Eliana (Part 1)

May 13, 1950 -5th Era-

      Brian Sun, a fearsome king started creating his first disciple. As ready as he was to share his throne, the ritual was something done from generation to generation, He mustn't make a mistake. As carefully as he worked sculpting Eliana's tiny little hands and arms, he noticed something was off. The unborn princess needed her royal birthmark, The burning sign of the sun. One of the rules of the making of the child was, you can choose where the special birthmark will be pressed on. A lot put the design on the wrist, some on the arms, and most on his or her back. Well Brian Chose a very un particular spot... her behind. He turned the sculpture to it's stomach and started painting the birthmark. Once that was finished, he turned her back to her front and started finishing the last touches. And there, he was finally finished, He wiped the sweat off his forehead using his arm. Brian gives Eliana a gentle smile and a sweet kiss on her birthmark. With that done we can bow our heads down because the princess of the Sun has been Born. Brian holds his child dearly to his chest looking down at her beauty. Suddenly, Henry, Brian's slave burst into the room "Is that the her??!!!"
"shhhhhh..." Brian replied. "Keep it down Henry. Go to tell my people that Princess Eliana has been born."   As soon as those words came out of the kings mouth, Henry sprinted out of the room, out of that castle, into the village.

     The small baby was sleeping soundly, with her father's bed next to her golden crib. The room was dark, the sunlight carefully covered by silk curtains. The door creaked open, and a dark figure crept into the room. The small child stirred in her sleep as the figure grabbed her. The voice spoke softly.

     "I know. I can't be taking you, but it's definitely for the best. Your father doesn't know what's coming, and I don't think he'd want to see his newly-born child nearly dead." he says. The figure told the slightly awake baby. He turned around to see the king slowly waking up. With that, he jumped out of the window holding the newborn child, as the king screamed.
