Prologe

Her whole body aches. She could feel it in her every bone. And she can hear muffled noises all around but she does not know where they come from. She cannot see anything. It’s all dark. Maybe she has her eyes closed but she is not quite sure. She hardly even knows if she’s standing or lying on the floor. It feels all the same. She has just awakened but it feels like she’s fainting again.

Then suddenly it all becomes clearer for her. She now recognizes that she is lying on something, probably a bed. Also the sounds get clearer. She can make out different voices. Male and female.



But where is she? And who is she? She cannot remember. Slowly she opens her eyes and blinks. It’s all blurry and misty. She blinks again several times and her view clears. She can see silhouettes and shadowed figures. They are standing above her and look at her. She's confused and frightened. What are they doing with her? Why is she here?

“She’s awake” says one of the voices and then speaking to her: “It’s alright. You’re safe”. Safe? Had she been in danger? Why does she feel scared then? She blinks again. And she notices a woman in a long brown cloak.



“Here, drink this” the woman says and hands her a cup of water. She hesitates and looks fearfully around. But as she feels how dry her throat is she reaches for the cup and empties it quickly.

“Where am I?” she finally manages to ask.



The woman smiles kindly. “You’re in Avalon”

Avalon? She doesn’t know where that is but she thinks that she has heard of it before.



“And who am I?”

It sounds ridiculous to her but she has to ask.



“I don’t know” the woman answers full of compassion.

“We found you in the lake and thought you were dead as we pulled you out. But luckily you weren't. Anyway, I am Jenna.”



She was told to rest so she does.

In this night she dreams vividly.

In her dreams there are beasts, magical creatures, knights and sorcerers.

There are people screaming and dying. There is blood and fire everywhere. A light flashes through the vision and then the dream changes.

It is silent now and the shadow of a man on a horse appears. A knight, he holds a sword.

And then there is a king and a golden, glowing pair of eyes. She knows these eyes.

Suddenly they fade with a scream in the chaos of a battle field among the clanging of the blades and the screaming. And the knight with the sword falls from his horse…

She awakens suddenly with a scream and sits up straight on her bed. She’s scared to death. Her breath goes fast and her heart beats even faster. Sweat runs down her face.

Slowly she calms down and then she smiles.

Now she remembers. She remembers who she is and everything. She knows even more. She knows what will be.

She gets up and puts her cloak on. She is determined and so she makes her way through the night, leaving the safety of Avalon.

She has to make sure that it is the truth, what she has just seen in her dream. It was a vision and she has to do everything to prevent what it has predicted. Maybe she will finally get her revenge. Maybe this is her last chance to get justice and save the future.
