Chapter 52

A bleak and painful present tainted by a tragic and dreadful past and up ahead, a dark future which seemed just as bleak, if not more so, as the present, that was the reality Ibaeran came from and had know for as long as she could remember.

“I’ll be back and once I become the Su Baera I promise you our lives will be better”, a man said to his little girl before leaving her alone.

She waited and hoped, and then hoped so more, that one her father would come, soaring through the skies with a pair of steel wings on his back, to save and whisk her away high up in to the sky to a better life along with her people just like he promised. She waited and waited, and as time pasted days turned into weeks, weeks to months, and eventually a year had pasted and soon it was time for another tournament to be held. The little girl then had to face the bitter and grim truth that had father, along with her dream and hope, was gone and would never come back.
