Ebony Wings: Prologue

Prologue

Christopher

Son of Duke and his fiance fall to their death.

''Young Alder Fier falls to his death during his 21th birthday party. Both his and his wife-to-be were found dead at the bottom of the cliff where their house were. ''

''Is is assumed that that the Son of the Duke and his wife have either commited suicide or were pushed off. Though the former is more likely. Also- ''

Christopher crumpled the old newspaper and threw it across the room.

He fell flat on his bed, face-first. He muffled his screams of frustration with his pillow.

It had been 10 years since he tried to find out his heritage. There were several leads but the closest was this Alder character. The problem was; Alder had died before having any children. So that was a dead end.

"Ugh." That single word described how he was feeling right now. After all this time he was fairly content on just being a another orphan.

Turning to the bedside table, he picked up the frame that adorned it. It was him and a group of other orphans, in the middle was sweet, old Aunt Aaira. Her name meant noble and rightfully so.

However, that was the past now. Old Aaira had passed away a year ago and he was almost 18, soon enough he had to leave the orphanage. Which was why he was so desperate to find his 'family'.

A letter fell out of the frame, hit him on the face and broke his focus.

His first thought was "Oo. A letter." Second, he was wondering why and how it got there. He quickly decided that the only way to find out was to read it.

The letter came with a plane ticket, to some place called manhattan. The letter was by far the more interesting of the two.

It said:

''Want to find out about your family? Take the plane. ''

~ D

There was no name written on the letter, just the letter D.

Obviously the letter was suspicious. However, he was a soon ot be homeless orphan. His caretaker had already died. He had no family to care or to worry about him.

Even if he were to disappear off the face of the earth, no one would know nor care. If the letter was true, then he would find out his heritage. If it wasn't, what did he have to lose?

"Well I'm going to America then."
