Light the Way Home



Prologue

"Are you sure this is the right girl?"

Miera slowly opened one eye. Two black-cloaked figures were standing next to her bed. ''What are these people doing in my room in the middle of the night? ''Miera wondered, frozen with panic. ''They can't possibly want anything with me. They have the wrong person. ''

"She's awake," one of the cloaked figures said. "The soporidine, Darnel."

Soporidine. Miera didn't know what that was, but it didn't sound good. She was about to call for help when the second cloaked figure- Darnel- poured a cold liquid on her palm.

Oh. So this was soporidine. Miera didn't have the energy to call for help anymore. She didn't have the energy to do anything. Miera was falling into a deep, deep, sleep...

The last thing she heard before sinking into an eternal sleep was the first cloaked figure saying, "Our work here is done." Then everything went black, and would stay that way for the next seven years.
