My mothers lifeless body layed under a wooden burning beem. Tears ran down my face as the world around me began to darken and the sounds of the screams became distant till there was nothing left. A light tug on my shoulder and im brough back to reality. I look at my brother then hands me a note.

"Mom was holding this, its adressed to you" he said while choking back tears. I softly took the note and read:

My darling Nixion, if your reading this it means i have failed you. Im sorry i couldnt protect you. Befor you read any more take my necklace and my ring. Give the ring to your brother so now that if you were to be separated you will still have a way of finding each other. It can only be taken off by you and only you. Nixion and Nelson i love you both so very much. I need you to promise me something, dont ever reveal your identity to ANYONE! The king is looking for you and if he finds you he will use you as a weapon of war. I love you and please, be safe.

                          ^Mommy^

I started to cry more then kissed my mothers head goodbye. Handing the ring to Nelson after i put on my necklace i grab his hand and look at Azlari, my dog. He nodded and grew 3 times his size. My brother looked in amazment. Azlari motioned with his head for us to get on.

"Hold on tight, you dont want to fall off Nel" i say as i nuzzle the stained furr. Lucky for me he heals pretty quickly so he was able to run. Holding on tight i looked around at the once beautiful and peaceful village that was recuced to rubble. Thankfully we escaped without getting cought but now we had to find a place to call home since our last home was destroyed. I still wonder why the king would want to use me as a weapon of war. I guess thats another question to be answered another day.
