...Date: 22 December 1960…...

...A crowd of people living in a small settlement of Penelope....

This town was one of the most famous towns of the world.

…………

Sunset was first to be seen in this place above the high mountains covered in greenery. Sunlight was seen in every single household in the morning. Trees were full of leaves and; flowers were seen in each one of them. Air was the best here. People lived years in this town. Ritual and festivals were celebrated altogether. Words seemed to be less to express the beauty of this town.

Houses were all developed but not a single piece of trash can be seen on the streets. There were almost no crimes in this town. However…………… people living here struggled under high prices.

Poor people could not afford 3 basic meals a day. Such was the family of Alora.

Alora was a normal girl; she was pretty.

She had a pale skin, emerald eyes, little hands and feet.

She was quite of a disciplined child and a bit short-tempered.

She was bought up in a rich family and had experienced all the comfort in her early childhood.

But as they say nothing lasts forever, but who knew she would have to live the rest of her life in struggle of money.

Her family had suffered from a lot after her father died and the company sank down.

Alora was just 16 and soon she was to turn 17.

Her name was quite unique just as her personality.

And damn…… she didn't like to be idle, never!

She was always treated like the queen of the house yet she never held an attitude towards others.

...The year: 1944...

...*train stops by a station with a hump on a snowy night .......the coal burning in the furnace*...

...*Arron and his wife Velora get down of the train and the horn beeps......the engine starts leaving behind smoke*...

..................

Velora : *thumps her feet on the ground* (thud)..................*sighs* God! I'm sweating in this cold weather, honey can you imagine how hard it is to carry a baby.

Arron: No wonders sweetheart you are an amazing wife and will soon be an amazing mother too.........*grabs her hand* just for a while; we are almost there.

(Arron and velora walking towards an old narrow pathway down the streets of Alabama)

*cold breeze blows down with snow falling.........*

(Arron and Velora reach at the house of a soothsayer{a person who can foresee someone's future} )

...*knock knock..................ting tong *...

Velora: It's us..................the-

...*door creaks open*...

The soothsayer: Come in ! *joyfully* it's a pleasure to meet you......oh there is our little babyyyy*childish voice*

(they have a normal conversation with each other )

The soothsayer: ummm, i see you have come to look at your "not yet born" child's future.........*sits on a chair at a decorated corner*

he added, Come sit here, it's warm and cosy for you and your child and let's see what your child has awaiting in the future.

hmmm......... so it seems your child will be bright and beautiful and she is th-

*too stunned to speak*

(Arron and Velora felt a drop of heartbeat when they looked at the horrific pale face of the joyful soothsayer)

^^^Previously: Arron and Velora (Alora's parents) were seen to visit a soothsayer in aim of viewing their yet to be born child's future.^^^

^^^However, were held shocked by soothsayer's pale face.^^^

........................................................................

Soothsayer: *astounded*..........this has never happened to me in my entire life……………*joyfully* I'm happy to declare this to you that the universe has chosen this child to bring humanity a hope

...………...

...(the soothsayer then turned towards velora looked at her belly and swayed her hands together)...

...

...

(Arron and velora remained silent as they saw her)

Soothsayer: *with seriousness* Your child will be a warrior for us…the world will be saved by the chosen one *proudly*……………however the child would have to pay for the good deeds that it will do, by struggling to live *heavy hearted sigh*

Arron: *somber* why would my one and only child would have to suffer through such a misery *pity*

.......

.......

(They have a tough conversation with the soothsayer for about a long while)

Velora: (walking through the forest) oh darling…i have told you to return home by evening.

Alora: mom!! come closer look at that *pointing towards the far long cave of darkness*

Velora: *smiled* uh let me see.....ah.....*walking through the creeks of tree roots* Oh!!! *instant panic*

Velora: It is NOT·AT·ALL necessary for you to know about the cave. it has nothing to do with you......leave your curiosity!!! A*shouts in panic*....... come home now *leaves*

Alora: *crying* [thoughts: i know my mother loves but why did she scold me for such a small demand.......this has never happened to me before] *heavy breathing*

...(At the time of dinner)...

Velora: *sigh* i shouldn't have scolded her so much..........

...…...

...(at the dinner table)...

Arron: Alora today it's your turn to say grace.

Alora: *nods* Bless us O Lord and these they gifts which we are about to recieve, from the bounty through Christ our Lord.

Everyone: Amen

Velora: Let's dig in !

Velora: *enters Alora's room*

Velora: Where are you my baby...........

Alora: *sat on the bed folding her arms staring at the window angrily* I'm not your baby*angrily*

Velora: *smiled* it seems someone is still mad at me......*moves towards her, grabs her arm*

Alora: umm but mom then why did you scold me for ?

Velora: *gasp* i just...... panicked

Alora: *confused* panicked? why?

Velora: Because i didn't want you to know about the history of the cave *gulp*

Alora: *interested* why? *low voice* is there something in it??

Velora: Honey, that's it...... it's really late i think you should sleep..... let's talk tomorrow okay?

Alora: but- *hesitate* okay mom good night
