She was taken to the king. Upon hearing the news, he imprisoned her in a frenzied state. She was trapped. She bargained, begged, did everything she could to convince the king to let her go, but he resisted. Little did she know, magic wasn't unknown. Outside the little kingdom, gods and goddesses ruled the lands.
And she was the rain goddess.
However, she never learned this information. The king sucked all and any power from her in fear of what she would do. She was exiled, silenced, and nobody will ever know.
This is when it all went off-script.
As if someone pulled a lever, harsh rain began to pour. The weak wooden roof couldn't take the battering, and began to creak and groan. Rotting planks fell from the ceiling, and the rain pushed its way in, flowing in an unnatural pattern. Allie and the guards watched in pure shock as her hands began to shake, and the rain began to move with her.
So you can imagine her dismay when the winds got harsher, the cold got stronger, and the king got worse. His seemingly unprompted paranoia had been growing - it had been a rumor ever since Allie was born that he was slowly going mad.
So he banned books.
He was scared they would influence the people's imagination, make them realize the unfair lives they were living, make them rebel.
Allie was in the town library, which was an old, musty building, where the rusty squealing of the door is the substitute for a bell. But it held her books, and therefore her world. She was sliding her new pick over the counter when she noticed something. She paused, looking around warily.
