Once, a very long time ago, two great kingdoms; Maviki of the dark skinned and Elionis of the fair skinned, were united but fate brought about a 100 year Blood War. Divided by hate but desperate for peace, the kingdoms agreed to never crossover into each other's territories. 

No trade or intermarriages were to be done so imagine the horror that be fell Eclipse of Maviki, when she gave birth to an albino girl. 

Thrown out of her village due to ignorance, Eclipse wonders in the darkest forest. It is there that she is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice that drastically changes the life of her daughter, Martina, and ultimately leads to the death of millions. 
                                 ...

She gazed into her brown eyes and cupped the side of her face. "I am not possessed. I'm the monster they created."

"And who I'm I?" She shakily asked, not daring to break eye contact, even by blinking. 

Bringing her lips closer to hers, she whispered ever so tenderly, "You are my love."

I Am Not Possessed

King Daniminga met the crowd in the scorching sun. Martina was already down on her knees and guarded by three warriors. The rest of the warriors shoved the people back with their spears. None of them were allowed to enter the royal grounds. 


Martina wiped her tears away and sobbed quietly. Her grey eyes were swollen and her running nose was stuffy. She felt helpless and perplexed at all the hatred thrown at her. The emotional torture she was forced to endure made her understand why Eclipse and Breenis never wanted her going there. 


The people were the coldest she had ever met. Whenever she caught a glimpse of them, she saw nothing but disgust and in anger. There was absolutely nothing that she felt she could have done to cause them to despise her so much. 


King Daniminga approached Martina and the villagers waited in anticipation. More and more gathered around the royal palace hoping to get a glimpse of Martina's impending fate. After all, they needed something to gossip about.
