Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Squeal to THE IFTINIL ISHRAQ (BRINGER OF LIGHT)

The wind howls, the tree sways, the loose house top sheets clatter and clang, the open windows shut with a bang, and the sky made night of the day, the streets were empty, door closed, the sky darkens and the sky final let downpour.

As the inhabitants of the village were warming themselves up in their respective home,

A woman in her early thirties was being chased in the streets, she held a bundle so close to her chest as she ran for her dear life,

The heavy rain wouldn't allow one to hear the cries of an infant with her as she ran,

Finally she found herself in an ally, she was soaking wet and was shivering, but before the blink of an eye she was surrounded by armed men,

"Give it up Hajna, give it up" said one of the men who seems to be the leader of the troupe,

"It, you called my child an it" she screamed in terror as she looks round,

"The child that will bring the downfall of the high king, is a monster and i shall call the mosnster it" said the man,

She let out a laugh and said "you dare try to stop the foretold prophecy, you fools, fools like your leaders" she spat

"Give it up, you are surrounded and i promise you will go free, just give us that thing"

"Never" she said adamantly "i fought and killed your men for days, i was on the run for days, what makes you think i will relent now Gabar, am not that of a coward" she said panting with a cackle

"And nor shall we give up" he said with loath,as he brandish his sword "you are already weak"

"I maybe, but not weak enough to protect my child from you evil men, and she shall live to stop the evil in the kingdoms, because she is the one born with the tatooed red raven and she shall prosper" with that she let out a piercing  scream, resulting in lighting and thundering that striked her and to their horror she burst into flames, and it died out immediately,

The rain had stopped, and now the air smelled of burnt flesh, she was slumped on the wet ground, the captain went forward to check on her, and on turning her over, he was shocked to see her and the child burnt with no life in them,

"She killed herself and her child" he said aloud,

"Foolish woman" he spat and turned to the other men,

"Send words to the seven kings, she and the said monster are no more"  he ordered, the troupe dispatched themselves without futher hesitation and left him standing near the body, his face was no longer that of victory but pain and sorrow.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After days of travelling on his horse he finally arrived at the desert in the cold night,

an older looking woman with a white staff,  stood by the tent he approached, she stood with her head held up high, she wore a sky blue tunic on a loose white trousers, her hair was in a knot and on her forehead was a round shaped pearl stone stuck to the skin, her pupils were white and the iris were Azure blue, she carried an air of spiritual powers around her, and from her nose down to her chin was masked by a pure white veil,

He came down from the horse, with a sling hanging on his chest,

"I failed" he cried staggering towards her, she was unmoved by his actions as he sprawled before her feet, "she died, she killed herself and the other twin" he cried "i couldn't do anything, i couldn't safe her, my beloved Hajna"

"And the other child" asked the woman still staring at the horizon, her voice was ful of Authority,

"She survived, she was covered in ice when the fire struck"

"And that knowledge" asked the woman coldly

"No one, no one knew they were twins, no one knew the other survived, just me" he said eagerly,

"Is that remorse Gabar, is that" she asked for the first time looking down at him,

"I regret my actions, Azura, please please help the other twin, help the child and keep it safe, you are far far away from all the kingdoms, please keep her safe" he pleaded touching the woman's feet,

"You are breaching the trusts of the high king placed on you" she asked with a hint of humour which disappeared as quickly as it came,

"Yes anything to erase my mistakes, my shortcomings, i will do anything, please Azura keep her safe" he said

"Fine, i will do as you plead, where is the child" , he stood up and carefully removed the sling and with care handed over the sling with the child in it to her,

she used a hand and collected the child and allowing the sling to fall of, the sleeping child's bare body was revealed, and there on the girl's back was a tatto of a huge red raven with wings open and head tilted with pride, one wing expanding to her waist and one wing stretching to the nape of her neck,

Azura, waved her hand on the tattoo and it disappeared, sensing his confusion

"It's a disslusion enchantment, it hides away the tattoo for now, because with the tatoo visible i cannot guarantee her safety because i don't live alone, you know that"

He nodded and stood up, "you have done alot of good for bringing me the iftinil Ishraq it means the the bringer of light and hope, the kings gather in the high kings kingdom to celebrate but they await their hero, i will provide you a portal to the outskirts of the tomn to not arose questions of your where abouts" she said  as she used her staff and pointed to an empty space, an opening  appeared,

"Farewell Gabar" she said as he  turned away and entered the portal, and then the opening closed, she looked at the sleeping child once more and entered her tent, only to appear in a beautful sand community, it was like a city but in the desert, instead  of houses, huge tents with beautiful coloured lights were hunged around them, it was the total population of not more than 350 people.

Even the streets were lit with lights and there at the far end of the streets was the beautiful forest of the community,

Azura entered another tent and gently placed the baby in a cradle,

"Is it wise to keep her here" asked Yalina her trusted assistant as the two watch the baby in the wooden cradle, who has a rose quartz gem stone with a heart shape on her forehead,

"Yes Yalina, she belongs here, only we
can keep her safe for the mean time, time will come when the disslusion charm won't work in her tatto, and then the kingdoms will know" Azura said staring into the opening serving as a window to the tent,

"I can feel her powers" said Yalina,

"The child is destined for greatness, and the saviour of our kind" said Azura,

"I hope so, because the evil king have done enough, they need to be stopped" Yalina said, just when the baby opened her eyes revealing her emerald bright eyes shone.
