SACRED TAMARA

PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

The town of FRAZION was in terror. Every being -even the animals- ran to the temple of Idore to seek refuge from the evil sorcerer, Zika. Zika was a young man who was banished from the town by the chief for practising dark magic. Rumors had it that he had been summoned by the spirit of darkness which dwelt in the Cave of Death, it was there that Zika was gifted the power to destroy.

But now, Zika was back for revenge. Every hut in the town was set ablaze, every statue built in the memory of the past chiefs of the town were demolished and the present chief was killed along with his family.

"What use would you be to me, old man? " Zika asked with menacingly. The priest of FRAZION was held firmly by Zika's guards. The old man was in no way scared of the possessed young man in front of him. In fact, he knew that his time on earth was up but he still had one last duty to perform .

"A child will be born" he started as his eyes turned completely white with no trace of his pupil. "Hair as white as snow, skin as pale as that of the dead, cheeks as red as crimson and lastly, soul prepared to defeat the almighty zika" he Prophesied. "You can have your way for now but by the goddess' will, your end is near!"

Zika's eyes were filled with rage. He stood up abruptly from the throne he was sitting on and threw his sword at the priest. The sword pierced the priest in the heart and he died immediately but with a smile on his face. "Find me all the pregnant women in the town. Bring them all to me, no one can defeat me talk less of a child!" he ordered his guards.

The pleas of the four pregnant women filled the air. They were all tied together and their respective husbands were crying like babies. Everyone in town was present as they were all brought to the palace against their will.

Zika smiled triumphantly, he signaled one of his guards who immediately poured a steaming liquid on the women. Zika went closer to them and sprinkled a powder on their bodies whilst casting a spell. In the twinkle of an eye, the women started screaming -they were being burnt by an unseen fire. Soon, the ashes of the women was all that was left.

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! " Zika shouted in excitement. "Now listen to me you fools, no man must share intimacy with his wife not to talk of getting her pregnant. Any couple caught in the act will suffer a more painful death than this 'ashed' women " he said sternly then walked out.

But somewhere out of FRAZION, in a city called Pennsylvania.... Rain was pouring down heavily. It was as if the heaven was relieving itself of the burden it carries. A woman was rushed into ST. BARNUM'S HOSPITAL and was immediately taken to the ICU. she was in intense labour. Her husband was sweating profusely as he encourage her to 'push'. In less than five minutes, a baby girl slipped out of her vagina, it was nothing like the doctors ever experienced. Like a jinx, the rain stopped at the same time and the brightest sun ever appeared in the sky.

The medical team and the woman's husband were astonished by the beauty of the child.

"Hair as white as snow, Skin as pale as the dead's, Cheeks as red as crimson, I shall name her... TAMARA" the woman said weakly as she admired her daughter. And to the chagrin of everyone, the child grinned at her mother.

"But doctor, isn't she supposed to like cry?" the woman's husband asked but before the doctor could reply, the child broke into a contagious laughter. The medical team looked surprised and then... they all burst into fits of laughter not really sure what was going on.
