But, some are born from silence.

"The art of being never understood."
Mentioned in books everywhere--
Maybe Anastia was one of them...
As Anastia stood there at the shore all helpness near the point of breaking up.A figure started to slowly became visible ,It had something like lattern in one hand.
It came closer to her by each second.Its step echoing in whole darkness.
Anastia looked up and thought
"Who is that."
Soon she realized it was that old woman who trapped them there.
Anastia was silent as she stared at her.That woman was mummbling some chanters:
"Oh god guide us.
Let the truth to be discovered."
The woman stopped infront of her and met her eyes.
Anastia searched in her eyes for any answer but efforts went in vain.
As she didnt have anyone else. She took a step closer and led her guide.
The blind woman smiled and raise her stick in sky.Suddenly the gem on her stick started glowing and the sky became lit up with light and something started to appear, A fragement maybe?As that woman whispered chanters:
The past shall give answers.
Indeed it happened no power can stop it now.
What we are viewing right now is past,Oh lost soul.
Let it show truth.
Soon the vision of Melia standing infront of a door appeared in the sky.
It all felt as if they were witnessing a flim,
Melia stood at the door,She took a deep breath and slowly went inside.An an old man could be seen standing.He smiled at her enterance and signaled her to sit.
The room was embellished with red carpets,intricate paintings as if they belonged
to a highly noble and royal family.The old man ordered guards to leave and they left leaving Melia and him alone in the room.
room.He looked at her with serious expression:
"You know the economic situation is getting worst as the racial group is gaining more and more power."
Melia took out some letters handing it to him as she spoke,
"Yes father.I know the current situation.That group is quite dangerous on its own.As their blood is dilute.
He bit his lip out of frustation that blood started to come as he looked outside through the window.
I have one question.
Melia upon hearing it stopped in her track.She knew something was wrong.
While, He turned his eyes all serious as he asked:
"Do you want to maintain the peace of this nature."
Melia shook her head The old man known as came closer to her face and knelt down to whisper:
"Then you will need to act as scapegoat that's all you need to know."
Before Melia could ask or argue,He just dismissed her silently from room.She had no choice but to leave his room.She bowed:
"As your order father", and left.
As she came outside from his room. Tears in her eyes started to emergehe ,She had no option as she was a illegimate child who just happened to get blessed with title of princess.
She started walking back to her room.As she did a person happened to pass by her his face hidden by a hat.Somewhere her heart ached ,Her eyes widened by the feeling of familiarity? and she turned around to look but the man was no where to be found.
She wondered,
"Who was that man?"
