Chapter 22: My life
Leornars growned on stacian's back
"How many years has it been since I awaited your arrival?" She asked herself
"Oh yeah,it's been a few centuries...it's been one thousand eight hundred and eighty seven years since I was told to await for you to come, I waited,preached your arrival to the masses as the people began revolting" she added
" I tried getting attention from my so called parents but only got loathe and hatred "
"The only person who trained me, for my part life was my uncle, uncle Belluahn Vers Gremoriah, he taught me magic,art, finance, agriculture, politics and skills,he was more of a father to me "
She sighed
Stacian Von Gremoriah was born in September 18 in the year 226 after the gods departure,( AGD), she was born a chimera like her clan a hybrid of three species,an angel,a demon and a fairy. She was unlike the other Dyriands (meaning her race) she had been born with white wings and black horns , the others had black wings and white horns .
At the age of seven she was isolated from the other children due to her father being the clan's chief,she was seen as an anomaly by the others.
Only one person in the entire clan cherished her,her uncle Belluahn
Her uncle Belluahn was harshly treated by the other clan members for him being with only horns and no wings,he was seen as an anomaly and none of the other members were allowed to get near him.
" He's a pest," they mocked
"Why shouldn't we just kill him?" another asked
" He's obviously the chief's brother " another replied
The insultes continued
Stacian was calmly told by her uncle Belluahn not to try to defend his honour and reputation or she'd be excommunicated from the clan.
" But I'm the first daughter, the rightful heir of the chiefdom" stacian said proudly
" For a seven year old you are cocky, but don't forget the people are always waiting for a reason to banish you for even a slight misunderstanding. I myself was the first born son, I was to be the heir of the chiefdom but your father and his friends cut off my wings and said I was unworthy to be the new chief and it seemed everyone believed them. I was cast aside like a rotten leftover food and he was crowned chief ,he only keeps me around so I can not say anything and seems they even took the effort to seal away my ability to use magic of any source " Belluahn said as he laughed bitterly at the end
Stacian looked at him sadly
"No, don't look at me like that, you have a brighter future than I will ever have so don't worry about anything , you are just seven years old, your too young to worry about grown ups problems , you go and play with the other kids " Belluahn said gently
"Their mother's refused me to play with them saying I was abnormal " stacian said sadly
"Oh I see, don't worry I'll always play with you then " Belluahn said as they went to play,a seven year old Dyriands and a several thousand year old uncle
A year went by and it was stacian's time to be contracted to a god or goddess.She was clothed a white robe ,her hair done ready to go.
" Don't dare to embarrass us" her father warned her
" If it wasn't for this accursed ritual she wouldn't be contracted " her mother's sister said
She didn't flinch due to being used to it
She was left to go alone to the church as a custom of either a friend or family member to accompany her, after leaving the house, outside was her uncle Belluahn was outside seated on the porch,he smiled
" There you are little sunshine" he called out to her
She ran hugging him
" Yes ,I have arrived" she said confidently
Her relatives and parents watched
"Those two misfits" they uttered
Belluahn looked at the window in cold eyes, they left the window
" Don't worry about them, you look marvellous, like a golden jewel" Belluahn said
"I thought a gold was a jewel?" She asked
" I....no ,gold is not jewel" Belluahn added as they left for the church
They arrived at the gate and she hugged him as she ran to be contracted.
