The Robinson Legacy - Prologue

1. Prologue The Robinson Legacy

2. “Welcome to The Weather Station! Today, the weather in Pleasantview will be pleasant, with temperatures up to 34 degrees Celsius. If you’re in Veronaville, expect some sunny spells and light rain showers with temperatures ranging from 12 to 23 degrees Celsius. Strangetown will be-” “Ugh! Why does Port Weston always have to be LAST?” Emily Robinson complained to her friend, Flora Wood. “I don’t know...” “In Port Weston, there’ll be more stormy weather, including heavy rain and lots of thunder and lightning. Now we head over to Claire Hob, who’ll explain why this is happening.” “Thanks, Jason. We think it’s happening because the Gods are angry – they want a legacy completed, but Port Weston unable to do this. We advise that people begin to move away-”

3. “You know, Flora, I think we should go and see old Miss Dragon to find out some more about legacies,” said Emily, looking up at her friend. “Yes, I think we should.” They smiled at each other, then ran to the car through the torrential rain, and drove to the other side of Port Weston.

4. There was a knock at the door, and Agatha Dragon said hoarsely, “Come in...”

5. “Hello, Miss Dragon, my name is Emily, and this is Flora. We were wondering if you could tell us something about... The legacy you were in. I’m really sorry if we’re intruding...” said Emily. “Saw something on the television, did you? Yes, I can tell you about it. Sit down.”

6. “Of course, being only the daughter of a spare, I wasn’t told much, but I will tell you the little that I know of The Dragon Legacy.”

7. “Our legacy was finished because the seventh generation only had one child, and she refused to have children and continue the legacy. Her parents would have had more kids, but they were too old when she told them.”

8. “It started out when a fairy visited my great-great-great-grandmother, and told her that she was destined to start a legacy. So, she was planted on a lot with only the bare essentials for life and was told to get married, have kids then die. Of course, she did just that.”

9. “But when the incident in the seventh generation happened, the fairy got angry. She told the Gods, her masters, and they, too, were angry. The south part of Port Weston was destroyed.”

10. “If a legacy isn’t finished the soon, the Gods will get more and more angry, as you saw on the television. If a legacy isn’t finished soon, Port Weston will be doomed to destruction.

11. “But why a legacy? Why not just... I don’t know... Ten generations of an already existing family?” asked Flora.

12. “No one knows...”

13. Emily stood up. “I’m going to do it. I’m going to start a legacy.”

14. “No, Emily! You can’t!” said Flora, also standing up. “I can! And I’m going to! If it helps Port Weston, I’ll do it! Come on, Flora! We were born and bred here, we can’t just let it be crushed by the Gods...”

15. “That’s very noble of you, Emily, but why would anyone willingly start a legacy?” Agatha interrupted. “Hm, let’s see, to save their neighbourhood? Thanks for all your help, Miss Dragon, but we must go now.” Agatha Dragon sighed. “Good luck...”

16. When they were driving back, Emily had explained her reasons to Flora, who seemed more at ease with her decisions now, and Flora had given her a good luck present and said, “Just... Don’t forget about me, k?” “I’ll only be the other side of town!” “Yeah, but... Still...”

17. “Hey, you just take care of yourself, ok?” said Emily. “Me? What about you!?” retorted Flora, grinning.

18. Flora sighed, and hugged Emily, tears prickling in her eyes. “I’m gonna miss you,” she said. “Yeah, I’m gonna miss you too.” “Ok, go. Before I start blubbering all over you,” Flora sniffed, laughing slightly and wiping her eyes.

19. And so, Emily Robinson. set off to begin her new life as a legacy founder.
