A story of love and betrayal and revenge. The characters I used here are from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (owned by Dreamworks) and Tresure Planet (owned by Disney (I own nothing!). In later chapters they'll be reveled, but you are free to guess. Enjoy! :) The song is Mordred's Lullaby by Heather Dale (She owns it, I don't!). I only changed one word to fit the story.


Prologue

Light blue eyes watch a young boy of three sleeping, cuddled into his pillow. A hand touches the boy's brown hair and lips kissing his brow. The boy sighs in his sleep and snuggles more into the pillow. The mother smiles and softly sings a lullaby.

Hush child, the darkness will

Rise from the deep and

Carry you down into sleep

The mother leaves the room, still singing.

Guileless son, I'll shape

Your belief and you'll

Always know that your

Father's a thief

Memories of the boy's father appear in her mind. She once was a goddess, but became mortal to be with her lover, a prince who sailed the seas.

And you won't understand

The cause of your grief

But you'll always follow

The voices beneath

The two lovers would sail unto the horizon to their hearts content. The ex-immortal soon became pregnant with her lover's child and waited for him to return from a voyage. She waited on the docks, on the day he was to return, excited to embrace him and tell him the happy news. The shipped docked and her lover appeared on the ramp and she was started to run to him but stopped. Appearing next to him, and holding his arm, was another woman. The man looked out to the crowd, spotted her, and walked to her with the woman on his arm. He introduces the woman to her as his wife and queen.

Guileless son, your spirit

Will hate her the flower

Who married my

Lover the traitor

The ex-immortal cries over the betrayal of her ex-lover. She had given up her powers and immortality to be with him and now he's bound to another; another who isn't bearing his child! She places her hand on her slowly growing stomach and smiles wickedly.

And you will expose

His puppeteer behavior

For you are the proof of

How he betrayed her loyalty

Time passes and the mother is watching her son grow as she fills his soul with dark, twisted emotions of hate, anger, and a lust to kill.

Guileless son, each day

You grow older

Each moment I'm watching

My vengeance unfold

As she watches her son, she dreams of the day her son killing his father and her immortality returning.

For the child of my body

The flesh of my soul

Will die in returning

The birthright he stole

The mother watches her son sleep, now older and stronger. She smiles and sings softly in his ear.

Child the darkness will rise

From the deep and

Carry you down into sleep

She whispers, "You're ready".
