Omega Wars Chronicles

Chapter 123: Faults Part 6

   Years ago in the middle of the night as little Tenya and an adult woman who bore a striking resemblance to Tenya (as an adult) resided in a small house, and while the woman was lighting the candles in the room, little Tenya peeked through the window and took sight of a Tenplar man holding his little son by the wrist while walking; the man glanced at little Tenya and out of disgust, he spat on the ground and continued walking.

  "I'm grateful my child isn't like this." The man said, "Zorabath's bastard."

  Saddened, little Tenya sat on the ground and bent her head down.

  "Mother..." Little Tenya called.

"Hm?" Little Tenya's mother said as she glanced at her.

  "Am i a bastard?... Was i born out of wedlock?" Little Tenya asked.

"No, you're not. That was just a lie your grandfather created to punish us." Little Tenya's mother answered as she resumed lighting the candles, "He never liked your father and i was the least of his favorite children, so he has no qualms doing something like that."

  "If I'm not a bastard then why are others acting like what he says is true? Why didn't any of them stand up for father when he was being accused, humiliated and killed?" Little Tenya asked.

"He is the chief and the strongest of us, so his word is law and no one can oppose him. Besides, a lot of people fear your grandfather and some don't like your father." Little Tenya's mother said with a saddened demeanor.

  "So he can do whatever he likes because he is the strongest and the chief? Is that it?" Little Tenya asked.

  "Yes, i'm afraid so. Only the strongest gets to lead and those weaker have no choice but to obey and support, no matter how cruel or inhumane they may seem." Little Tenya's mother answered, "It has always been like that even animals follow this method of leadership."

  "I just wish he didn't have to do that to my husband..." Little Tenya's mother said as her hands shook while starting down at the candles on the table, "To humiliate and kill him off like that, like some sick animal he put out of it's misery. I just wish... Yet there is nothing i can do about it. Nothing at all. I am too weak to stand up to him. Too weak to stop him."

  "This is wrong. This is abuse of power." Little Tenya said as she tightly clutched her skirt, "Even if others are afraid of him, they shouldn't talk and act like you and father did anything wrong. They shouldn't talk and act like i was born through dishonorable means. This isn't fair...!"

  "I hate them." Little Tenya said as tears were streaming out of her eyes, "I hate them! I hate them! I hate them!!"

"I hate them all!!!" Little Tenya said with anger while her eyes were shut.

  All of a sudden, the candle flames in the entire room grew massively in size, catching her mother off guard.

  "Quell your temper, Tenya." Tenya's mother said.

  "It hurts... It's hurts so much...!" Little Tenya said while tears were still trickling from her eyes, "It hurts..."

  Little Tenya completely broke down and started sobbing. Watching her daughter cry, Tenya's mother walked towards her and squats to embrace her from behind.

  "It's okay..." Tenya's mother said, "It's okay."

  "It's okay..." Tenya's mother said as tears were trickling down her cheeks, "It's..."

  Unable to convince her daughter or herself, Tenya's mother broke down too and joined her daughter. Currently in the tribe of Keigra, the humans stared at the possessed hiveling in wonder as he walking towards them, causing some of the humans there to murmur.
