The Escapist~ Prologue

Far away in a small village was a mother tucking her three children in when they asked her to repeat the tale of how the wars began. She smiled warmly and patted one softly on the top of the head.

“Why do you want to hear this tired tale again? ‘Tis an awful lot of nonsense,” she said. Her tone followed its usual delicate lightness.

Summary

It has been a thousand years since the war first began in Elemtias.  There have been moments where the war has seemed to have ceased, but in reality it never did.  Thano Rinehart was sent on a mission to find Cordaya’s only living descendant, Marie Anthony, but the only problem he faces is leaving Elemtias.  He finally locates Marie after seventeen years of searching, but has a difficult time with getting her to agree.  She finally accepts her fate, but when she arrives there she told him that she would no longer be referred to as Marie Anthony, but as a new woman named Corraya Marina Dasante.

Meanwhile, the prince of Solaris has been planning ways to infiltrate Winteria to find inside information.  He was on his way back home when he had a run-in with the Mother of the Gods, Thea, who explains to him the situation of Corraya along with her involvement in their lives.  Somewhere down the line he meets up with Corraya and has a difficult time accepting her presence in his journey, but soon after a terrible situation that nearly reveals who they were while they were on another mission does he understand her purpose in his life.

During their journey, they were given a side quest to find out where Cordaya placed her sword, the Miyavian Heart.  Corraya is restored with the power of her mother and finds out about her mother and the mistake that placed her on Earth.  She, at the end, has to make a choice: stay in Elemtias with her real family or return to the life that she always knew.
