Faith

The large window, holding all the unreachable stars and galaxies and places and people, reflected the harsh outline of two people captured in a sliver of escaping light. Outside, a man cleaned a pool of blood as two others carried the heavy, unconscious body of an enemy to safety. In another room, more argued and yelled about the alien- the insanity of it all! A few silently watched, deep in thought. How had humanity come to this?

But she wasn't human. Her skin glittered, her eyes held an odd sheen, and a sort of aura hung heavy in the air surrounding her. From a distance she was exotic; up close she was otherworldly. Come from the stars and the soil, she was the key.

~*****~

Blessed with the powers of an ancient alien race.
Daughter of the late leader of the rebellion.
Ensured with the destiny of billions of lives.

Cursed to provide entertainment for the powerful.
Mother of the child she was forced to conceive for the greater good.
Destined to dismantle and decimate.
