Author's Note:This is some chosen excerpts from my final fic for the MacNiall Odyssey. There will, of course, be pictures this time. As you may have seen if you've been in my gallery since my last upload.

The text may be changed in the actual fan fiction, for I don't want to give away too much ;].



Kirada pushed through the snow, finally glad to be home in Raven. Why had she left this place, so long ago? Was it the raping, the murders, or her own fears?

Whatever the reason was, she could not remember it now. She pushed through the ankle-high snow and yawned, passing a tree... A bush... A small patch of leaves. She stopped, taking a defensive pose. There was no tree near those leaves. Only a dead bush. And the leaves were all from some sort of Maple Tree.

Sniffing at it, a large wolf - yet slightly smaller than her - sprang out, jaws wide. It was Grayson.



The Ending (or is it? ;] )

Kirada limped down the rocks, feeling as though her lungs were deflated or collapsed. She didn't know which, and she no longer cared. Seeing the bodies scattered from the war, she grimaced and closed her Topaz eyes. She felt like it was all her fault.

There was no movement on the burning plain, where her brother, Jorje, was born. No insects, no birds. Only dead bodies.

She had never seen a land so barren and lifeless. Pulling herself to the edge of the last climb, she slid down. Just one step more, and she would be a goner. She knew it.

Yet, she took that step.

With crumbling rocks, she slid down the canyon slope, some thirty to thirty-five feet, finally coming to rest at a cranny.

And eagle flew by then, her mother. And looked down. Landing beside Kirada, she clawed at her shoulder. Yet she did not move.

Raven was gone now, Annalise MacNiall knew.

And so, Raven fell with her queen, mixed with the blood on the ground; the very life nectar that kept her alive for so long now stained her cobble-stone floors.

The Last MacNiall Was Dead.

[quote="iceshadowWhy does everything bad happen to the good people?[/quote]

I really don't know. I just kinda tired of Kirada (I've had her since first or second grade, and I'm in ninth now), and wanted to basically cause [more] turmoil for her.

BUT; who's to say she dies, or lives? ;]

*Gasps* That's very cool!

Thank you. ^_^ I might put more in later, depends on how bad of a spoiler I want.

*hugs for all!*
