Destruction and Loss
Flames lit up the night sky in the village of Sagia. The wind howled a song of melancholy as the townspeople frantically fled from their home. Five year old Hanako Tekai stood watching the chaos with her father Sato, her small frame barely visible against Sato's towering were standing outside the town square watching their homes, their lives being destroyed.
Sato's serious disposition was outlined by his long grey hair, that hung midway down his back and a pair of solemn yet soft golden eyes that glinted through the thin frames of his glasses. All they could do was wait until the danger was passed. Choking back tears, Hanako clutched her father's hand tightly. The flames turned her short brown hair to a glowing orange color. Sato stared wearly ahead into the flames. Sato gently let go of the child's hand and crouched down to look at his daughter. Taking a deep breath he wiped her face with his strong hands, soothing the child as she cried. Sato paused struggling to search for the right words, grief and sadness overwhelmed his heart. Finally, Sato wrapped his child in a warm hug and spoke quietly, "Listen to me Hanako I know you don't understand, but I have to leave for awhile". Hanako heart seemed to drop in her chest and a wave of nausea swept over her. Tears of rage and confusion pricked at her eyes. "Why? Why? Don't leave me alone!", Hanako replied sobbing. At this Sato smiled and ruffled the child's hair saying, "I'll come back for you I swear on my honor. Now exit through the main gate before it is too late!" Hanako refused to move and everything seemed to stop and Sato seemed far away.
Losing patience, Sato picked the child up. "Please listen to me you're in danger!" When he received no response he walked briskly to the exit and hid the child in an alcove, where one could still see the main square. Hanako clutched at her father frantically, but Sato just placed her hands in her lap. Knowing he had to hurry, Sato stood up, taking an emerald crest that depicted a carved image of a bird and a heart wrapped around each other off his finger. He placed it firmly in Hanako's hand saying, "Remember you are never alone, be strong". At that moment the flames seemed to flare up. Hanako's vision blurred as the last thing she saw was her father disappearing into the unforgiving flames that swallowed the night sky.
