Prologue

A fair but vain king once ruled the land of Tesloniea. This king appointed four officials; three men and one elf, to rule the land in his place and in doing so set about the coming of his death.                                                    The officials under the power of the wealthy, careless king soon grew jealous and devised a plot to remove him from the throne.  Cruelly they poisoned him and took his place as ruler.
              For four years the officials ruled and made Tesloniea a content and proud place. But the officials became envious of one another and quarrels began.

He sought to find a way that all humans could be destroyed and elves become the dominant specie.

            Many miles away huddled in the soft blankets of her bed Clarinda lay awake watching the moonlight seep in through the windows. Sleep appeared to have overlooked this one person but Clarinda knew she was restless for a more important reason. Somehow she felt something was wrong, she had felt this way before…
