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

Senza put out the lamps in the living room and picked up his daggers. Everyone else had already gone to bed hours ago but he chose to stay up sharpening his daggers. It had been a few weeks since he saw Eclipse. He and Dingii had discussed in the afternoon that they were to pay her a visit sometime after the next week. Senza dreaded the thought of having to wait another week but even he couldn't deny that he needed to recover. 


Senza got into his room only to drop his daggers to the floor. He could neither keep his jaw up nor blink his wide eyes. Nila's chilling smile only made him cringe at the dryness of his throat. The scent of incense hit his nose like a hammer forcing him to rub on his nose with his arm. 


'What are you doing?' Senza asked in disbelief.
