Out Of Time [ English ]

[ THE BEGINNING ]

Peaceful and joyful aura radiated throughout the room, it was a joyous night for both King and Queen of the kingdom until a servant ran into the room telling the Queen and King of the devastating news "Your majesties!" 

"What is it? Do you not see that we are busy-" the servant cut the Queen off saying "I am truly sorry but this is an emergency! There's been a sign of the plague in the south village!" The King immediately rose from his seat surprised by the sudden news "What?! But the plague hasn't shown up in 40 years! How come it suddenly show up now?!" The servant grimaced and replied "we don't know your majesty but half of the village is alread infected" "tell them to block the pathways! no one can come in nor come out of the south village, send a few doctors there" the King immediately went to action telling the servant what to do "I'll send a maid to take care of you while I'm not here" the King said to his wife before leaving the room to address the problem. 

The Queen anxiously sat in her seat holding the bundle of baby. She looks down to her baby and caressed the baby cheek, she stopped as sees something on the baby neck. She took a closer look and realized it was the cursed mark, she gasped as she remembered her mother once told her of it, she saw the resemblance from what her mother told her and the fact that it was the shape of the moon makes it even obvious that it wasn't a normal mark. She didn't know if this one was the plague or the miracle as her mother never showed her which one is which.

The baby woke up and cried thrashing in her arms, she rocked the baby trying to calm it down. When the baby cries dies down she stared longingly at the baby and whispered "I'll protect you.. my little light... my Aralyn" 

My dear do not worry

For i shall be your light in the dark

When you are scared

Just think of me

For i shall be your guidance 

And lead you back to the light 

My dear do not worry

For you are safe in my arms

When heaven calls you to me

I'll assure you, you won't have to worry anymore 

As she sang the lullaby tears escaped her eyes. the lullaby was the only reminisce of her mother, it was pass down generation to generation. She would make sure that her precious baby was safe and no one would know about the mark, but how long can she keep it a secret?
