Battle of river Ins part 4

The Milene family was very known for their assassins. When Dorothy was born her birth was kept a secret from everyone. From birth, Dorothy only knew the harsh reality of an assassin.

She lived her entire life in the chambers of the Milene mansion learning different assassination techniques and trying to be able to manifest her divine power at the earliest as possible. Her own mother was relentless in teaching her forcing her to endure horrible treatment and training.

When Dorothy was at the age of six she still wasn't able to manifest her divine power and her mother started to grow impatient. The mother started to use pain to force out the divine power.

Dine power can manifest itself in many situations and one situation was when a being was under a large amount of stress. Stress could be caused by many different things, but for the Milene family pain was the most common tool.

A proven, but horrible way to manifest divine powers. Dorothy had to endure different kinds of torture that her own mother made her go through. Her mother left burn marks on her body, left he without food and water for days, made her hang from chains just so Dorothy could awaken her divinity.

For two years until she was eight, she had to go through living hell. The only room she had ever been was the lower chambers of the Milene mansion. At the age of ten, she was finally able to manifest her divine power. Her mother didn't even praise her for the feat and just saw it as essential.

At the age of eleven, Dorothy was given her first assassination mission. She had to kill a local farmer who had instigated people to rebel against their lord and the lord of the area had hired the Milenes to take care of the problem. Dorothy easily killed the man but felt remorse afterward. The remorse faded away when the villagers spotted Dorothy standing on top of the man's body. They attacked Dorothy forcing her to flee for her life. She was almost killed during the mission but still was able to kill her target. Still, her mother refused to praise her.

To the age of fourteen, Dorothy had gone to numerous assassination missions. She had grown accustomed to death and gore. She had grown immensely powerful and even surpassed her own mother. She was still a loyal lapdog of the Milene family hoping one day her mother praising her and let her come live on the upper floors of the Milene mansion.

After one mission Dorothy returned to the mansion. She was forbidden to enter anywhere else than the lower chambers but on that day the entrance to the lower chambers was locked. She tried to call someone to open it but realized that unless she broke the door she would stay outside. She decided to sneak through the front door to get back to the chambers.

As she passed through the window she spotted her family inside the warm house. She saw her two twin little sisters being with her mom. Her mom was playing and smiling in front of her two daughters. Her mother looked like a completely different person.

Dorothy looked at the smiles of her sisters.

"Those are my sisters right. They are having fun. Why can't I be having fun? I am also your daughter. Why can't I also have fun? I also want to have fun with my family...... Why can't I be happy," Dorothy said to herself in a dazed state.

Dorothy broke through the window. She scared her entire family. Dorothy walked all drenched toward her family.

"Mother…..why can't I also be happy," Dorothy asked from her mother.

Instead of comforting her own daughter Dorothy's mother just ordered her to go back to the chamber immediately. Again Dorothy asked the same question from her mother with her mother saying the thing with an even louder voice.

Her mother was about to slap Dorothy, but Dorothy cut her hand off before it hit her. Her mother started to yell in pain. Dorothy then started to cut all her family members except her two little sisters. She killed everyone in the mansion from her grandparents to even the servants. Everyone who knew of her existence.

She was about to kill her two little sisters Ana and Ene, but stopped looking at their frightened faces. She then decided to let them live. Let them be the faces of her family and lead the assassins when in fact she was the real leader of them.

"If I can not be happy, no one can be happy," Dorothy said.

Doreen shined her shield on Dorothy turning her completely into stone. As the gaze of a frightened Dorothy was frozen in stone Doreen lifted her spear on top of Dorothy. She struck Dorothy shattering the stone frozen body into tens of pieces.

Doreen then just walked away, leaving the stone pieces on the wet rainy grassy ground. No one knew Dorothy and no one will ever remember her. The only memory of her now is just a bunch of stones on a hill.
