Long , long ago before the settlers and the colonists, slavery and apartheid, people lived peacefully and harmoniously...
Or so we thought.
The difference between the Royals and the the Gifted was vastly obvious. It was for those reasons that the Gifted were banished to live in the mountains and the cave, and they were only sought out when they were needed.
By the order of the king; All those who were born with the birthmark of the crescent moon, the sunrise or the eclipse, were not allowed to live amongst the normal people.
But the truth was that, the king feared the blood of the Gifted. He feared that people would see it as superior than that of the Royals. So he spread fear of the Gifted among the people but he kept his secrets close to his heart.
The gifted were ridiculed and treated as outcasts. Even if they were the descendants of pure Royal blood, they were still treated as less than people.
They made warm homes out of those mountains and caves. They built families and lived peacefully. They made peace and treaties with the king except for one girl, Simamukele, and this is her story.