"May the gods watch over her" Belluahn said
In a few minutes the entire church glowed as a loud bell rung
" Don't tell me,she's the one" Belluahn said
The congregation came out in cheers
" This girl has been ordained by the goddess of life,Minum as the new subordinate of his royal excellence The white plague who shall arrive in our world in a few centuries " A priest shouted for all to hear
" Who? What? Me? Chosen?" Stacian asked in confusion
" Child be glad, so many have dreamt of meeting the white plague as depicted in the scripts " the priest added
" But I'm a misfit ,am seven years old " she tried explaining
" Age or race means nothing to the white plague as depicted in the scripts " the priest added
During the night as they ate stacian,her mother,her father, brother and sister ate silently till her father began murmuring
" Are you ok?" Stacian asked him,he quickly rose slapping her sending her to the floor
" DON'T YOU TALK TO ME YOU DISGUSTING THING! " her father shouted
"I'm sorry " she said tearfully
" I TOLD YOU NOT TO EMBARRASS ME AND WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU FUCKING HUMILIATED ME INFRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD,I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!!" her father added shouting angrily
" Let's calm down, what did she do?" Her mother asked
" THIS BITCH WAS CHOSEN AS THE WHITE PLAGUE'S RETAINER,OTS THE WORK OF THE CLAN HEAD NOT SOME WASTED SPERM!!!" her father shouted slapping her again
" I'm sorry " stacian said crying
Her mother got up ,held her by the neck slapping her and throwing her to the corner of the house
" Haven't you already done enough problems for us!!!! What more will you ruin for us!!!" Her mother asked
Stacian looked at her, shocked, scared
" I thought you were the only one who truly cared for me mother" she said softly
" Cared? Why would I care about something like you?" Her mother asked
" We'll just lock her away till she's forgotten by the people" her father suggested
" Yes, do that" her mother added
Her brother waved goodbye to her as she was dragged outside and thrown into a cage down the sewer.
Years went by ,she was fed each day
It has already been fourty years since she was thrown away, she had grown up,, days went by
One day a sound was heard when she was asleep,she woke up to see her uncle Belluahn picking the lock
" Uncle" she called out to him as she cried
He opened the door and she ran hugging him as she cried
" I was sold off to the neighbouring city by your father as a slave but the man who bought me was human and he died of age so here I am" uncle Belluahn said
" I'm happy to see you are still alive " he added
" Me too " stacian said
They ran out looking for an exit way and ahead of them was the family, waiting
" Belluahn, Belluahn, after all I've done for you, you dare to defy me " her father asked Belluahn
" Hey there, Leroy " Belluahn said to Leroy,his brother
" I thought I made it clear,I don't want anything to do with you,so get out of my life" Leroy said
" That's harsh" Belluahn said
In a second they were bound by chains and parted
Stacian was sold off in a neighbouring kingdom as for Belluahn was sold to a far kingdom, the kingdom of Durmount and Stacian in the empire of Avrtl
Stacian served as a slave for centuries, it had been over a thousand eight hundred and eighty seven years as she was sold off from one person to another as a maid, servant, healer and chef for various people.
She was sold off finally to the kingdom of Durmount same as her uncle Belluahn,she was sold off to a cruel man who had a daughter,he was a baron in a small location far south, of the continent.
Stacian was used as a healer and got no pay but minimal amount of food and water,she was already proficient in magic but was restrained by anti mana chains and cuffs ,she occasionally senced and felt her uncle's aura till one day a different aura interfered ,she simply ignored it and suddenly her uncle's aura disappeared, the new aura was where her uncle was
" He's dead" she said crying
Suddenly it returned even more stronger than before.
"Whats going on here?' she thought
A week later the aura she felt drew closer each day,till one day when she was asleep due to dehydration she felt an aura ,new pure and broken coming through the door.
She opened her eyes and saw him, a man in white hair and red eyes,a white aura with a red tip.
He looked bright than everyone she'd met.
The man freed her as a shadow figure came in ,it felt like uncle Belluahn but it looked different
Black
Armoured
Strong
" Oh, he's undead" she thought as she was taken away by Leornars and Bellian who was Belluahn.
She looked at Leornars who was asleep on the bed in the Theocracy of Lurtra kingdom castle,
"I've waited for you for over two thousand three hundred and seventy two years for you to come, and you are here , right Infront of me, it's a dream come true, right uncle Belluahn?" She said to herself
" I promise I will always be there with you, my lord" she whispered
