THE PAST........ part One!

((A three part story of Lyn's past five years after the atrocity at her Colony))
 
In the midst of all things dealing with life and death was a woman bound to it as tightly as a clock to time itself.  She could not bring back the dead to full life nor could she create new life.  In her hands rested the very end of life.  Her mother was one of respect and love for life, but somehow the daughter fell from that path.  It had nothing to do with her current and new lover.  Lyn Trancedigaeth had turned her back on her homeland to move forth into her own future never to look back.  The mountains covered in a pearliscent white snow.  It almost glittered in the sunlight.  Time evolved onward as it would.  Lyn still never went back home.  Her lover, Kain, always made a point to return to that fateful spot to pay his respects alone.  Lyn stood overlooking the mountains awaiting his return from such a journey this day.
 
It would be a five day ride on horseback to Lyn's old stomping grounds, but she remained where she stopped.  Setting up a make shift camping site and traveling around to check for any signs of danger or threats periodically.  Kain continued on after a few sweet words of parting.  As Lyn watched the sun fall behind the mountains in the distance the wind was much colder than normal.  The campfire nearby roared and crackled as any fire would with the wind blowing into it.  It did not affect her in the least, but she could still feel the ominous winds change in course and temperature.  The very feeling made her uneasy and anxious.  The white hair that flowed down her back was whipped upward as the wind grabbed it as it went by.  Strands fell into her face moving slowly around.  The tent nearby rattled by the wind had caught her attention quickly.  The sounds of the night became silenced in a moments notice.  The very life of the surroundings were silenced as well.  Strangely the wind that blew did not make the trees move as they should.   

Lyn stood tall as she listened for any noise.  Her eyes scanned the surrounding area for anything.  Her senses felt like they increased in sensitivity.  Lyn knew Kain had many enemies and they would love to use her as bait or revenge to get back at him for whatever reason they had.  The air suddenly grew still and the cold wind that once blew stopped.  The very heart of Death was pounding as she pondered what would happen next.  Her imagination was going wild with ideas and notions of what if.  Some shadows moved in the forest around her, but Lyn did not rush at them or move from her place of refuge.  Lyn moved closer to the fire in case she needed to use it as a way to fight back.  The shadows moved like creatures instead of men as they slinked and moved in the surrounding area.  A hissing sound could be heard that mimicked someone laughing echoed within the area.  Lyn took a hold of her sword the Dragon's Tail to get ready.  
 
Just as quickly as they came the shadows left.  Everything returned to normal as the wind began to blow again.  Lyn took a deep breath as she kicked a few more logs into the fire.  Perhaps the fire is what kept them at bay, but only time would tell.
