"Run Kaya" she yelled and she let the small girl to the forest, "Run away and never return...." a tear ran down her face as she watched the small girl run from her. She loved her Kaya...her daughter but she must protect her.
She turned away fromth echild and turned to take her stance. She turned and facedd it.....the thing she most feared....the ogre. It was large and ugly....at least as far as she was concerned. She pulled her sword and turned to the thing...."You shall not have her.....she will not be harmed...!"
"Move aside, elf!"
"No, death first"
THe ogre pulled it sword and put it through the young mother......but the mother managed to ram her sword through his chest before she fell.
Kaya turned and faced her mother...."NO MOMMY!"
The mothers eyes focused on her....... "No.....run....." and she fell to the ground hard.
The girl turned and ran from the bloody scene. Runing till she could run no more......eventually she fell to her knees. The world around her was dark....she was alone and afraid. She cried out to the night shakeing very hard...she was so afraid.....yet she clutched to the twin katanas her mother had given her before she left.... THe katanas and her pendent. SHe hugged them to her and cried, eventually falling asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An old woman with long black hair and lavander eyes was whistling as she walked through the forest. Every once in a while she would bend down and examine a plant or two....accastionally taking them and puting them in the basket at her side. She wore long black robes and a black hooded cloak though the hood hung down her back.
Eventually this woman came acrossed a clearing. She hummed to herself and walked over to examin a plant in the tall grass at the far end of the clearing. She bent down and jumped in shock. For in the clearing was a small child with lavander hair fast asleep. She bent down to wake the child...... "Child.....dear child.....wake up my dear" she said softly......
Kaya opened her eyes slowly... and looked at the woman.
"Ah....so you are alive.....might I ask what you are doing in this clearing...."
The small girl looked at the ground.....the sight from the previous night still vivid in her mind.... She shook greatly in her spot...
The old woman came to her and hugged her. "Its ok child you need not be afraid....I shall help you....My name is Alawin.....what is your name?"
"Kaya" the girl said in a small voice.
"Well kaya.....I'm going to take you to my cottage....I'll take care of you" She smiled comfortingly..
"Thank you.....Alawin...ma'am"
The two walked though the forest towards the cottage....nearther knowing what would happen next....
