child out of harm’s way. If it was not for me posing a bird and watching over her, she would have been lost a year ago. Now that you have settled your disagreement of who is in charge of Rosewoode’s education, I will tell you who is in charge of it. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''She will live in your home at night but I shall teach her the fundamentals of my world. Neither of you know how to shape shift, teleport or many other things and don’t speak about knowing how to do so because if you can’t show her how to change back or teleport down from the tree, how would you teach how to properly transform herself or teleport? She knows more of those two things than both of you together! “'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Indeed this fairy was someone that I should know….. then it came to my mind that this was Rosewoode’s other grandmother! Fiona was her name and she would not tell anyone of her last name for it was very sacred to her. We decided that in this case, Fiona would be the best teacher and both of us could return back to our own studies.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Chapter 3- Mim’s view of the situation

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I was quite taken back when that fool brother of mine brought his even foolisher wife and his grandchild to me. I was very angry after a few minutes for he promised me that he would never tell of my where about and now he brought his wife and granddaughter with him! '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I couldn’t turn the infant away but his wife I could refuse! I might have been able to bring her out of her daze but it what cost? Too high of a cost to me and that so called wife of his would not be able to take care herself. I decided to make the best of it and took care of her as he asked and as far as I am concerned, Merriweather would be better off gone to her next life.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''My main concern was the infant not Zadicus. He wouldn’t know how to take care of a baby while I have taken care of many animal babies. We did well enough in the beginning and Rosewoode had turned 3. By then the child was way too curious and needed more and more of our attention. Neither one of us really wanted to be the teacher so it came down to a wizard’s duel of which I am proud to say that I had won hands down. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''What did concern me was there was another presence about, one who I did not know or trust. Once I found out that it was Rosewoode’s other grandmother, I nearly flipped my lid! I watched with a shut mouth for I was planning on giving my brother a good scolding for holding back information from me.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Meanwhile, Fiona changed into a familiar looking hummingbird of fabulous colors. Rosewoode giggled which made it obvious to me that she seen this bird before as I had. I just overlooked it as a hummingbird not as a creature watching over Rosewoode. That was to be our job….. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Fiona assisted Rosewoode with her teleporting out of the tree and then with her transforming back to her normal self. Rosewoode smiled and took Fiona’s hand then smiled shyly. Rosewoode then asked if she did good or not. Fiona smiled and spoke these words:'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“Llie sai eithel nesh llie nil commae elle enna”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">(You did very well for your first time, little one.)

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Rosewoode knew Elven of all things! I was astounded for I rarely spoke to her and now realized that I was not raising her as a human child. Reluctantly, I had to admit that at Rosewoode’s stage, Fiona was the best teacher she could have. From then on until Rosewoode was 7, Fiona was her teacher. After that I was Rosewoode’s teacher. I made sure that she didn’t repeat any of that elven nonsense around my home!'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Chapter 4- Fiona says a bit…..

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I found out about Dermot taking a bride and was livid but Dermot was a lively boy and a dutiful son in most respects. However I left in anger and did not come back until after his bride was too far gone and then only due to his pleas for help.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Help I could not give for the lady was too far gone into a coma. I could do nothing for my son either since he went into a deep depression and shut his castle up. I found my grandchild by following the lifeline I drew from Dermot’s and Kathyleene’s life lines. It gave me enough to go on to find the infant’s trail. I kept an eye on her for just over a year old. By then Rosewoode was starting to get into mischief. I kept her busy in little ways that her grandfather and great aunt did not notice. Before long, I was taken in by her sweetness and goodness then I began to become attached to her. I protected her while she was in her small room until she no longer wanted to be in it. She was three years old when I took her out of the room. A birthday party which was her first and I hoped not to let her be overly spoiled. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Several weeks later, when she climbed a tree and changed into a cat with a pouch, I laughed until I cried. It was a happy afternoon until they came along hunting for Rosewoode. I made sure that she would always be safe no matter what they would say! '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''I did have my ways until that brute Brian came along. I told Zadicus and Mim of him various times during that last year but they would not heed my warning. I did my best but my best was not good enough for Rosewoode unfortunately. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''One day Brain came upon us and I knew there was to be trouble. Rosewoode was now 7 years old and very obedient to me. When I felt his presence, I simply spoke sharply to Rosewoode to run home as quick as possible. Brian and I dueled until I was too wounded to fight any longer. I then turned into a germ and hitched a ride. I spoke to Brian as to what I was and the only one who could help him would be Dermot. He took the bait and went to Dermot who nearly laughed out loud for he knew what a virus was. Also he knew that it would just have to run it’s course. Dermot put his father in bed and ‘left to get some herbs’ for the cure not knowing that I was in Brian’s body. I managed to creep out but soon died from over exhaustion. My ghost was not able to rest until I spoke with Dermot. I told Dermot of the where about of the family key to a castle that was to be inherited by the first born female. He kept the key and told me that Rosewoode would get it when she was older. I had to be satisfied with that promise for I was now fading away.'''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“'''I grew up without any other children around but I was never a lonely child. But as a young child I lost much of memory. A spell was put on me when I was a day from being 16 years old. There was too much going ons about my birthday and all that was to be associated with it. I was very aggravated and not very cooperative at all. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">'''Grandfather Zadicus gave me a tea to settle me down. I happen to fall asleep and was quite sleepy when I was told to go through some sort of a portal. I did as I was told. I found a unicorn at the far side which was the one thing I wanted more than anything else in the world. Next to the unicorn was a tall fir tree. It was a wayfir tree where travelers could stay free of charge. I heard a loud crashing sound and turned quickly but the unicorn held me back with her teeth. The portal entrance was destroyed completely and I had no way to go home now. I was very confused and angry at being tricked by Grandfather Zadicus and great aunt Mim. '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Somehow I found my way inside the wayfir tree and lived day there for a while.
