Fate of the child
Set at the beginning
On a night when stars shone brightly in the azure sky, insects were chirping,
wind was dancing and carrying the conversion of a couple in a secluded mountainside
lake. The lake was like a huge mirror, reflecting the glittering sky making
the stars to become an easy catch. A couple, not exactly a couple but a group
of three people, consisted of one man, one woman and a baby girl. The man had
a pair of amber eyes with hair tied in a high ponytail and four bangs fell on
his face while the woman with sapphire eyes, long silky raven hair flow over
her waist, was carrying a baby girl with the exact same eyes and hair of the
woman. The couple was busying arguing about the baby girl's future.
The woman tightened her hold on the baby girl and cried. "No! I mean no, Saitoh. I cannot leave our baby living all by her own in this lake. She is too young! I can't do this to her! This is too cruel!" Saitoh, the man with amber eyes, was trying to persuade his wife to do so by explaining the situation. "Listen Tokio." Tokio shook her head. "Please listen to me, Tokio. Kaoru has to live in this lake by her own. If she isn't, she cannot live over tonight! You must understand that she is very different from us. She cannot live on the land normally and she is too weak to do so."
Tears streaming down her cheeks landing on the baby girl, Kaoru, who was the center of the topic, blinked her big sapphire eyes and glanced at the mother. Tokio was struggling between her motherly love for her daughter's wellbeing and life and was unbearable to leave her daughter away from her side. "But…but can't you use your power to help her? Why must she be living in this lake? Can't we build another lake by our house to house her in there? I don't want to be far apart from her and she will be very lonely… "
Saitoh sighed. "Dear, it is not that I don't want to use my powers to help her, just that I can't. My powers have no effect on her. This will only prolong her suffering and not curing her. Like I have said earlier, she is not like us. She is half dragon half human. She can't live as a human or a dragon normally. Her body structure is very different from us and is too weak to stay with us. The only way is to let her live in this magical lake that have powers to help her growth. Don't worry, this lake is rather isolated as there is not much people will be passing by here and she will be living here peaceful and safety from other people harming her. " He was not heartless and cold-blooded though he was a dragon. He actually cared for his child and was just like his wife unbearable to leave his child. But that was out of no choice. The child was a mixed blooded of human and dragon, which was normally, could not survive after a week of birth. In order to save his child, he had to place her in the magical lake, which had a special healing effect that could protect her throughout her growth from any deformation and maximize the possibility of surviving.
"Kaoru? What happen? Kaoru…please answer your mother… Kaoru? Saitoh…please…what happened to Kaoru? Why she is shivering and coughing…"Tokio panicked when Kaoru out of a sudden started shivering and coughing heavily. Upon hearing, Saitoh quickly placed his now amber glowed hands on Kaoru's forehead but her coughing did not cease. Her cough got worsen by each time and blood slipped out of her mouth. Tears flowed down Kaoru's cheek started to turn red. Cold sweat broke out on her skin and turning pale with veins popping out. Her condition worsened as time passed.
"Saitoh… how come she is not recovering? She looks so frail…" A pair of sapphire pools looked at Saitoh, pleading him to help their daughter. "Tokio, we have to place her in the lake now… if not she will surely die…" He hugged Tokio with his child, voice cracked with sadness. "Now please…Tokio…" Tokio pushed Saitoh away and placed a kiss on the forehead of Kaoru. "Let me see her last round…" She cupped her hands around Kaoru's face, wiping away the blood tears and blood from her face, taking a last good look of her daughter before handling to her husband.
Saitoh transformed into his dragon form. Black scales around his body, five claws on each hand and with amber eyes. Tokio placed baby Kaoru on his fore right-hand and he dove into the lake immediately. In the lake, there was no other living species at there. Crystal clear lake water allowed slits of starlight to go shone through. Saitoh swam around looking for something, swaying his tail to move about, hands closed together to keep Kaoru warm. Though there was dim starlight, but as Saitoh went deeper the only source of light was gone. It was dark and was very hard to use normal eyes to see; yet Saitoh could see clearly and swam towards his destination quickly with ease. In front of him was a huge clam opened on the bed of the lake, he placed Kaoru in there and closed the clam. Saitoh chanted some magic spell and an invisible barrier covered over the whole clam to prevent people from opening the clam if they managed to swim to the bed and see the huge clam. He swam swiftly to the surface of the lake and transformed back into his human form. Saitoh hugged his solemn wife and consoled her that he promised to bring her back to visit their daughter once in every period of time.
Little did they know that as years goes the lake would not be as peaceful as before …
