Prologue
~~~~~~~~~~~
Alicia had had to choose between her husband and their child - a girl they'd named Farore. It had been difficult but however frightening her actions were she couldn't possibly abandon her. Partly it was because the child had a strong grip on her, so strong she felt anguished. The next day after the night they'd left the seemingly helpless infant in the middle of a dark forest Alicia had escaped her husband and come back for Farore. She found her in physically weary state but was able to make her healthy again. When Farore's strength came back Alicia's fate was sealed - forever to be bound as the slave of this evil being.
For two years she took care of the girl, meeting her harsh demands for exotic food and so on. She could move her mother around like a puppet with some kind of telepathy Alicia had never known to be possible. Some days Farore acted out as a normal child but she would turn to a monster in an instant. When Alicia couldn't give the girl what she wanted she threw enormous tantrums that always ended Alicia being hurt or the house being completely messed around.
The mother grew tired. Only at night if Farore was sleeping deep enough could she have a few moments of freedom. At those moments she would miss her husband and wish she never had given birth to the creature on the wooden cradle next to her. She would sneak in the kitchen, open a drawer there and grasp a sharp knife. Then she would step back over the cradle and raise the knife aimed in the child's heart. However, she never reached further without being struck by the emotional shield Farore had created around herself. It caused the real Alicia battle with the side that was controlled by Farore. And there was no doubt which side was winning.
She had the same dream all over again. There was a hooded person who told her he would come to take the child and protect her from evil. 'They' would raise her and she would become a warrior for good. She hoped with every fibre of her soul it would be real.
Then on a frisky winter morning Alicia woke up. There was something strange in the air - something unusual. "This is the day," she said to herself. "He's coming to get her." It was snowing outside - the first time in thirty years. It had to be a sign!
She got up and looked at the dark blonde-haired child sleeping next to her. Her daughter was still asleep. "Farore, wake up" she told her. "This is the day I've told you about - the day you'll begin your journey!" Farore opened her eyes and yawned. "This is the day!" She smiled. As she was so young she didn't quite understand what her mother meant but she always thought it would be something really fun. More fun than messing with her mother's mind. Alicia dressed her up and let her play with her toys while she headed for the kitchen.
While making breakfast Alicia a shadow appeared at the door. She yelped. Her heart was pounding like crazy even though she'd expected someone. She crept silently behind the door and listened. A manly voice spoke: " I'm here for the child. Please let me in". How could he know she was behind the door?
She opened the door partially and her eyes met a handsome middle-aged man with a brown hood. He looked her straight in the eyes and somehow she knew she could trust this man. She opened the door and let him in. "Would you like to have some breakfast?" she asked. He nodded politely.
They were sitting at the table, Farore running around the house, ignoring them completely. "I knew you would come. I've put her ready to go. She's now in your responsibility." The Jedi was a bit surprised to notice Alicia had no trouble at all giving Farore away. "I hope you realise that you might never see her again. She might not even remember you. Are you absolutely sure about your decision?" he asked. "Yes" she replied. "I think it's for the best."
"I'm scared of her. She does things she shouldn't be able to do. I don't think I could ever be in control of her. I can't resist her will. In my dream you said you would protect her from evil." She shook her head. "That's something I cannot do." They ate without saying another word.
"Let's go then, Farore." Alicia handed the man a little pouch that included some things important to Farore. Alicia kissed her on the cheek and hugged her for the last time. "Behave well, my daughter and never give up the good in you." "Thank you for your time and co-operation" the man said. Farore grabbed his hand trustingly and so they begun to walk away. Farore didn't even look back.
Alicia closed the door. She felt relief on her chest. Now she would get her own life back. She was free of the child that made her life full of fear. And without any guilt as the child was taken care of. Finally, free!
But why did she feel so empty? She leaned to a wall and slid down on her knees. Wasn't there anything else in life? Maybe she could after all bring her up. Farore was her child after all! And there was something alarming in the man as well...
She stumbled up, sprung outside and looked in every direction. Despair filled her mind. She searched for the two a long time but she couldn't see them anywhere. The child was gone. It was too late. She fell down to her knees and wept.
As time went by she could gradually break the hypnotic state Farore had left her in. She could examine her own life fully and take a new turn.
