Prologue
It was noon and the sun was at its highest point. It looked down at the small village, which seemed deserted except for a single family. A baby's cry pierced the silence that cloaked the village and an eagle in the sky answered it's cry with one of it's own. The eagle flew away fast, carrying the news of the birth to a person on a grey horse far away. Another heard the cry and flew back to its master, in a dark land crowded with evil. He would have to wait a while before his nemesis would be useful to him, but he was prepared for this and launched his plan into action. There would be enough time to complete it and still be able to keep an eye on this new born.
Inside the hut, the baby was washed and laid next to the mother who was exhausted from the labour but yet radiant at seeing her firstborn. The mid wife who had delivered the baby asked what her name would be and the new mother replied that she would be named Awena Alaw.
