The dark sky was dotted with stars, the grass was wet with water from the light rain storm. The village was quiet, all except the sound of the fountain in the middle of the town square. A young boy sat on the beach. He looked at the town under the water. So beautiful. It glowed a bright color, and he could see a few of the people and the mermaids. They worked late at night, and he never knew why.The sound of the fountain stopped, and the town got a cold chill. The hair on the boys arms stood up. He turned to see behind him, but saw nothing. He turned to look back at the sea. The water got cold, and the lights underwater were gone.
He stood, suddenly scared. He went to turn but was face to face with a woman. Her hand went to his mouth. "Speak, scream, make any noise and I KILL you. Understand." It was not asked as a question, it was a statement. He nodded his head. The woman was tall, and she was clothed in the worrier clothes of the dark kingdom. She held a dark sword in one hand.
The sword was familiar, he noticed. The blade on the sword was made to kill demons, or any type of thing that wasn't human. And that was the thing, they weren't human. The people of the water kingdom were mostly mermaids, or wood elf's. The woman was definitely an elf, a dark one. Her skin was a light grey, with purple like veins. She had a purple like glow to her.
"Now tell me kid. What do you do here? Where do you work?" She hissed. "I-I um work, I work at the temple..." She smiled. "Perfect."
She grabbed the boy by his shirt, and dragged him to the temple. He noticed that the grass wasn't wet anymore, at least were she walked. He also noticed that her hand was hot. They made it to the temple. "Who are your Gods or goddesses?" She stood in front of the temple. "Oh, um- Poseidon and Apollo."
She took her sword and lifted it above her head. She brought the sword down and stabbed it into the ground. The green grass started to change color, the houses went from the white and blue colors to blue and black. The sand changed into a red and orange color. All the buildings became dark. The castle on the water started to change.
"Now your gods will be Poseidon, Hades, and Ares. Tomorrow they will wake and find what has happened, then there will be a war and we will win. You will be reworded. Goodbye, until next time." And just as quick as she was there, she was gone. But her sword stayed.
It was a sign of war.
