The white ashes fly around me from the burning trees surrounding my small village. I sprint as fast as I can away from the terrifying scene of all I've ever known being destroyed before my eyes. I run to the edge of my village until I am stopped by a man with sharp golden-brown eyes, and white-blond hair. I look to the side and see my mother being held captive in the hands of this stranger. "Mother!" I cry as I reach out to her. "Tamra", she says holding my hands and looking at me with serene eyes, "I love you, and I want you to remember that. I will always be with you in spirit. Never forget who you are my shining Amber, now run!" I look at her in shock and fear as tears welled up in my eyes and realized that this would be the last time I will ever see her again. "I love you too mother, goodbye", I say with a soft, frightened voice. I turned to face up at the wicked man who held my mother and glared at him with pure hatred, memorizing his face and vow that one day I will find him again and avenge her. He glares back at me, his eyes piercing into mine, "You heard her, go!" I slowly back away, stealing one last glance at my defeated mother.
I turn around and run, knowing that the last memory of her and I was here, surrounded by trees, blood-curling screams and a man who's eyes are as cold as ice. My tears fall down in steady streams as I run away from everything I've ever known, everything I've lived for and everything I've ever loved.
