---One Month Later---
Elliot sat uncomfortably in his Caretakers car, who was currently driving him to his sisters latest showing. This particular concert made Elliot uncomfortable because this one was being hosted at a large mansion, packed to the brim with people who had fake smiles of plated gold. With sounds of fake smiles congesting the room, making it almost impossible for Elliot to breathe. When Elliot and his caretaker arrived, he could see his sister shaking hands, while his parents were constantly fishing for complements about his little sister. Elliot always arrived in his caretakers van, instead of coming with his parents, due to their wishes of not wanting Elliot to be seen with them. As Elliot was rolled into the largest room, where all the guests were currently staying at. Elliot was rolled to a corner, this action was appreciated by Elliot. In the corner, nobody would look at him, and no children would stare at him, he could be away from all the fake smiles and laughter and just wait.
---An Hour Later---
Elliot was rolled near the exit as all the party guests began to sit down, and talk in anticipation of the concert. Once the lights dimmed, and people began to go up to the stage, one person went up to the front of the stage, and began to thank all of the guests for coming to the concert. This person kept on talking, and talking, and then mentioned about how glad they were for his little sister to be playing at this concert. As the person continued Elliot heard some idle conversation pass through his ears. "so thats the famous prodigy, Amanda Fion?" "Yes, I hear that she picked up the violin at age 3, and had a natural talent for it." "Yes, an only child, manages to master the piano at such a young age, truly astounding. After hearing those words, something in Elliot broke, An only child. Thats what Elliot's existence was now, he didnt exist, Elliot needed to get out, he felt like he was suffocating and he needed to get out. He started to move his body with all his might, managing to hit his caretaker in the face, and alert him that something was wrong. After some trial and error, the caretaker finally brought Elliot outside to the front of the mansion, near the open road. Elliot's caretaker hadn't gone to the bathroom since the beginning of the party, so he had to go to the bathroom. Elliot didn't mind, he knew the need to go since it happened to him occasionally when he was asleep. Once his caretaker quickly dashed to the bathroom, Elliot looked out into the road, is this what his life had come to? Not allowed to be shown with his family, being placed in a school which if anything, was making him dumber every day, eating mush, and almost never talking to his family, and his only friend not even acknowledging his existence. Elliot tilted his eyes to look at the moon, almost at the peak of the night. As Elliot kept his eyes on the moon, a breeze began to roll his chair onto the road, Elliot had forgotten about his breaks. The breeze carried Elliot all the way over to the middle of the road. Once the wind stopped, all that Elliot could do was wait, and wait, for his caretaker. After a few seconds, Elliot could see a large light in the middle of the road. This kicked Elliot into panic mode as he constantly moved his body left and right, left and right. After constantly moving left and right, Elliot fell off his wheelchair, falling to the road, after constantly moving left and right, Elliot was able to get on his back. But with his left arm being sprawled on the ground, Elliot tried to move over again, but once he was on his back, he couldn't get off. And move. When Elliot looked at the sky, he could see the moon, at its peak in the starry night sky. When Elliot tilted his eyes downward, he could see a large red surface, and then, darkness.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
