Prologue

"Āmāra mūlyabāna sāmān'ya bēśī hyālō," (Hello my precious little ones) A beautiful woman with blood red hair and eyes said in Bengali to her children when she returned to them.

"Sawubona mama," (Hello mama) replied a small violet haired child in Zulu to the woman.

"Marhabaan mamma," (Hello mama) replied another small child that looked a few years older than the first child, but with chartreuse colored hair in Arabic.

Both children's eye color was the same as their hair.

"I see that you both are doing well in your language lessons," Said the woman in English with a strange accent.

"I do not understand why we must learn all these different languages, when it is unlikely that we would ever use them," said the chartreuse haired child.

"Sissy, don't say that," Gasped the violet haired child to the now identified little girl.

"It is alright my son, your big sister is entitled to her own opinions," the woman told the now identified little boy. "I have you both learning these languages for a reason my daughter-"

"Then what are those reasons," interrupted the little girl, not allowing her mother to finish.

"Sissy don't interrupt mama," Scolded the little boy.

"Make me brat," argued the little girl.

"I'm not a brat, you big meanie," cried the little boy.

"Yes you are," replied the little girl.

"Nelliel, Skull stop your arguing at once," Snapped the woman.

"But mama Skull was the one who started it." Whined the little girl.

"No buts Nelliel. You are supposed to set an example for your little brother not fight with him on the smallest of things." Chided the woman to the little girl.

"But mama he shouldn't tell me what to do when he is such a little kid and i am older than him and is his big sister and therefore should listen to what i say and not the other way around." Whined Nelliel to her mother.

"I am not a little kid! And it goes either way on that," complained the little boy named Skull.

"Yes you are. And you are not even potty trained." Nelliel said in triumph.

"No I am not. And I am too potty trained." Skull cried out in indignation.

"Oh and what was that wet spot in the middle of your bed and pajama bottoms." Crowed Nelliel to her little brother.

"I did not. And you spilled my glass of water on me last night when we were about to go to bed last night." Skull indignantly cried out to his big sister.

"Yes you-" Nelliel started to say before she was interrupted by their enraged mother.

"Enough. I am tired of hearing both of you fight and argue all the time. You both are siblings, family. You should be ashamed of yourselves arguing as you both so often do. Especially on such trivial things." The woman yelled in rage, causing her two children to flinch and look down in shame. She continued softly after seeing her two children flinch and bow their heads. "Nelliel your little brother is only four years old while you are five years older than he is. Skull their is nothing wrong with asking questions. How else is one to learn about anything in this world, Chōṭa ēkaṭi (little one in Bengali)."

"Even if the questions are stupid," muttered Nelliel.

"Yes my daughter, even if the questions are Mūṛha (stupid in Bengali). Sometimes it takes what you call stupid questions to change the world," explained the woman with a slight chuckle of amusement.

"That's weird," both Skull and Nelliel said at the same time. When they realised this they started to giggle.

"Yes, well this world is Adbhuta (weird in Bengali)," replied their mother. Now we shall be at our destination in a few hours. So I want you both be on your best behavior when we get there."

"Yes mama," replied the two children.

"Hey mama," asked one of the children.

"Hmmm." Answered their mother.

"Where are we going anyway," asked another.

"We are going to see an old friend of mine," their mother told them.

A few hours later they suddenly stopped in front of a strange door with what the two children thought was strange squigglies all over it's surface.

They waited in front of the door for what they thought was enternity when in reality it was only five minutes, after their mother knocked on the door. When the door opened it revealed an old man with greyish white hair and beard. He had sharp golden eyes that does not look anywhere close to dulling. He was wearing old frayed robes that looked liked it belonged to a monk from the middle ages. He was also carrying a long brown wooden staff that looked like it had the same yet different squigglies carved all over it.

"Ah, Tallon it has been a long time since you have seen this old man. If I am not mistaken it has been a good fifty years since we have last seen each other. Eh Huntress." Greeted the old man in a wise, kind, yet gruff voice that snapped the two children out of their daze at the old mans sudden appearance at the now open doorway.

"Hey mister why did you say its been fifty years since you last seen mama? Mama isn't that old. She is like in her early twenties. How did you meet mama? Why did you call mama huntress? And what are those weird squigglies all over your door and stick? They look cool. Can I learn them? Oh by the way my name is Skull. What is your name? I like art, music, languages, and octopus'. I want to get a pet octopus one day. Did you know octopus' are considered one of the smartest creatures in the sea and they can stuff themselves into really tiny places. I like purple. Do you like purple, mister? Purple is like the bestest color in the whole wide world. Do mmmmhhhhmmm-" Skull continued to ramble in nervous excitement at the old man until his sister put her hand over his mouth to get him to be quiet.

"Skull be quiet. I don't think the old man wishes to hear you ramble on and on. By the way mister my name is Nelliel. And I apologize for the way my little brother is acting." Nelliel says to the old man.

The old man only chuckles and replies, "It is fine young lass. It is rather refreshing to hear the ramblings of you young'uns. But to answer your questions lad. My name is Fáelán. It is an old Irish name laddie. I met your mother when I was a laddie myself. Your mother saved my village when we first met. The reason your mother does not look any older is because she is not human. I called her Huntress because she is called Tallon the Huntress. Maybe one day I will tell you how she got that nickname. Those are good interests to have laddie. Yes I do like the color purple. These squigglies as you call them are small sealing arrays. Sealing arrays are made up of different runes put together in a group in different ways instead of individually. Learning sealing is not for those of weak wills, hearts, or minds. If you wish to learn it will be tedious work and will take you years to master and understand. But it is a very useful skill to have. And if you are willing to learn, I will gladly take you and your sister on as apprentices."

"Really! That is so cool," exclaimed Skull in excitement, but then asked in confusion, "But how would you take us on as apprentices? We are only visiting, right mama? Mama?"

Both Skull and Nelliel turned around when they didn't hear their mother answer Skull's inquire, to find that their mother has disappeared without a trace.

The old man could only sigh in sadness at the reactions of the two children. When they finally noticed the absence of their mother. Who had silently slipped away in silence, with tears streaming down her face in both grief and sadness, a few minutes ago. For she had no choice but to leave them with him. For he knew that if she chose to keep them with her, instead of letting them go, she would of lead them to an early demise. When her enemies would have found her. And make no mistake they would have mercilessly killed the two children without remorse. No, her enemies would have taken perverse pleasure in killing them.

"Mama? Mama?" Skull cries out in tears for his mother when he finds her gone.

"She abandonned us," Nelliel eclaimed in anger.

"Now children you're mother had a good reason to leave you both here with me. She did it bec-," Old man Fáelán tried to explain before he was rudely interrupted by a fuming mad little girl.

"Reasons! What reasons would she have had to abandon us with a strange old man." Ranted Nelliel, causing her littled brother to cry even harder than before.

"That is enough lassie," The old man Fáelán cut in before she could rant anymore than she already had. "Your mother has brought you both here to be put in my care for both you and your brothers safety. Your mother has many enemies out there that would gladly kill you both, to make your mother suffer. Now come in to eat and settle. You both must be tired and hungry from your long journey here."

"Mister not know laddie," answered the old man.

With that said all three entered inside the old man's home to begin their new life. One in sadness but holding understanding in their heart of why their mother left them. The other in anger and bitterness towards their mother and the cruel world that caused their mother to leave them. And an old man to worry about the future of two children and what kind of change they would bring to the world in the coming years.
