LEGENDARY

MY LIFE

" Katana!",My mother called "Get inside now!"I stood outside frozen I didn't understand why she was being so dramatic like am eighteen I can take care of myself its not as if I would die just standing outside taking in the beautiful smell coming from the flowers in the early morning.
"Katana ,come inside the dark one is approaching can't you see nobody is outside!",mother said almost running out of breath.The next thing I knew I was pulled into the house.
"Sit down katana",she said.
"Why I was just sitted outside ,its not as if I was doing anything wrong".
"Katana",said a thick deep voice that belonged to my grandfather ,"dont you remember all those stories i used to tell you,the world is dark now and our saviour is not yet born.katana our village is in danger and the gods have spoken to the king and they have chosen two people who will save us from the tragedy that will befall us".
"I don't understand grandfather",
"Listen katana,the dark one is the son of God Imman,he turned against him and now roams the earth the gods want to destroy him ,he is threatening the peace that once roamed the earth,so the gods have assigned two people among all the people on this entire earth to save us from the tragedy".
"Why dont they just use their powers and destroy him and save us all the drama",I said sarcastically
"Katana,the gods are bound by an eternal oath they made,they gave man free will which means they can't interfere with the things that happen on earth,katana the dark one is Immans son which makes it difficult for Imman to even paralyse the powers that the dark one has,and now the dark one is in our village roaming looking for who the chosen one is,you need to be care-",my grandfather's words were cut short when a presence filled the room.
Three creatures appeared in the room.
"Mortals",one of the creatures scoffed, "I wonder why the gods praise them more than us."
"We came to deliver a message",said the other creature with a long white beard and grey hair,"the gods have chosen your daughter katana as the saviour and she is to be taken to the training grounds on the fortnight, jadea,"pointing at my grandfather,"you shall help her recognise her powers,you of all mortals have the most knowledge about the gods".
"We shall take our leave".the other creature who seemed not to be interested in this whole charade of delivering a message to a mere mortal ,who according to him do not deserve anything good.
And in a split second the two creatures were gone.
I didn't understand a single thing the creatures said.
"Katana I presume you have heard what the two messengers have said-",
"Those were messengers? !",I interrupted.
"Katana don't interrupt me let me finish",
"Yes grandfather ",I responded lowering my head in shame.
"You are the chosen one and in you exists great powers in about fourteen days you will meet your partner,understand katana that once you meet your partner you have to work together because each of you carries the others strength."My grandfather said almost looking powerless ,"kitana ,you have to be strong,you have to wake up,this is nolonger a game",
"Papa stop scaring the young girl,katana go to sleep",my mother said.

Without a word I stood up and left to my room,I just couldn't comprehend the drama ,is this how my life will change will I never be that normal girl again?
Since I turned thirteen I knew I wasn't like any normal kid because I had the ability to lift people with just a mere thought of lifting them.
But this ....this was much more than I could decipher ,I was beginning to loathe my life more and more each minute I thought of the creatures that had appeared in our house.why did the gods choose me? I wanted to just have a normal life,get married to just a normal guy,I didn't want all this and then I drifted into darkness and fell asleep.
"Kitana wake up!".
I felt something shaking me so rapidly.
"What is it?",I said sleepily
"Katana please wake up ,the dark one has sent his guards to capture you!,wake up katana",
I woke up looking at my mother,she grabbed my arm and led me outside the window,I stood outside and mom grabbed my shirt.
"Katana your grandfather has been killed and he told me to wake you up,katana run..run and don't look back run and save yourself from the dark one",she went back into my room and got my jumper ,"wear this it will be cold for the rest of the year,keep running and keep safe until the fourteenth day.May the gods be with you my daughter,"she got a necklace that lay on her neck and gave it to me wear this it was given to me by your father it will keep you safe, now go!",before I could say anything to mother she closed the window and I heard shouting and cries from my mother.
And then all of a sudden as if somebody poured cold water on me I realised I had to run,I had to run away or I will be dead.
I took to my heels when I reached a nearby tree I looked back and saw the house I once called home being set ablaze together with my mother and grandfather,my legs felt weak and then reality struck I was alone.
I ran into the forest I ran as fast I could with mothers words replaying in my mind.
I was exhausted from all the running but I had to keep going I had to be as far as I could from the village as far as I could from immans son.
