I ran on and on, after a while the screams from the village died away, but I did not turn around, I only looked ahead.
After a few minutes, I ran out of breath and began to walk.
The child had become very quiet, I looked down at her and she had already fallen asleep.
I am scared, but somehow I also feel safe...a strange feeling.
My mother told me that this child is the chosen one. I believe her. My mother would never lie to me.
The prophecy must be fulfilled. My parents often talked about it, but I never thought I would help fulfill it.
A few hours have passed, I am now standing in front of the black mountain. I never really realized how huge it was.
It will take years to get to the top, one couldn't even see it from down here.
It was far above the clouds.
I looked at the child and she was awake.
She smiled at me and reached out her hands.
I smiled back and hugged her.
I feel kind of sorry for this child. I know that she will not have a childhood. This mountain is full of monsters and other evil creatures.
I had to learn how to defend ourselves and when the child grows up I have to teach her too.
I set off and began to climb the mountain.
