Author's Note: Much to Hisota's dismay, she doesn't own the original ideas for this story, as it sole belongs to Christopher Paolini. The ideas of control of elements of Hisota's original character belongs to Dragon of Twilight and were tweaked by ObsidianTheatre, as was the plotline in the fan fiction.
It is not something that I can recall so easily, a sweet memory. It drifts within the creases of my being. I cannot remember her face but it is her voice that is still etched into my mind.
"Dycentra," she cooed, "my little Dycentra. Will you forget me as even the storytellers have forgotten us?"
Levka would seat me upon his lap then and tell me about her. I couldn't understand why he would though. Her death was swift and years past, so what point was there in his reminiscing?
"Levka, you mustn't abandon her. She will be all you have left."
Levka's death was of my own doing and yet, I do not plunge myself in the time that has past. I do not snivel within regret nor sorrow. But Levka…. his eyes would search the horizon, though his face was frozen, under the ice the river flowed – far buried under the iris - but still, his emotions flowed.
"Dycentra, long ago the Nymphs, our people, lived freely with the ancient races of Alagaesia. We were never at peace though. The Nymphyn had a thirst for power. Undoubtedly you have inherited so much from your father Dycentra. Be forever cautious my sweet, it is that thirst for power that leads to an envious flame. When the Elves bounded with the Dragons, the Nymphyn could not withhold them. To bind the great dragons with the magic using elves? Where would that leave our kind? Thus began the 'Race of Eyes'. It was common knowledge amongst the Nymphs that our lifespan could grow by the replacement of our eye. However, when the ability of being able to use two cursed powers was at stake the Nymphyn was at bay; it was chaos. Do you know the key to using two irises? It is to steal the eye of our own kin. The 'Race of Eyes' led to the destruction of the Nymphyn. Those that obtained the two irises would fight the Elves in the hopes of an omnipotent power. Alas, the allegiance between the Elves and Dragons was far too strong. We are a diminished race, Dycentra, it is why the last of the Nymphs live in fear of each other. If ever you and your brother cross the path of another Nymph, they too will pay any price for your eye."
I did not, and do not, understand why she was determined us to be the prey.
"Mother, but if we were able to get the eye of an Elf? Or better yet a Dragon or even a Shade?"
"Dycentra, to chase after a Dragon is asking for death. And to take an eye of a Shade, that is death. The human life passed as soon as the spirit took the body. So to take the eye of the Shade has no value to our kind." But she did not mention the Elves. No, it is because it is possible, especially now that the Dragons are no longer plentiful to protect their precious alliance. Yes, I am no longer the prey. Just as a hawk in the sky, I will lock Arya in my sight. And then, who could stop my talons from piercing her heart?
