Chapter 1: Misery
The Child of the Gods.
That's what they all dubbed me and regarded me as. Eversince that fateful day when I was only an infant. Faran and his wife had been stargazing. They saw what looked like a shooting star coming down from the vast curtain of the night. Faran saw me and was shocked that I wasn't hurt at all, he then decided to raise me as his own daughter and child before my pretend mother had my little brother. Faran presented me to Lalivero and already the people thought of me as a gift from the gods, fallen from heaven. That's how it all began eversince then everyone has worshipped me, kissed the ground I stepped on, prayed to me for miracles for a message to the gods. That's how it was.
I never liked it.
Ambitious girls would die to take my place because of all the glory and attention, they would love to be me; however, they just do not realize the downside to all of this which I am experiencing right now, everyday and maybe for the rest of my life...it was like I was only a subject to use to get them to be at a high integrity as the gods, I was only there to answer their prayers and bring them miracles. I am not treated like a normal little girl who just wants to play with all the children instead of being stuck with priests and priestesses, I just wanted to be loved as a girl and not a child of any god... Of course they all had high expectations for me "act like a real honorable child of the gods, learn the aspects of the gods and their mysterious and holy powers..." it was only all about the gods...
Everyday just gets worser and worser.
I needed Faran to help me, to help me be a normal child for once and actually spend some time with my family. While we were having another study of the gods and alchemy local citizens told me (but to see me obviously) of my mother baring a son - a little brother for me; alas, unfortunately the priests would not even let me have any time with my own sweet little brother. They even had the nerves not to tell me! I am infuriated...
"How could you not tell me all of this? Is it because my studying is more important than my family? That was more than a week ago! I cannot believe this I am never returning from this place ever again!" I protest then a sharp pang of pain crosses my left cheek.
"Hush little god child, you may be worshipped outside this sanctum but in here you are only a child and you will respect all of us here do you understand that?" the priestess retorts.
My anger still remains and it will forever - especially to these priests and priestess who think they are better than others, and those ignorant Laliverans praising and praying, it's like being trapped in two worlds one where I must praise the gods and treat the priests like gods, and one where I get treated like a precious goddess. And one time there was this acrid smelling man who came up to me while I was about to walk home; the people form a crowd between me and him.
'How sad, the people here only stand here and watch, they think I can protect myself from anything, they only care about my powers, how selfish of all of you...' I thought miserably.
"Ya call yerself Child o' the Gods and Bringer o' Miracles? Let's see one right now huh? Oh look at me I'm the Child of the Gods" he was starting to annoy me with his taunting. "You disgust me..!"
I react calmly and say nothing; however, the people of Lalivero were angered, then suddenly there were three big and strong men capturing him and taking him to prison.
"That oughta teach you to insult our saviour, imbecil!" one of the men states.
'So they do care about me but only because I keep them safe, but they shouldn't have done that. You fools are the bad people. That man sees me as who I really am - an outcast, yet you punish him for seeing me and being honest with himself. You people always know how to bring my spirit down some way everyday. I want to get away from here...'
I rush as quickly as I can to my home and family, my despair and frustration only growing bigger and bigger everyday. I need to see Faran now before the priests take me away from them again.
I hate this life, as I run, fresh wet tears flow down from my face. The rain came down faster than it should, it was like it was reflecting my feelings. The people of Lalivero move back to their homes for cover. None of them see my tears but then again I wasn't even allowed to be touched by anyone... more tears come down to my face. I wasn't heading for my house anymore, my misery was leading me away from it. Where? I do not know...
