Akira

Wake up, Akira, said her mother! It's almost time the moon comes out. Akira put her hands on her eyes and rubbed it. She must have been 10 years old then. Still very much a child. And a toddler in her mothers eyes! Your friends have started their basic training, she said to her! I will go mother, said Akira sheepishly! Her mother left her to herself, trusting she would do what is right. She always had done so, Akira! Doing what is right. From the moment she was born, she had that look in her eye, which most parents yearned for. But not a hylin! It was that spark in her eye, that her mother came to loathe, the moment she looked it! No! she shrieked. Crying terribly as she ran out of the room. You see the new horn baby had the eyes that sparkled goodness! And every hylin that was born with that look, was put away in the dark forests. Either they were adopted by the not so evil dwarves or were killed by the cruel forest herself! The Hylin adopted by the dwarves returned at the age of 6 back to their homes. And when they returned back, they were blessed, so said the hylin's with the eye of hatred and vengeance.

Akira lay on the cradle, that night and the other hylin very close to them stood by the small baby! They were waiting for the orders from the queen herself to take her child to the dark forests. They waited and waited and there was no sign of the queen! It was almost morning and the moon was about to hide herself! The hylins decided to carry the baby to the forests by themselves as it was customary. " The dark forests must consume the baby before the moon hides" it was said centuries ago! As they carried the baby on their arms, the doors swung open and a teary eyed queen presented herself before the brigade! No, she wailed in anger. I shall not let this happen, she said. We have no other choice, said the hylin in unison! How dare you speak against my words ? said the queen furiously. They were stumped by the rather irrational behaviour of the queen. But they understood that it was the mother of the baby and stood there speechless. But nonetheless, they had no choice but to walk towards the dark forests! They took a step forward and the queen fumed again , threatening them of their lives now! Why does a hylin have to be born with eyes of hatred and vengeance , she asked them. You very well know the answer, replied Fumora, the very trusted aid of the queen and the counsel. No, I don't know,the queen said in a naive manner! If I have to repeat something you already know, so be it, said Fumora! " Ebery Hylin needs to be born with hatred and vengeance because the world demands it". Any sign of weakness will be lapped by the men and the dwarves and the others, I dare not speak of. And more so , the darkness requires it. Do you not know it? asked Fumora as her eyes turned to terror and anger at the same time. The queen understood it, but she could not glyphs her baby up. For a moment her eyes went soft. Fumora and the others took a few steps again. No! She shouted that shook the whole planet, it was said. Sent tremors everywhere! Her eyes turned yellowish purple and the Fumora and the hylin had no choice but to leave the baby alone and run for their lives. "Cursed by the blood of the Dwarven kings" they said and ran. When the eyes of the Hylin queen tuned yellowish purple, it mean that the dwarven kings blood has entered her blood stream. And she had no control of herself. She would hunt down the Hylin one by one, until all were dead or until the curse left her.

As the hylin ran and cried " The curse of the dwarven prince" the bell tolled and the hylin hid themselves. They went and shut their doors and latched it. The men stood in cover and were proud that it was the first time that they felt more powerful than the women! Do not let her enter, they all screwed at their husbands. As the bell continued to toll, the queen with a sword and bow in her hands, started her hunt! Fumora was brave and stood in front of her and tried to stop her! " I don't want to kill you" said the queen in a dwarven demon voice! You may have no other choice, said Fumora and took her bow out. As she took her bow out, in a split second a sword pierced her! Right through her heart. Fool! Said the dwarven king in his ancient voice. As she fell, the queen jumped over and sniffed for hylin blood!
