Soul Riders (Book 1): Jorvik Calling — page 4 — Prologue Once upon a time in the Cold Sea lay a lifeless isle where darkness reigned One day a star fell from the sky and out of its strong flaming glow came a girl on horseback As she rode slowly across the sea her horse’s hooves tamed the wild waves beneath her In her right hand she held the light of life in her left a golden harp The music of the harp awoke the surrounding nature She lay the light down on the island and life and hope poured out of the cold nothingness Warmth and brightness spread over everything that had been dead Everything was new But the girl’s spirit could not endure She dissolved into nature into the winds the rain the teardrops of the dew Some claim she remains there to this day Listen and you might hear her in the wondrously clear song of the birds or feel her in the soft caress of the breeze on a warm summer’s day As the island called Jorvik came into being good and evil entered the world Light cannot exist without darkness as darkness cannot exist without light The struggle between good and evil has been secretly raging for thousands of years A great darkness hides in the depths of the ocean biding its time waiting just a little while longer Jorvik located somewhere between Norway Iceland and the British Isles of which it was once part is a nexus of worlds
