The Fortress of Doom

Moothan,The Fire Rayor

"Daddy,or daddy,please get me out of here"Emily was six years old,and she was tied inside the cage because she disobeyed her father,"please,"she was crying,tears rolled down on her face,she tried to go inside the forbidden library inside the castle."didn't i tell you to never enter there?"her father said harshly,"but..but i want to find some information about the fortress of doom"so i can prove it to you daddy,that i can be strong,you always wanted a child who possessed your gift,that could make the forcerayors stronger,but i just couldn't control it,my powers could kill someone..i want to make my blood trait stronger,daddy,why can't you understand?

"you disobeyed me..that's why i am putting you inside the cage,you are a glutton for punishment"there was not a singlr trace of affection for his daughter in his icecold blue eyes,but she cried over and over"please..no..daddy.."she pleaded but the soldiers carried her awat from his vision,"you couldn't achieve even the easiest of missions in that age,you are no use to me"he said softly,"but that's why i want to prove i can be strong,prove that i am worthy"she screamed.

she rememberd her mother when they were inside the garden,as her mother was planting the flowers,"mommy,why does daddy always ignore me?"Emily said quietly,"why doesn't he love me and talk to me?"she was looking at the soft grass beneath her feet,her mother look at her concerned,then she smiled,"h,you must be mistaken,my dear,he loves you just as much,"she told"i remember,when your grand pa tried to steal you from us,your father went all the way to save you through thick and thin"

"i know,you have said that to me many times mommy,but still he always push me away,some times i wish that you haven't gave birth to me at all"she told quietly,"sometimes i wish that i am dead"she repeated again,"that i am dead.."she sobbed.

then her mom came towards her,and sat by her on the grass,"do you know how to aim?"she asked,taking a flat rock and throwing it into the pool of water infront of them,and it jumped twice before sinking it to the water,""cool...but why are you changing the subject?"Emily complained,her mom laughed instead,she is so beautiful..Emily looked at her in awe and admiring her cheery face,but i wonder why she married someone like my father,who was such a meanie!she had shiny black hair and brown eyes,but Emily had wavy hair like her father,but she was glad she had the same chocolate brown eyes,the same as her mother,

she admired her mother's hair,it was gloriously straight,"hehe,oh,Emily,for a little girl of six,you are exceptionally smart""but Muker disagrees with that,he always says that i lack in knowledge and wisdom"Emily disagreed,although reluctantly,"one don't need to know everything to be smart Emily,you might be a slow learner,that doesn't mean you couldn't be strong,here,"she handed her a flat rock like the last one,

"huh?!"Emily was confused,"just throw it,like i did"Emily nodded,and did what her mother told.the rock jumped severalyards before sinking,"wow,i never knew i could do thati thought the stone would sink."she got surprised,"yes i gave you a flat pebble,but you had thrown it just like i did,you observed me quite well,Emily,most people would have failed in first try,because they don't have faith,its in your eyes and your whole body,you copied my moves well"what's the big deal?all i did was throw a pebble,"its not about the pebble,"she read her mind,"its about you,do you know why  your grandpa tried to steal you"her mom asked,Emily shook her head,then her mother explained"its not because of revenge,not because of the half blood Emily,its because yoy possessed the essence of getarok, a blood trait of your father's clan,he needed  you badly because in his my mind,my child,you are of greatness for many years to come"with this realization,she looked dumbstruck,Then Emily opened her eyes,as she heard a voice,

"hey there,why why are you locked in?"it was a boy's voice,Emily peered,and the boy's image came into view,he had dark sapphire eyes,and shiny brown hair,but she couldn't makeout his face well,due to the darkness,"who are you?"she asked,a bit scared,"do you want me to help you?"he was  a soft spoken boy,"yes,please..will you?'she asked,as the boy tried to break the iron rods of the cage,Emily asked,"can you break that? it could be impossible"

"i am the son of the clans who battled with steel"he told,"by the way,its Moothan,i am a fire rayor,so you have nothing to worry about"he said this so easily that it astonished Emily,then suddenly something luminous was produced,when he grabbed the rods,"its my power,hopefully, i could expand it"

"but it would only burn your palms,Moothan,i cannot let you do that"she told,a bit worried for the boy,"its of  a different element"he said and stopped short,as he finally broke it,Emily finally got freed,"sorry,i couldn't tell you more about my ability,little girli must go."he told,he was handsome as well as attractive boy,he had a small pony tail,as they came into view,

"but why did you come here,you know,this is the palace grounds,no one is allowed.."but he stopped her,"sorry,i cannot explain it either,lets just say i happen to come by here"then he disappeared,"Moothan?!"she called,but it was too late,she looked at the darkness."i couldn't even thank him"as she walked away quietly,

Emily was observing her mom's photoframe in her own bedroom,which looked pretty elegent,Emily must admit,she had a weakness for cute things,which makes her quite happy,despite the tragical events of her past,"the death of my beloved mother,"she looked outside the window,at the sun shining and the ever green trees outside.it was morning,and she was wearing her lilac pyjamas,she observed her room,she had a king sized bed with lilac sheets and a pink unicorn head at the foot of the bed.it belonged to her mother once,this room looked pretty safe to her,it makes her think that no danger would ever come her way,even though the place was mostly of cream colour,it wasn't her favourite, she preferred black,for some unknown reason.

Even though,she dispises the dark pitch  black nights,ever since the night she got locked inside the cage,she realized that indeed,night can be pretty peaceful,rather than being inside of her father's castle,of his harsh judgements of her,she always crumble inside,whenever she thinks he is nearby,

why?she always asks herself,why does he hate me so much?she tried to make him happy,once when she was liittle,she thought of singing and drawing would make him value her,she always think of a new picture to draw,of clever songs to sing infront of him,eager for a pat from him,to hear his praise,"you are indeed a true force rayor,you are my child indeed,my Alia,you will become a strong ruler of Skyxia,one day,"but those words never came,she hated her name,because it was a name given by her father,Emily was her mom's loving name,so she loved it,only later she realized that her father is only interested in sweat and blood,only in fighting,in killing his enemies,so a part of her heart crumbled away along with her mother,so she hardly ever cries,

Emily then smiled as she changed to her normal clothes,she observed herself in the mirror,"i look a lot like my mother now"she smiled,relieved as she brushed her hair,"i will be strong someday,you will see mam'a,"

Then she ran outside,since today was yet another glorious day for training,she ran towards the green mist hill,suddenly she saw a shadow of someone,she immediately stopped short,who is that?
