…
The hums of enjoyment and quietness on the top of the hill in spring
her small hands holding a beautiful crown of daisies, her white and simple dress lying upon the grass as she admires the village, or her world, in joy.
White fog covering the area around the world making it appear as if it was a land of mystery in a magically lovely way reflecting in the little girl's eyes..
{In a small world full with imperfection, impureness, and slavery.. born the perfect child.. the purest deer, who will turn the world's fate upside down and save them for eternity, that child.. is me, I'm the savior in a beautiful fairytale! I'll get our village to a new world.. I'll explore what is beyond the white fog-..}
Eyes shone with innocent joy, the princess who is destined to marry the god, the one she loves the most ..
'O little girl, the princess that heavens and mortals both adore'
Amid her fantasies, approached a young girl, seemingly in her age, having the darkest hair and eyes someone will ever have.. looking down at the princess with the same dead eyes and shifting her gaze to the flower crown.
{Einar, my friend. However.. she's the most jealous person I've ever met, when they mention me as the princess, she always gets mad and fights away the people when they give me treats.. she'd do anything to prevent the 'princess' tale..}
Einar: [what are you doing?]
Her question came in a quiet yet annoyance lies underneath.
Princess Ael: [a ..crown? Every princess should wear a crown..]
Ael's tone was full of innocence and joy, but Einar's eyes were full of hate and 'jealousy'. Anger taking over her, she snatched the crown and fiercely trampled the flowers under a bare foot.
Ael was scared to say the least, but this wasn't new for her.. the other gripped Ael's silky dress and hissed in irritation..
Einar: [do you like it? All of this fairytale.. you're merely a mortal like us!]
Ael's tears formed in fear in her eyes and was trembling unable to push away Einar.
Seeing the other's tears, Einar retreated and looked around in panic that someone actually saw her, people were too protective of princess Ael and will not hesitate to punish whoever hurts her..
And the last punishment Einar got was the least to say brutal, so she'd flee for the time being..
Thus, Ael never saw Einar after that for years.
Until one day…
Princess Ael, who is now a teen, playing with the sheep again in a land of green and white fog. Which made it easy to spot the dark clothed girl from distance
Ael: Einar?! What..what happened to you?..
The princess asked the other whose face was burnt, tired, and her hair is now longer than she last had.
Einar: [why? Do you like this all? The way they treat you?]
Ael entered in defense state.. [they did nothing but good to me!]
With that words, Einar realized that Ael is long gone, so she took a decision of her own to show her the real world she so carelessly tossed aside and adopted her pink dreams
Einar: [just live the day as usual..]
Ael's day starts with the gentle lady that raised her, welcomed her warmly and offered breakfast. There was absolutely nothing wrong with how things went, shhe went to borrow some bread from their neighbor after breakfast.
The old man kindly welcomed her inside and started a chat and he gently tickled her in a gesture of friendliness, he always wished to have a grandchild like her.
He gave her the bread and she went out,
Ael was puzzled, was Einar really serious or jealous?
Things are normal.
There were those two adults who were sitting on the sideway as she was returning to her house who greeted her as soon as she passed, 'friendly..'
Ael:[everything is normal..]
The small village had no night and day, only fog and rainy-like weather, the light was enough for them to live.
So, at the end, after she delivered the bread to her mother and did everything normally, she returned to Einar.
Ael:[everything was normal..]
Einar's face wasn't angry, but depressed and troubled as she was since she returned.
Einar: [please try to see it..] she held Ael's hand gently and knelt, her tone was full of desperation..
Their moment was cut by the village people, Einar grabbed Ael's arm tightly as they ran as fast as they could before Ael tripped over..
Ael: [w-what is wrong with you!]
Ael asked the other angrily and the people shared the anger, some held Einar tightly and some helped Ael get up with smiling faces
That felt uneasy.. that felt like a nightmae for Einar.
[come on Ael, it's time for your life's biggest event, your destination .]
Their words lit up Ael's face as she followed with happiness, and Einar looking from afar expecting the worse and losing her hope..
—-
There she was, in front of her dream, under a dead tree, she only needed to complete the ritual of feeding the sheeps, she happily approached before she paused as soon as they looked at her
The sheeps.. looked terrifying, and before she managed to feed them they attacked fiercely knocking her down -and tearing her pure flesh apart..
Einar saw from distance and couldn't help her tears as she kicked away the villagers- no, demons around her. She rushed to Ael's body embracing it and crying without control
The kind lady that raised Ael used to give her some kind of medicine in the bread, the kind old man used to touch her however he wanted and he wasn't friendly.
since she was little, they taught her all that is alright, that their nasty desires for her were 'friendly gestures' …
A few hours after, both the girls are now nothing but a bunch of bones..
The village was pleased, that means the god's wrath upon them will finally be lifted.. or no?
The sky turned red and strong blows of wind attacked the village and its locals who were actually demons..
The hot wind steamed them alive, as the real wrath of god stroke.
And now, they're gone, they're ashes.
But after what?
——————
….
[Einar? Einar?!] the voice of the princess appeared in a distance, when she's at her purest form, where she finds her peace finally..
Einar: [Ael..] she called back, it was the first time ever she called Ael by her name, they met in their pure form, where their faces are real and their bodies unstained..
The two wasted no time to throw themselves in a deep embrace.
Now Ael understood, Einar was always her friend, her guardian and her everything..
But, everything came to dust. Their image blurred and vanished into my hand.
I never asked for a sacrifice, and made their fate of destruction clear, though I'm still impressed..
They managed to birth two pure beings from demons? Impressive indeed.
Now they're dead, but their souls will continue together, that's what i hope.
