Title: My Lifes Journey
Author: Lady Tiffany Moon
As a very young child the memory of living near Cove in a small house with my parants is still with me. It was cozy and had nice gardens of flowers and some vegetables. The woods were quite near us and many creatures passed by close to us.
One night I awoke to the most horrid screeches and screams I ever heard. The giberish sounded familiar. I could see flames outside my window. My mother came into my room with flames on her dress and sparks in her hair. She grabbed me and pulled me to the kitchen. Opening a small door into our root celler and pushed me in. The door slamed shut and I crawled to the nearest outside wall, trying to hear what was going on.
It was dark, and smoky and very warm. I think the thick stone walls protected me. After a long while I fell asleep. When I woke it was very quiet. Crawling to the door I gave it a push, and it opened for me.
Crawling out, I could not believe my eyes. There was nothing left of the house or my parants. Just the stone floor and ashes. Every where there were foot prints in the ashes and dust. The only thing left was our old mailbox by the road. Walking to it I sat on a large rock nearby. I sat there thinking ' what can I do now, I need someone to help me, where can I go ? '
After a while ,getting up and gathering my courage, I started walking towards Cove. From the woods a foul smalling Orc came running towards me with a big ugly knife in his hand. Throwing my hands up to protect myself, I saw a large dog/wolf run up the road and attack the orc. It killed it quickly and walked over near me and sat down. As it watched me a pretty lady came rushing up the road towards us. She said something to the dog/wolf and it lay down.
It licked my hand and watched me. The pretty Lady petted the dog/wolf and sat down on a rock next to me. 'And whats your name dear." she asked. I stuttered and finally said, " I..... I am called Tiffany. "
" Thats a nice name" she said, The full moon was just coming over the hill behind me and looking up she said, " I think we will call you, Tiffany Moon, would you like that ? "
I smilled and nodded. The Lady was so nice and friendly I knew she would be my friend.
" My name is Lady Lissa , and you are coming to live with me "
Feeling relieved and safe I took her hand and she helped me up. With the dog/wolf next to us we started to walk towards Cove. When we got to her nice house, I metIt wasn't her sister Cymeril. We also became good friends. Lissa was a humanist and her sister was a bard. They taught me skills of Magery and tried to teach me music. That didn't work. I love music but never could play any. My parants had taught me much of growing things and I still remember alll of it.
As I was growing up, I had the feeling that it would be nice to have my own home. My protectors helped me save enough for my first home. It was small but cozy. It was a tiny house in the woods east of Vesper. Later I bought a little larger one on the shore by Skara with a nice view of the water.
And later on a large log house north of yew. And finally, to my best and present home. Dwelling with me are friends and helpers, also there are some cute and loving pets for me too. A very enjoyable home.
Till now this has been my life.
