Somewhere in Tides…

Somewhere in Tides…

Women were screaming and children were crying as panic filled the air and the flames of their burning homes reached the night sky. Blood flowed into the streets as the violence continued. No one of the small province knew what was going on and why they were being attacked tonight…no one except one woman.

"Please, don't take her!" the woman cried. The woman was a beauty with pale sunshine hair, pale skin and amber eyes. She was also small and frail from hard labor. Behind her was a very small child much like herself except the child had crystal blue eyes and creamy tan skin.

"She's cost me too much trouble," replied a man

"I won't trouble you anymore;" the woman cried "We were moving away tomorrow anyway."

"It doesn't matter, she has to be taken away," the man growled

"No, please," the woman begged

The man roughly grabbed the child and dragged her out of the house into the mayhem outside.

"Mama," the child cried loudly "Mama,"

The woman could only sniffle and sob as she watched her only child being taken.

Two heavily armed soldiers stood outside the door awaiting the man and the newly captured prisoner.

"Your orders, sir?" the guards questioned

"Burn that house down with that demon and everyone inside" the man demanded "Burn it to the ground!"

"Mama!" the child screamed "Let me go!"

As night turned to day the smoke cleared and the last of the small buildings and houses were resolved into ashes. Many lives were destroyed that night and one child was sent off to a hellish void.

Ten years later…

"Mom, Dad, I'm going to go get Layla," said Nabu

"Take your time," said his father

"Not to long though," said his mother "I want to see my future daughter-in law"

"Mom, enough," said Nabu
