Ch.42 The history of shadows

I looked at my mom astonished. She knows something about the tribe of Shadows.

"Tell me about the Shadow tribe." I spoke softly.

She looked at me and drew in a deep breath. "The history of that tribe was lost to time, we may never know the true story, but we can only assume that the one I am about to tell has truth." she said speaking softy.

"Are you ready?" she asked us.

"Yes." Anyira and I said in unison.

"Over 200 years ago the supreme leaders of shadow gave birth. This child had sacred powers, even more powerful than shadow itself. The powers of time, healing, and rebirth. This caused great fear for the supreme leaders. They kept their daughter a secret for 4 years until a maiden spoke of their daughter by accident." she paused a moment before speaking again.

"They knew that their daughter would cause a riot over their people, so they went as far as trying to sacrifice her to ancient power that slep within their realm, she was only 5." she wiped tears from her eyes.

"Do you know this girls name?" I asked her.

She looked at me before answering. "Ofcourse I do you were named after the goddess, her name is Mieryia."

"Anyway, the sacrifice didn't work, her new found immortality made it impossible. For 2 years after that riots broke out within the kingdom of Shadows, until one day a royal guard of the the supreme leaders, was granted the ancient power that slept within the realm and tried to kill the goddess. That man was lord Darbuse."

I looked at her astonished. What was this power and why was he blessed with it.

"After Darbuse had acquired the power he became evil and punished the realm, torturing every last soul. Even going as far as killing the surpreme leaders." she paused again.

"He killed the whole tribe, everyone except Mieryia. The poor child lost everything her family, her tribe, her trust. Left with only one decision she knew what had to be done. She shrouded the land with her power, demolishing everyone and everything. No one knows what happened to them. Some say they were reincarnated or just disappeared completely, we may never know the truth." she drew in small but deep breaths.

"Thank you mother." I said, I didn't know what to say.

She smiled.

"I suppose your wondering why we came back here."

"Yes, I am."

"I came for a blessing. I need you to bless this sword." I said snapping.

The sword floated in the air and she looked at it confused.

"Where did you get this?" she asked.

"From the realm of Shadows.." I said.
