An ill omen...

A white spotted Elink swaying its split in two tails could be seen dancing in the wind, has it raised his head with its massive antlers, making his way through the forest, down toward the river being followed by its herd. While his Horizontal slits eyes warily scanning its surrounding for any predators, it stops in front of the base of the river. Just it was about to drink, out of the corner of his eyes he sees a figure drifting in the river, making the mad dash as he rushes into the forest along with its herd. The figure in the river with her amber hair with her eyes closed as for her eyelids would twitch time to time, to indicate that the figure was being responsive, softly drifting down the river.

The sun rose as life awoke in the village of Night Bloom; Nathan excitedly jumps from his bed as he dashes into the living room. His mother with her wavy darken hair with her tanned skin, as she smiles softly with her warm brown pupils at him as he sits himself at the table. His father already sited at the table while drinking from cup, his father quite bulky with his stern eyes while wearing his priest robes. Nathen cheerfully eats his breakfast while humming, His mother raises an eyebrow as she spoke "Someone is in a good mood" as she pinches his cheeks. Nathan scowls "mom I'm not a kid anymore" while he rushes to finish his plate, his mom shakes her head. "Well, you're still my baby boy" as she ruffles his hair.

Nathan brushes his mom hand as he rushes outside. His mom shouts after him " be home by dawn" as she worriedly sighs, her husband shakes his head "you forgot to tell him". She responds "he'll know soon enough" she gently rubs her stomach as her eyes soften. Nathan's friends could be seen waiting by the fence as they watched two-man duel, as their steel clash together with ferocity as spark flew from their blades. One of his friends, who was quite cubby with his muddy brownish hair, impatiently talks to Nathan, " where were you? we agreed to be here soon as the sun rose up, you almost missed half the fight" another kid speaks up "yea Nathan, your always late" as the short with freckles rolls his eyes. Nathan apologetically mumbles "sorry guys" his two friends just turn their attention back to the fight, has the older men with white hair knocks the sword out of his opponent hands.

The older men help his opponent up as he glances at the children as he waves at them, he beckons them to get closer. The group of children gathers around him as they congratulate him, Nathans speaks with sparkling eyes "Grandpa Vaskamir, that was so cool!"the old man just laugh, " are you ready kids?" as he gets another person to hand the group of kid with wooden sword. He starts training them to swing while fixing their posture at the end of it, the kids were all lying down with sore arms while panting. Vaskamir shakes his head as he was about to get them to run, a fisherman from the village comes running in, with panic face while screaming " help! Someone needs help! " While holding a young girl, the most beautiful girl Nathan as ever seen as her amber hair dangled down and her eyes tight shut with a painful expression which made his heart ache for no reason. His father rushes out as he grabs the girl out of the fisherman grasp, while the rest of the village went to help or gawked while gossiping. The village elder came out to see the ruckus as he shoos everyone "alright stop gawking and back to work, those fields need to be attended for winter" as the crowd of villagers started to disperse.

His father brings the young girl into the church while the grandpa Vaskamir followed along with the elders of the villager into the church. Nathan out of curiosity follows as he leans in the windows of the church while over hearing father talk with the elders. "My miracle is being rejected" One of the elder exclaimed, "She's a witch!" Another with a crooked pointy nose with the face of a snake, an elder that Nathan never liked, as he spoke with a gloomy voice "we must burn her at the stake" Some of the elder agreed while or there's expressed no opinion, Nathan shocked from what he was hearing, he mumbled " a young girl no older than me? To be burnt" as he was spot to yell. His grandpa Vaskamir bust in " you cower less, spineless fool, she just a young gal" as he berates the elder with the snake liked face. The elder trembles in either in anger or embarrassment. As he was about to speak up while pointing his shaky finger.

The Leader of the village walks as he stops his cane on the floor "Silence" as he booms causing the two to fall into silence "Raven, help the lass and make sure to attend to her" Causing the snake looking elder to exclaim out loud " this will anger the church and have our village burn down into the flames!". The leader calmly states "My village, my rules" causing the elder to fall into silence as he stomps outside while screaming " you will cause an ill omen to befall our village, for the flames of purity will be upon us". The leader just sighs as he mumbles "May the purity grant us warmth". Nathan sneaks away before getting caught as he sees his father bringing the young girl into an empty room while peacefully slumbering away as night descends onto the village.

A group of figures could be seen riding at night as they stand on a cliff while staring down on the small village of night bloom. A hunch bag deformed man with a hood could be seen sniffing the ground as one of the knights hold a leash as a collar tied to the hunch bag neck while he speaks in third person "Voldketh Seekth While Voldketh Finds!" while wagging his butt at the knight at he points at the small village. A scholar-After the calamity Wizards and Witches were seen as gods and powerful beings, it wasn't until the revolt that caused them to be hanged and killed, that was the creation of the church for it flames consumes all it considers heretic and unpureed.
