Dried lands. Long hot season. People of the village are worried for their lives. Not just because of thieves that maybe come to wipe what their last resource of food and WATER. Among people there heard a story that happened to one village months or years ago. Everyone search the houses until they caught Me. Offering to God to give water. A ritual infront of me. Shouting to them this will not help them. Why would I have to experience this? I barely open my eyes when they lit the fire in the middle of nowhere away from the village I used to live. ALONE.

I fight because I'm terrified to die. I'm too young to die. I'm planning to have a family too. Planning to Leave this village to find what's my future is. If I was kill today. There no way I would do that. The rope for horses was tightly round on my hands and body. I can see their eyes, looking at me like a mere piece of paper to just be thrown away. I'm human. I'm just a young woman who barely talk to anyone. Why they would have to do this to me. I didn't do anything WRONG.

My heart pounding on my ribs as I can feel my skin started to react on the temperature of fire. I beg for my life. They don't listen. I laugh innerly mocking myself. Asking. Why my life have to be like this? I tried again. Begging with all my life just to stop this. The face of them seemingly no choice but to do the ritual. The realization hit me once I take my last step. I'm going to Die.

Her body was burned. She wear to any God if she's giving a chance to live again. Human would never dare to touch or lay a finger to harm Her. She died in that state. A small tears land on the fire for the last time. Sounds of the wind came hastily. People of the village walking away from her body. Leaving her in the dried sands. Another wave of warm air touch the ground. A birds , a gazillion of birds was up in the air.

Stained by burned. A sands release a steam. Hot steam from underground make people of the village scared. The stream smoke are huge and wide conquering every empty grounds. Until it stop. Silence filled the ground. They look relax and get back from walking. A birds still in the air flying around. A sound of something is moving. Coming. Make all black ravens sing in the sky. A sand get wet. People of the village are enraged in happiness. Their prayers got heard by Highest.

It just a fraud when a huge glistering water coming on their way. They run as they can but the water took their Live's too. Their whole village along with other's nearby was now under the water. An ocean who killed thousands of Live's was now infront of the woman who they killed. Eyes like as water on the ocean. Dark Hair floating under water. She's breathing in the ocean. Watching the under village was now useless to live with. Without hesitation she turned her back and walk away. Far away as Far the water can take her.

A day passed, Weeks, Months turned to Years and years jump into Decade. A decade to Century up to Centuries. That's how long it happened. A war broke two times. Major Volcanoes erupted many times. The virus spread five times and I'm merely disturb by any of those. I learn on the way that people, Human can changed heart in instant. Depends on how you will able to tell them the truth. I found an acquaintance who will called by century society a Family. I meet them twenty seven years ago. They know the real me.

I had a second thought when I tell them the story I'm carrying. At first they didn't believe on me. Saying it was all my imagination. I tried again to make them believe. But still they haven't buying my story. Until one day when the man who teach me how to make an arrow was nearly kill by thieves. I lost my control and the water was flooded anywhere except to his side. He was shocked to see me with water eyes on me. My skin marked by water and water healed his wound. When we got home he make us pack and planning to leave immediately. He have a son and a two daughters. With them asking why we have to leave quickly. He just said that all my story was TRUE. Nothing to less nothing to add. That's when I was grateful to be in their family. They accept who the real me.
