Alleiraki
Memories.
.... Mama... her small voice called into the darkness but got a weak groan in return, she had watched a gruesome scene happen before her eyes and she couldn't comprehend what had happened at the moment
"my little midnight star, you did so well, I'll always be with you, now baby I need you to run and never look bac- " her mother's sweet voice cut off as she watched her mother's eyes stare into nothing, her sweet smile lost in her face that showed only horror. no matter how much she shook her, not an ounce of recognition came into them, she was so cold to the touch and her four year old self began to become overwhelmed with everything, why won't mama come back, what happened, what was that black thing, why is mother so cold.. why did they do this to mother.... was it a game....
... The arrow split through the air straight to her and a warm body slammed into her, knocking her off her feet and the unmistakable sound of metal touching flesh filled her ears, she turned around quickly from where she had fallen on the dirt floor and a groan was heard before the old woman whispered a spell and that took any last reserve of magic and energy she had because she too slumped back onto the floor and disintegrated into the air, no matter how much she wailed or cried for her to come back, nothing happened and when she blinked, she found herself far from where she had known..
..... she stared at the small kid and chuckled at him before bending to pick him up and taking him back to the village, she left him at his home and promised to bring back his candies later in the day before she went back home to calizar her helper and employer.
That evening when she went back to give what she promised, she found the kid in a pool of his own blood, head split and body ravaged like it was done by a beast and she had screamed in unimaginable pain...
REALITY.
She tried to shut it all down but it kept pushing till she finally got it under control but the damage had been done.....once again.
She snapped her eyes open to see pitiful eyes staring at her as a fae used her magic to make the grave look more better but she didn't feel any better, you would think she would be used to it now but no she wasn't and it still pained every time.
"Tears won't bring him back you know, but I still enjoy it on your face murderer" she looked behind her just in time for a punch to send her sailing into the air and slamming onto the tree beside the grave and she quickly regained her footing, eyes catching that of the male from this morning and hatred filled her, hot rage slammed into her as her eyes glowed pure red and black clashing together and for a split second the male's eyes flashed with fear but that was all she needed, her dagger left her and sailed through the air, landing on its mark, right into his temples, that was their weakest point and his eyes bulged before he slumped forward,dead and disintegrated into the air.
She turned to leave when she felt as though she had crossed a line but that was all she could recall because soon her head swirled and she fell to her face, unconscious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When next her eyes snapped open, coming face to face with a pure red snout of some kind and she quickly scrambled away, back connecting to some sort of tree as she gasped for breath, her eyes looked upper only to discover she was staring into the face of a huge red fire breathing dragon and her heart skipped a beat.
"W-what.... She croaked out before clearing up her throat and standing up as she heard more sounds and glanced around to see three more dragons, all in different colors and mannerisms, there was the red one glaring at her fiercely, there was a blue one snarling at her and she gulped hard at the sharp rows of teeths dotting it's mouth, then there was a brown one that kept staring at her in interest and there was the last one, a green dragon that kept pawing at the ground with an odd glint in it's eyes.
"Who are you?" Came from the top of the red dragon and it's serpentine long neck slithered down for her to see a male sitted at the top, he was simply beautiful but had this rigidity and shadows seemed to be mingled into his very fiber and his presence seemed to command authority and attention, he was on a tight fitting pants and a black shirt and seemed more annoyed than curious.
"Am Aleirraki, where am I?" She praised herself for speaking clearly as she struggled to her feet, arms bracing on that wall and the dragons took some steps back as though in unison.
"We're asking the questions here, how did you get here? His voice sliced through the air again and she instead took her time giving the area she was in a once over and found out the trees and leaves here were so different than what she had seen before she fainted some hours ago, she deduced that she might have unintentionally crossed the veil but it didn't make any sense, no one was able to cross the veil and maybe.. just maybe she didn't cross the veil and this was all just a bad dream but as she pinched herself and winced, she discovered it wasn't a dream but a reality.
"Are you even listening? Who sent you here? Was it the fae king? Why are you here? Wh-"
"Oh drop it, I just discovered I don't even know where I crashed into, why am I here? I don't fucking know how I got here in the first place so how am I supposed to know why am here? Was it the fae king? Am sorry why would the fae king send me here, I'd sooner stab a dagger through his eyes than take orders from the tyrant, now please where the fuck am I and who are you all?" She asked after her rambling and they all looked at her in surprise.
