Generation One- Prologue

So my name is Ivy Dare and this is my legacy. My family history is pretty interesting and if you want to read all about it, you can head over here. Now let me introduce myself. As I've said, my name is Ivy. I look like my mother, she's french. But my blue hair comes from my great-great grandfather who was started out life as an imaginary friend. One of my ancestors was an alien and it was from her that my family began a legacy. Nine generations lived in the one house in Twinbrook. Now it's my turn. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you about where I came from...

 

 

That's my Dad on the left, Gabriel Dare. And that beautiful young woman is Sylvie. They met in France when my father was off on vacation.

They fell in love at first sight.

My Dad was an explorer and he continued to travel the world, stopping back in France to see my mum as often as he could.

He was a witch, like his mother. He didn't really practise the art very often, but he did pass it on to me and my sisters.

My mum saved up enough to come to Twinbrook to visit my dad and when she arrived he proposed. They married as quickly as they could and mum never left his side.

She went with him around the world and helped explore hundreds of tombs.

My twin sister and I were conceived here in Al Simhara, Eygpt.

They stopped travelling the world as mum got heavily pregnant.

That's me being carried by Mum and my twin sister Emilie is being held by Dad.

I wondered a lot if they missed the travelling, but parenting suited my parents very well anyway.

My sister and I were identical growing up.

That's me and Mum on the day she told me she was pregnant again.

Dad took great care of mum during that pregnancy, I remember.

And they gave birth to my little sister Violet.

We were raised in a happy stable home, hearing Dad's tales of his long and amazing family history. I've always loved hearing about my great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother, the alien, Raven Moon and how she came all this way from a place called Lunar Lakes. So when my Dad told me he'd discovered an ancient book on one of his early travels, that could lead me to find Lunar Lakes I jumped at the chance. I spent my teen years researching this mysterious place, before I found a way to go there. And so now, the day after I graduated high school, I'm on my way to Lunar Lakes. I've no idea what I'll find there, or even if I'll see my parents and sisters again. But I know I'll find an adventure.
