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

Queen Senedi shut the door and leaned on it. 'What did you hear?' she sternly whispered at Martina. 


Martina vigorously shook her head, 'N-nothing, y-your highness.' she stammered. 


'Liar!' Senedi raised her voice and it prompted Martina to drop down to her knees. Senedi pointed at Martina, 'Tell me the truth.' 


Martina put her hands together and fearfully shook her head, 'Please, I just got here.' 


Queen Senedi relaxed her face at the sight of Martina's tears. She closed her eyes and walked away from the door. Martina was still on her knees when she sat by the window. Queen Senedi poured herself a glass of crystal wine and took two sips whilst Martina kept her gaze low. 


'That will be all for today. Go home.' Senedi said and set her glass on the table. 


Martina got up and bowed. Without another word, she left. All the way downstairs, Martina thought about what just happened. It was clear to her that Senedi was very protective about whoever was in that room.
