"Saris, please...we must hurry. She isn't safe. We have to get her to where she can live a better life. One where she can be free from this terrible fate." Said a women. She was a tall beautiful woman who had long dark hair that went down between her butt and her knees. Her eyes were a stunning bright blue, something that her child had inherited. The child's father was a tall noble man with long silky black hair in a tight braid that his wife had braided. They both had piercings but the lady had more. She had a nose piercing of jade, a lip piercing of onyx, and multiple ear piercings all down the sides of both ears. Her hair was in a simple braid down her back like her husbands'.
The child had pitch black hair that was going to be really thick some day. Her eyes were a bright blue...just like her mothers. Her tan skin was natural. All three people were in a dimly lit passage way that looked like it never ended. A normal human wouldn't be able to see the faint outlines of hidden doors. The couple and the child stopped in front of a certain hidden door and looked at each other knowing that they might not ever see each other again and life be the same as it was before. The man reached into into a hole in one of the walls and pulled the latch. A loud sound echoed through the passage and the secret door opened. They all hurried inside and the man closed the door behind him. His wife was casting worried glances around.
"We have to hurry, when your father finds out what you've done he will not rest until he has us and our little *flore comantem." Said the woman.
"I know, but if this is going to be successful, we need to make sure we aren't seen." The man said. The walked down another passage but this one dark and damp, chilly for the few gusts of air blowing through the tunnel.
Finally they made it to another door and this time the woman it a hand to the door and it moved on its own. The family of three quickly moved out the door and took a deep breath of salty sea air. They snuck over to an abnormally large bush growing in the middle of the beach. They pulled a longboat out of the bush and arranged everything inside it. Once they finished they had solemn looks on their faces. They knew what came next and the sacrifices they were making. The woman started crying and the mad eyes glistened. They both took turns holding their child and kissing her on the forehead.
After their rituals of goodbyes they laid the child into the boat and covered her up lightly to hide her. They walked the boat to the water and let her go, watching her float away from their lives...but they hoped that one day they'd see her again. The women buried her head into her husbands chest as she started to cry. They walked back to the passage and made their way home.Later that night the curse took affect as 1000 years passed and everyone soon forgot everything that's happened in the past 1000 years.
