The Unique Weed Among The Beautiful Flowers
Chapter One

It was mid-day. I didn't know what I wanted to do. The sabers told me that it was my birthday today. Birthday… I sighed. I knew that birthdays were supposed to be special, but what could I do to make it that special? We never did much on birthdays in my family. We would either hunt or play some extra games were everyone took part. But after that day when I had been spying on a Night Elf child, my definition of "birthday" was completely changed.
The young female Night Elf woke up with her parents entering her bedroom with food and a nice decorated box in their hands. The little female would eat the food with great happiness and excitement. Then she was given this box. I could hear her father saying "A present for you, my little princess" as he smiled towards her with the look of excitement in his eyes. The female quickly pulled of the nice decorated paper that covered the box, and opened it. She picked up collar. The collar was made out of moon pearls. I had seen those pearl before. It is said that they have a magic power.

The girl was jumping of joy and she gave a big hug to her parents and kept on thanking them for the gift.
Later that day, the little Night Elf family had invited guests. Friends and even some more family came to their house, also carrying these presents. After greeting them all, they invited them into their house and gave their presents to the little female. They ate more delicious food, and after they would sing and play games. That whole day seemed so wonderful even though there were allot of stuff going on. It seemed so fun.

Of course, I couldn't expect something like that from my saber family. After all, they did all they could – they did the only thing they knew would mark the day. I didn't blame them. Still, I wondered what it would have been like if I were with my real parents. Would they do the same for me? Would it even be better? Or could it be worse? Would they give me gifts and delicious food? I sighed again. I never got to know them. Not even how they looked or smelled like.

I sensed someone coming from behind me. I recognized the calming smell of the saber leader. It was him who I saw as my father. I turned to welcome the Elder Nightsaber.

"Do I really look that sad to you that you had to come and see how I was?" I said with a little teasing smile. He closed his eyes as a greeting, and he said smiling "Well, perhaps not that sad, but you made me worry a little". I looked down, a bit disappointed that I'd react this way when it was my birthday.

"I am sorry that we can't offer you things that the Night Elf can when they celebrate birthdays." I looked at him, surprised that he would apologize for something like that. "But Father, of course I do not expect you to be able to do that! I might not be a pure Night Elf, but honestly! I will always happily accept whatever you have to offer me on my birthday! I just… I was just thinking about what it could been like if-" I trailed off, a bit unsure if I would hurt his feelings by mentioning my real parents. I might not be his biological daughter, but he had always been taking care of me along side with his mate Diana. He gently shook his head. "Don't hesitate speaking of you origin. Of course I understand that you are curious about your past and where you came from. And you are old and mature enough to take control of your own life, and it is time for you to know everything we know about you and your real family."
I sat down beside the big Nightsaber. I knew this could be a long story. Orion, himself lay down beside me and coughed slightly before he started talking:

