Prologue

"Daddy, can you tell me about mom?" The little girl looked up at her father, full of hope. Even if she had heard the stories many times before, she still loved hearing about her mom. "But honey, I've told you about her a lot of times. I don't think there's anything you don't know." He could see the disappointment in her eyes, and quickly changed his mind "Ok sweetie, how about I tell you about your grandmother and your mother?" Before he was finished talking, her whole face lit up with a bright smile!

"Ok, so your grandmother came here from a very faraway place, many years ago. There was a big war going at the time, and she was supposed to supervise that everything was going according to plan. What she did not see coming, was a young man."

"That's granddad, right!?" The little girl looked up at him with stars in her eyes.

"Yeah sweetie but he was on the opposite team, and they were fighting against each other. Still, your grandmother found him interesting somehow, and wanted to figure out more about him. So she snuck out of her duties one night, and managed to sneak into the base where he was. The security was really tight, but she was very skilled at sneaking. She found him, and followed him until he was alone. Then she showed herself.

Once their eyes met, both of them knew how they felt. So they kept seeing each other in secret, and then I was born. I just like you, was never able to see my mom but I know she loved me anyways!"

The girl looked down for a second, and he knew, even if she had hear all of this before, it still made her a bit sad when it came to the part about his mom.

"Years later I was lucky enough to meet your mother!" He continued. "It's a little fun, because she was from the same place as your grandmother. She was visiting to check something in the area, and was supposed to leave shortly after arriving. I saw her walking around in town, and thought she looked lost, so I asked if I could help. She was so beautiful, just like you sweetie! She had crystal blue eyes, and her hair was like the finest silk you can imagine. You also have the same mark on the back of your neck as she did." He stopped for a moment as his thoughts wandered back, and felt a slight sting in his heart. Then a voice brought him back to reality; "Tell me more!" The little girl repeated as she looked at him with big eyes. "Ah sweetie, it's getting late. Why don't we continue this tomorrow?" The little girl looked at him, pretending to be annoyed "But daddy, this is the best pa-" She was interrupted by a loud sound coming from outside. "What was that!?" She jumped up and ran to the window, so he followed her but couldn't see anything. "It was probably just someone playing a prank or something outside sweetie, don't worry about it. Now, bedtime." He tried to send her a stern look, but he knew he wasn't good at it. Still, the little girl only smiled, and gave him a big hug before leaving for her bedroom. "Night daddy, I love you!", "I love you to sweetie."

After a while, he heard someone outside, and the door was kicked in. A tall, buff woman entered the house, and looked around. As their eyes locked, he froze. Her purple gaze was cold, almost haunting. "Look human, I know there is a gem here. Where is she?" He automatically held his hand to his upper arm but he knew it wasn't there anymore. "I don't know what you're talking about miss but I think you should get out of here before I call the cops!" Of course he knew exactly what she meant, and he knew this day would come. He had just hope it wouldn't come this soon. The big woman looked down at a strange device in her hands before shifting her gaze upwards again. "Look, I don't want to make a mess. I'm just here to get-"She was interrupted by her device, now pointing towards the location of the bedroom. "Two? I though we only sent one." She said, and started walking towards the bedroom door.

As if something clicked inside of him, he ran in front of the large woman, and blocked her path. "Please, don't take her. She's my daughter!" He knew he couldn't take the big woman on, he was only a mere human after all. "Out of my way!" He refused to move. "If you don't move, I'll just force you to move!" As she said this, she summoned a giant spiked club. "No! I don't want you to t-"

If someone had been outside that night, they might have heard a loud crash from inside the house. They might also have heard the scream of a little girl, shortly followed by a giant woman carrying said girl on her shoulder as she walked away to a big metal contraption. Only to see it disappear towards the stars. But nobody was outside, nobody knew what had happened, and it all faded away at the dawn of light.
