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 sat on his throne. His faithful team of elders sat around him with their old eyes low but grey hairs exposed. On their left knees were their symbolic red hats and in their right hands were white canes. They silently whispered amongst themselves and King Daniminga looked on patiently. 


After much hushed discussions, one of the elders stood up with his right hand on his chest. He bowed to the king who nodded at him in approval. The rest of the elders leaned back and calmly waited for the speaker to air out their collective views. 


'Our king, almighty ruler of Maviki, may the gods of our land continue to bless you. May they impart even more wisdom into you for you are the entire kingdom's protector.' the elder began. 


'Speak.' King Danimiga permitted—clearly pleased by the praise. 


The elder cleared his throat, 'We all agree with you. After everything that has happened, we cannot honestly sit here and wait for Elionis to ambush us. We have to prepare for war.'