"21 years ago a new group of Gilnean refugees came to Darnassus. Among them, a very special, female Worgen. Worgens are werewolves and can change their appearances any time, but this one had horns on her head. Horns of a Draenei, I heard the Night Elves whispering. Apparently her father was a Worgen, and her mother was a Draenei.
It was an unusual combination of races, and because of that she was marked as the "ugly hybrid" with dirty blood. But she managed to adapt herself to the Night Elves routines and traditions. Soon she met a man, an elf who was also a hybrid. He was a mix of Night and Blood elf. He too was low in the social rank. Many didn't like him just because he had Horde in his blood. But they two fell for each other, and after a while they were about to have you." Orion looked at me with his wise yellow eyes. I was totally into the story; I never thought that I was that mixed. Orion moved his eyes to something far ahead as he continued:
"They did have a Priest when the female gave birth to you. I heard that you were born in your Worgen form. But they also discovered how much you were mixed, so much that the other citizens said that you were a cursed child of evil blood.
Your parents were very brave and strong; they decided not to listen to what the other had to say about you. You were their new life, their new hope. But after some months, they couldn't cope with all the harsh words and rumours any longer. They wanted to move away from the Darnassus and try to make a house deep in the forest. They packed and leapt out at night in hope not to be discovered, as they would vanish into thin air from the city.
But they were followed. They were followed by a little group of Night Elves. Night Elves that were obsessed with being on the Alliance side, doing old rituals, and prey to their Gods. Night Elves who didn't accept that hybrids existed."
Orion paused a bit, looking at me again to see if I was really prepared to hear it all. I nodded; I knew what he was thinking. Still, my heart sank in my chest, as I feared to hear the worse.
"Your parents were attacked and brutally killed." His words were cold of anger. "The Night Elves might not have tamed me as many others, but I, like the entire forest, felt the same sadness and the anger of the Night Elves solution for the hybrids. Everyone knew it was wrong and unfair." A tear silently trailed down my cheek as I closed my eyes and leaned my head against my father's shoulder.
"Even though we sabers had nothing to do with it, and…" He almost hesitated to admit it: "and still knew what the Night Elves wanted to do… We were too late to rescue your parents…" he said shamefully. I blinked when more tears came rolling down my cheeks. "I couldn't bare it! I couldn't bare to just stand by and watch when I could feel the entire forest hold their breath of tension wandering if Fate would really allow this!"
Even Orion shed a tear. "We chased and injured some of the Night Elves, hoping that they would rot in shame of their actions. We were only able to rescue you."
He sighed, trying not to cry. He might be old, wise and noble, but he was a big softie too. "I am so sorry Aika! I really tried!" He said hoping that I would forgive him. I cried silently, but I didn't blame him at all. I knew he did all he could, and I am very grateful for everything he ever did to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, crying in his chest. "W-will you forgive me?" I stopped for a moment and looked up. "Of course I do, Father! You have done so much for me! You gave me a home, fed me and cared for me! You protected me as if I was your own cub! I will always forgive you!" I said and continued crying.

After a while when we were able to talk again, he said: "We continued spying on those Elves. The other citizen discovered their awful crimes, and even though not everyone like the hybrid family, they were all very sad, and some even ashamed because they though it was best for them if they never existed. Those Elves were sent to Stormwind in the Eastern Kingdoms as prisoners for the rest of their lives." I actually sighed in relief. Relief that they were caught and sent to prison. Relief that I didn't have to fear that they would hunt me down if they were to know about my existence.
"Thank you, Father. It was tough to hear, but I am glad that I got to know the truth. Thanks again for everything you've done for me." I said smiling gently.

"I am glad to see that you can handle it as good as this. I longed fear for this day, that you would hate me."

I shook my head in disagreement, "I could never hate you Father." I kept on smiling as I repeated my own words again and again in my mind. Both Orion and me turned our heads as we sensed Diana's smell.

"Have you told her everything now my dear?" The huge and powerful Frostsaber walked silently towards us, greeting us by slowly closing her eyes and slowly opening them again. "Mother" I said happily as I understood that they had planned to tell me this for some time.

"Yes my beloved. And she is accepting it so much more than we ever expected!" Orion said proudly. Diana rubbed her face against his and gave me a lick on my cheek. "Excellent my dear. I always knew that you were special, my little Aika."

I smiled, proud that such powerful, noble and beautiful beings would care for someone like me.

We went home to our cave, hidden among trees and bushes. I suddenly stopped walking as questions bounced around in my mind, eagerly to be asked. I turned around to face Diana. "Do you know my parents name?"

Diana looked slightly surprised and she hurried replying; "Well yes, in fact we do. Didn't we tell you?" I shook my head.

"Your mothers name was Zena Moon, and your fathers name was Xenocrates Alcmene. It is a funny coincidence that "Alcmene" means "moon". So your full name was then turned to Aika Moon."

"I always thought it was you who gave me the name "Aika""?

She gently laughed "No no my dear. It was chosen for you right after you were born. Do you know what Aika means?" She said with a teasing smile.

"No, not really…"

"It means "love song"! Which fits you perfectly since you love to sing!"

I could only look at her with an expression of wonder and surprise.

I really loved my name now, even though it was not originally giving by the sabers.

As the night was closing in, and the forest got darker, the sabers prepared themselves for hunting.

"Aika! Are you joining us tonight?" It was the Mangysaber Tryphon who asked.

I slightly shook my head "No thanks, I'll stay here and guard the cave. Have fun!" I waived as he, Felina (a Dawnsaber) and the son of the alpha couple; Pantera, disappeared into the night.

As I waited for their return, I lay down gazing up at the tiny stars that were spread all over the light pink sky.

I thank you Fate for being born. Even though my parents didn't raise me, I was still raised by the best parents this world has ever known.
