The Road Home
Book One: Discovery
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
What is the Road, you ask? It's just a road, a pathway, a way to get from A to B, anyone else would say. That is, anyone without the Talent.
In a world where magic is controlled by the monarch, where unicorns are monitored closely, a world where those with the Talent are hunted and destroyed and a close watch is kept on this mysterious Road, questions begin to arise. Questions such as what secret does the Road guard, how do you find that secret, and how can it be controlled. In a world where an accidental outburst of Talent can mean a pony is hunted, can mean a price is put on their head - for those special few would there ever be freedom again? The quest of a young pegasus begins when she discovers the Talent hidden deep within her, followed by a desperate struggle for survival as she is mercilessly hunted and a thirst for knowledge of who she is, what exactly is so dangerous about this Talent, and what is the secret of the Road. Her quest is complicated when, as strange events occur, she must question her own being. Is she who she thought she was, or someone different?
Dare you step onto the Road?

"Blog" Updates:
Once again a move has been made, I've had to abandon the idea of uploading my story to my webs site due to financial difficulties - I just can't afford to upgrade my site in order to get the pages needed.
The old site will still be functioning and alive - it merely has a different purpose. Now it has the job of serving as an Information Site, providing any information from the plot, the legend of the Road and the Talent, and character information. I will also be creating an on-site blog if I finish the renovation with pages to spare. The guestbook and links pages are to remain unchanged - I welcome any and all comments either by way of FF.net or my guestbook on webs.com.
The story will now be uploaded via FanFiction.net.
The banners above are fully functional - if you click them, they will take you to the intended sites. The banners in my signature are also functional.
