Daughter Of The Moon
Priestess Mahalia's Daughter.
A long time ago in stories long forgotten, it was said that only the descendants of Phytia shall be graced by the moon.
They shall inherit a crescent mane as fine as Lecharian silk, and olive skin forever flourishing despite the Pustan sun. And in each generation, one, shall be an 'elect'.
In the first three years of her life, everyone knew that Tahira was different from the other kids who grew up in the holy town of Ketor.
Helena (temple servant)
Oh...dear mother of the night! Did you hear the news about Tahira? The daughter of one of the three of power?
Eryna (temple servant)
Priestess Mahalia's daughter. What happened to her?
Helena (temple servant)
According to my sources, when she was presented for her reading in the destiny room... the room of mirrors revealed nothing but a misty fog
Fuschia ( temple servant)
A misty fog? But what does that even mean? Is it bad luck? Is she cursed?
You know what... don't tell me. Just thinking about it is chilling the blood in my veins
Helena (temple servant)
Well, according to the source, from history, no baby's destiny had been so uncertain. The three of power consider it ... ominous. An abomination on equal level as a destructive destiny.
Eryna (temple servant)
Blessed mother of the night! Priestess Mahalia sure must be devastated. What do you think will happen to one year old Tahira?
Helena (temple servant)
No one really knows what happens to the damned children. But from the many stories I've heard, after the destiny reading, they are never seen again in Ketor.
Fuschia trembles with terror
Fuschia ( temple servant)
T- they d-disappear?
Helena (temple servant)
Some people are of the belief that an underground group known as 'Hossana' rescues the babies to a new town outside Pustan.
Eryna (temple servant)
But that's impossible. Pustan shares boundary with the Lycanthropes of Uftia. Nothing good can come out of that blood thirsty pack. They've wanted to subdue Pustan since forever. Why would they open their borders to this Hosanna group by providing the damned children with a new home?
Helena (temple servant)
I know it doesn't make sense. But I wanted to believe that it was true. Because if it wasn't, then only one thing will explain the disappearance of the damned children after the destiny reading.
Eryna (temple servant)
What?
Fuschia ( temple servant)
Tell us. No. don't. I believe it's best if I don't know.
It all clicks into place, so much so that Eryna cannot deny the light bulb moment.
Eryna (temple servant)
No way. You're not thinking what I am thinking...
Fuschia gasps with horror. Her legs wobbly and unstable.
Fuschia ( temple servant)
E-execution?!
Helena (temple servant)
That's right. Execution of the damned children.
