She looks so beautiful.  With her blonde hair and green eyes, she can be mistaken by an angel. I  literally can't take my eyes off her.

Tears are now streaming  out of my eyes, because my baby girl will be snatched away from me in  hours. Alex gave her a stunning name, and I like it very much. And here  she is, my beautiful angel, smiling in my arms, clearly having no idea  what is going to happen to her. To me.

To every one.

I can't fight against the choice of the elders. I can't argue. I can't speak.

Instead, I have to bear.  I have to suffer. I have to keep quiet. Sometimes I just blame the  Elders for choosing a baby for a great destiny. A baby girl without a  mother to support her. Without a parent or a guardian to tell her that  she can succeed. To tell her that terrible things are going to happen.

If i can't fight against  the consequences, I can at least fight against my tears. With my other  hand, I wipe the tears off my puffy face, exciting the baby, causing her  to move her arms. Her green eyes are the thing that hypnotizes me; the  color, the glamour, the glitter.

Will they be used against good? Against evil? Will they be used to serve good? Or to serve evil?

'Calm down, Anastasia,'  Alex says. He has been reading my thoughts. Me and Alex, my husband,  have the ability to read thoughts. We have achieved our planet's dream;  and our power is a rare blessing. Our daughter unfortunately was to be  born Oxcaira.... a type which a baby has to be put in a fire.

The fire  will become her power; and she must use it against evil. But, scared as  we were, we didn't want our baby to be put in a fire; or have fire  powers. We wanted her to have mind power, a power which has to take  lives to proceed.

And we, as being her  parents, have to sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of our daughter.  Alex is trying his best to soothe me, but he knows he also scared.

After giving one more  smile, I kiss my daughter and I put her in the magic cradle. Together,  Me and Alex join hands and we recite the ancient spell. I turn my gaze  to Alex and almost cry out.. Half of his body is gone, but he seems  calm. My time is coming too.

Trying to avoid my baby's smile, both of us disintegrate to ash.
