Synopsis.
Ciara rested her head against the window and gazed at the dark stain that formed the forest around them. Her younger brother, Freddie, slept soundly beside her. His parents were silent and the radio played in the background on Dad's classic station. The deep darkness that surrounded them was pitifully silent and the road lonely. James was running behind and increasing speed. They were approaching a sharp curve but he never slowed down.
Suddenly, a blinding light appeared in the middle of the road and it kept moving forward. That caused James to veer off the road and into the silent forest. The car began to roll violently, hitting the trees. James released the steering wheel involuntarily and his arms slammed against the entire interior of the car. Lea was unconscious. Freddie, fastened with the belt, was still asleep and Ciara had been thrown out of the car. The car hit a large tree with the wheels pointing skyward. The road had been lost among so many trees and gloom. The car was wrecked. The Hodel family was silent but it had become sepulchral. Ciara was away from the car, resting in a small clearing in the forest. She watered the ground with her blood, leaving life little by little.
Some bushes to his right began to move and out of the darkness came a huge dark can. Snaking like it was made of smoke, it approached Ciara. The beast's yellow eyes gleamed as it watched it die. Slowly, a thick cloud as dark as the sky itself surrounded Ciara and the hound. The dog nuzzled her, leaving a black trail on her arm. The cloud began to vibrate and the animal melted into it.
-Sé do bheatha, bandia Morrigan! Má áit a bhfuil tú rudaí aisteacha a tharlaíonn agus tuamaí oscailte agus siúl na marbh agus a bheith ina bolg ama sa todhchaí, agus tá birthed níor chóir an bhroinn a wonders ionadh nó cibé do Tá tú an Banríon na speictream, an bandia Bán cath, an fiach dubh dubh throwing di caoin reo an anam cladhaire thú. Iarraimid ort a shábháil ar an bás óg an éilimh sin.- "His life, Goddess Morrigan! If you have strange things happening and you open graves and walk among the dead and become the womb of time in the future, and you have given birth, the womb should not surprise you wonderfully or what It is because you are the queen of the spectrum, the battle of the White Goddess, The dark black who throws game, his cry freezes the soul of the coward. We ask you to save the young woman from death, from that claim. " Vibrant voices came in chorus from the great cloud that surrounded Ciara. - Oh, Mhór bandia! Sábháil an iníon na gealaí. - "Oh great goddess! Save the daughter of the moon."
The cloud seemed to condense more and more and made sudden movements. Then another voice came out of the cloud.
- Sábhálfaidh mé an bhean óg seo ach tá praghas ar gach rud. Beidh ar an mbean óg seo déileáil le hainmhithe an dorchadais go deo agus nuair a thagann an t-am, caithfidh sí rogha a dhéanamh idir cinniúint chun troid ina gcoinne nó sástacht leo.- "I will save this young woman but everything has a price. It was not easy to take her away from Carman and his children. This young woman will have to deal with the beasts of darkness forever and when the time comes, she will have to choose between a fighting destiny against them or of satisfaction with them. "
After those words, Ciara's body seemed to absorb all that thick cloud. The stain the dog had left on her arm was gone. The cloud disappeared and with it every wound she had.
