Flames of The Forgotten
Fire. A burning village, Ila. All houses except one are burning. A figure clothed in darkness and shadows stands amidst all the chaos. It starts walking to that one unharmed residence.
Inside the House
Inside the house there were two figures, a child was kneeling next to what looked like her mother who was laying on the floor. The elder woman looked deathly pale. The child had tears streaming down her face and she was clutching the older woman's hand. The older woman was talking...
"By night and darkness
My cover is blown
Though it is my element
I cannot feel it
My power is dwindling
And I know it
I'll not be able
To protect you...
Any longer
You must flee
Find the wizard
Find Gandalf
He'll help you
You have to be strong
I cannot protect you
But your not on your own
The have the One Power
Though it cannot be used
You have to do your best
You have to be strong Nali
You have to believe
That when all seems lost
There is always something
There is always a way
Believe in yourself
And you can be free
Free of HIM
A barrier shall be formed around you
When I die Nali
My soul will create a barrier around you
No matter how bad your wounds are you
Will not die
I cannot let you
Before your time is up
This is what I have brought upon this place
This is my atonement
Flee now Nali
Find Gandalf....
My daughter...
My hope...
Our hope...
Nali....
Go...Quickly...
I love you Nali...
Never forget that...
Go.....
Nali...."
The little girl now identified as Nali kissed the woman's forehead stood up and left the house through a door in the back. She took with her a bag with her weapons. Her faithful sword was as always strapped to her side. It's name is Tsubaki, it has a black sheath and is made of mithril engraved on the sheath is:
"To my beloved daughter
May this sword travel
and protect you.
Her name is Tsubaki
Love,
Papa"
