This is a rough draft of the prologue of Mix Blood. I deiced that I wouldn’t use it because it told too much of Astrid’s history and the mystery of her fate.
A cry of a newborn babe filled the place walls where the eldest of the Three Goddess and her husband lived. After so much time, and so many tries a child was now theirs. A daughter with her mother’s hair and eyes but with her papa’s power.
The God of Tricksters, Flickron came into the room where the babe was in the arms of her mother. He couldn’t help but watch as the woman who he married gently rocked their baby and kissed it’s head. Yet in this time of joy there was also pain.
“Luna…” he barely whispered as he walked over.
“She’s the one that you promised to your sister…”
“I know, but if you…”
“No, I will see my daughter again, but I must honor the promise you made.”
“I will watch over her, and the family I chosen is from the clan I hold dear.”
“Yes, the head of the Finnis clan.”
“I will help her when the time comes, I will use my own life…”
“I know Flick, but please don’t be too rough on her okay?”
He nodded and took the babe to her new family. A family that would raise her until it was time for her to finish the promise he made. She was to the one, the one who would mix her blood.
