The leaves entwining barricaded the single path to the lush wonders that lay ahead. Azure flashes sped along until they reached the barrier. Dappled moonlight glittered all around the starry ground, illuminating the face of the wise.
Although, the wise knew no better than the others.
All around, they young, energetic stars frolicked and laughed, leaving light in their path. When they finally slept, a hush surrounded the growing light ground, and an arrow formed by light pointed towards the barrier.
Under the blazing sun and the roar of fire
Entwined by fear and afraid by love
The strength in the trunk of trees and the hesitance from betrayal
Will meet
The once powerful gem will succumb to the mercy of clay
And betrayal is at hand for the one who fears
The words imprinted under the dying vines of leaves glowed brighter as the plant receded. And in a blinding flash, all disappeared.
What was that? One star seemed to twinkle to another.
I don't know! Will they...?
The first star shushed the second. If it is so, we shall not know.
Far away, in the town of Jacr, a young boy moaned in pain. In a nearby city, a younger girl relished the priceless items given to her, yet her mind lingered on the earthy smell of a growing tree and freshly watered soil.
Heeeeey! Soooo! I love the prophecy, and a prologue is a great place to have one of those. However, I have just one suggestion; that maybe you should add an actual character into it. I doesn't have to be a main character or anything, but it would just add interest to draw the reader in. Also, it's good not to use super boring words all the time, but at the beginning there just watch that you don't use too many fancy words, because that tends to distract the reader from the point that's trying to be made. Sometimes simple vocabulary is better. I like it a lot though, especially the part with the stars and the "wise" not knowing any better than the rest. I'm gonna read the next two chapters now, hope this helps ;)
