Sabrina Prez and Aiden Fisher: The Song of Sun and River

Chapter Six: Another Kid

 When they got into the village, it was full of life. People were going from shop to shop, talking, you name it. It was beautiful. But when they arrived, all eyes were on them and it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

As they walked through the village, it was eerily quiet, so quiet, in fact, it made the group uncomfortable. Everyone watched them pass and no one made a sound. They were all wide-eyed. When they got to the center, Sabrina said, "Uh, hey! I uh... I'm Sabrina. And this is my group. Eloi, Anya, Ian, and Aiden. We mean no harm." Still, everyone was wide-eyed. Then one person went up to them and took them to the shadows and the village was bustling again.

"These people have never seen someone like Sabrina or Ian before. These people just stare at you if you look unnatural," The girl said. "I-I'm sorry, who are you?" Sabrina asked. The girl removed her hood and said, "The name's Maitland. Maitland Hicks." "Okay... So these people have never seen someone like me or Ian?" Sabrina said. "Precisely. They're curious. They learn by staring. Sometimes for days," Maitland said. "Okay... Wait. You're actually kinda different. Your hair is like mine but different colors and the same is with your skin and eyes," Sabrina said. "Yes, well, I have heterochromia. It's when I have different colored eyes. I have vitiligo for my skin, and I'm not sure about my hair. But I plan on figuring it out one day," Maitland said.

"Aight, well before we figure that out, we need to figure out how to communicate with these people without the stares," Eloi said, looking at the people. "Well, we just need to cover ourselves," Maitland said. "Okay, how do we do that?" Ian asked. "Disguises," Maitland said. "Well, we already have disguises on. So I guess this'll do," Eloi said. "Alright. Just put them on properly then," Maitland said.

So they put their disguises on properly and went out. They walked around, and this time, no one stared. They bought some food with what little money they had. But as they were about to leave, they heard the sound of Mrs. Perez's voice saying, "IAN!! I will find you!!" They immediately turned around and looked at Mrs. Perez covered in mud, leaves, and sticks with messy hair. The people of the town attacked Mrs. Perez. "Looking like that is a terrible thing here. If you look like well... that, then you get attacked. C'mon. Let's go," Maitland said, turning around.

They left the town and Maitland stayed behind. But Aiden turned around and said, "Why don't you come with us? We're going to Mt. Olympia to reunite with our real parents, which are gods, and we could use someone like you on our team." Maitland thought about it for a bit, then said, "Alright. I'll go with you guys."

So with a new person on their team, they traveled to Mt. Olympia. They wondered what Maitland had a passion for. So Michael asked, "Do you have a passion for something, Maitland?" "Hm? Oh yeah! I do, actually. I guess the best way I could put it is the good in the world," she said. "Alright..." Michael said. Then he noticed a marking on her neck. "There's something on your neck..." he said. "Hm? Oh yeah, I've had that since birth," Maitland said. "What is it?" Aiden asked. "A black and white yin yang," she said. "Hey! I have a green and blue yin yang! And so does Sabrina!" Ian said. "I don't have a yin yang. I'm a god," Eloi said. "I have a gray, green, and black yin yang," Anya said. "So that's how we find the kids of the gods!!" Michael said.

So they figured out that Maitland is the daughter of the God of Good and God of Evil. The Goddess of Creation and Destruction before me created each and every one of the kids if the gods or goddesses are in a same-sex relationship. Which is very nice of her.

"So I'm the daughter of two gods? No mother?" Maitland asked. "Yep. No mother. But I guess you could count the Goddess of Creation and Destruction before William as your mother since she created you. But you have both genes of the God of Good and God of Evil," Michael said.

"So what do you do in your free time, Maitland?" Anya asked. "Eh... Not much really. I just mostly help people in need," she said. "Ah okay," Anya said. "What's your story?" Sabrina asked. "Well... I just appeared on the porch of someone's house in that village. They were curious at first but soon accepted me into their home, as they realized I was just a baby. They raised me, and all that. But they tried to get me to steal for them. I refused and turned them in. Then I was on my own and so on. You can probably guess the rest," Maitland said. "What about you?"
