How it all began

As some of you may know, I am writing a book about my characters. But it is not only the storyline I used for my digital art. No, I am writing from where it all began. And I thought maybe some of you would like to read the first chapter :3 It is a background story about Charlie. But what makes my book different from my character stories here on deviantart, is that the book is more focussing on humans instead of horses. So the horses are more to the background :') I want to tell Charlie's story because there's a lot that you still don't know about her :') When Celin came to Niatara I told a little piece of Charlie's past but I never came further x] so you can read a little piece here now ^^ (the story is Dutch so I'll translate it into English :'))

It all began in a place called Parrida in a world where magic was not unusual. The family Cahiere lived here existing from a father, mother, their two year old daughter Kelly and a new born child, Charlie. It was a happy family in a peaceful village. But one day, Parrida was under attack by creatures with dark magic. The family went on a run but lost their baby on the way. What happened after that is unknown. Charlie ended up in a different world somehow, a world where magic was very important. She ended up in a orphanage. She grew up and got a friend in the orphanage, a girl named Celin. Celin and her sick little brother Ramiro were dumped on the street by their parents. Celin and Charlie were always together. They had a lot of adventures in the orphanage and sometimes they escaped out of it and went outside. The orphanage had strict rules and Charlie loved to break them. She was the rebel of the orphanage and Celin and she got into a lot of trouble. When Charlie was eight years old, she came up with a plan to run away from the orphanage.
'Celin, Do you also have enough of all these rules and punishments here?' asked Charlie one day whispering to her one year younger friend.
'Yes of course!' Celin answered.
'What do you think of running away? Far away from here and never come back. Going in to the world and be free!'
'That sounds amazing! But Charlie... I can't take Ramiro with me... and I also can't leave him here on his own.' Celin said with a sad look in her darkbrown eyes.
'Oh yeah...' Charlie thought about it for a second.
'He really can't join us?'
'No, he is too sick and too weak.' Celin said while she looked to her little brother who was playing with his action figures on a short distance.
'But you can go Char, an orphanage is definitely no place for you.'
'It is also not a place for you Cel!' Charlie said while she looked at Celin's said face.
'I don't have a choice... go on an adventure Charlie, what you always wanted.'
'You don't mind?'
'No Charlie, I'll be okay.' Celin said while faking a smile.
They hugged eachother 'One day I'll find you Celin. I can never forget you.' Charlie smiled back.
'Wait, I have something for you!' Celin walked over to the place in the room where her stuff lay and picked a drawing out of it. A drawing she made herself. On the drawing you saw Charlie and she. Celin was only seven years old but she was a very talented drawer.
'Thank you.' Charlie said and she folded the drawing so it would fit into her pocket. She packed a backpack with her dearest stuff. Like her golden necklace with a round medaliion and a white glowing christal in it. The only thing what she had from the place where she came from. Wherever that may be...
and that night she left on a search for adventure.

Hope you liked it ^^
