A Mist of Prophecies: A Storm of Things Foreseen
The baby with red hair screamed--a boy hardly older than a year--as the man picked him up. The man had long, white-blond hair and cold Arctic blue eyes that his malicious grin refused to warm.
Madoc leered over Titania. A Titania whose hands were shackled in front of her in iron. "Do you dare deny me now?" The blonde man standing on the platform behind Madoc grinned and held the boy up higher. "Do you dare?" Madoc repeated.
Summary: A Gargoyles Fanfic. Queen Titania has a mission for Cassandra that can bring the halfling gargoyle to a clan that will accept what she is. But can Cassandra trust the Queen that destroyed everything she knew?
During the summer of 1998 while eagerly awaiting the second season of The Gargoyles Saga (an excellent fanfic continuation of the Gargoyles cartoon series, beginning at the point in the arc when creator Greg Weisman left the show), I became involved in the TGS Comment Room. The persona I developed in the room was a halfling gargoyle named Cassandra. She was over three-thousand-years-old, was from Troy (Homer and the rest of those Greeks got a few facts wrong), and has prophetic visions that no one believes.
At the same time, the TGS Staff--in part to keep us rabid fans off their backs--asked that we turn our creative energies to writing our own fanfics. I realized that I wanted to tell Cassandra's story, have her join the Manhattan Clan--mainly because no one seems to take Goliath up on his offers--and use Loki as the villain. I hope you enjoy the story and the series it is the first story of.
