Past Destinies
By Chang Liko
The little girl sat in a corner in her room, her arms wrapped around her knees, rocking back and forth. Calmly, she stared at the carnage that lay around her. Blood and flesh and bone littered the walls, floor and ceiling. Broken furniture lay useless. Words in an unknown language could be made out written on the walls under the blood.
Blinking, the little girl stopped rocking. Glaring around the room, her eyes began to glow as the words written on the walls began to show through the blood. If anyone had still been alive to witness the following events, they would have seen the young girl go through a sudden growth spurt as she aged from about seven to almost eighteen years of age. They would have seen the words written on the walls disappear and a black, leather bound text appear in front of the girl, open to the exact words that had been written on the walls.
Calmly, the girl – now woman – stared down into the text. Her appearances had changed drastically. Her once short brown hair now flowed to her waist and had changed color to the palest silver of moon rays. Her skin was as pale as freshly fallen snow. Set into her skin, in the center of each palm, were two black and blood red stones that gleamed dangerously. Her eyes – eyes that had once been the most beautiful shade of blue – were now black and glittered with the fires of hell itself. Staring out from the eyes of the young woman was a blackness that held a tortured innocence captive.
As the young woman took a step forward, a startling black gold dress appeared on her naked body, encasing her form in shimmering folds of silk. Frowning in confusion, the young woman bent and picked up the text that lay before her, glancing around the room in bewilderment.
Eyes widening as she realized what had happened, the young woman clutched the text to her chest as her eyes rolled back into her head and she slipped into unconsciousness. As she fell towards the blood covered floor, a gaping black hole appeared and she was pulled through it before even a single drop of blood marred her beauty.
Tear filled crimson eyes peered down at the silver haired woman. Shaking her head, the mysterious woman brushed the tears from her eyes as she waved a gigantic key like staff, making her young charge disappear into another dimension.
Walking to a pool of water, the mysterious woman passed her hand over the surface of the water, watching as an image of her charge appeared, along with the images of several well-known, powerful fighters.
"Take care, Serenity."
