When Skyla was a little child, demons invaded her village, but when that happens all she saw was fire and darkness as her people dies.
The village was in fire and her parents fought the demons bravely using the fire as weapon, however a ball of darkness hit Skyla's mother. It hit her upper body, she coughed up blood out of her mouth and got pass out.
After her mother got hit and got knock out, a demoness named Noire summoned another ball of darkness and throw it on Skyla's mom who wouldn't able to dodge it, but her dad pushed her mom and got hit.
He taken a lot of damage in his torso, but still summoned fire to attack Noire, but it was so slow that she dodge it easily. The demoness summoned a black hole. Skyla's dad last words was
"Run with your older brother and to get the doves to teach you magic." Then they got sucked up by the black hole.
She cries and run away from the scene, while Noire sent a low class demon to kill Skyla.
The village she saw before was nice and full of people, but now it was filled with dead human and demon corpses and the humans fighting against the demons. Now the village was in fire and she was running as fast as she can to find her brother.
Skyla found her older brother in the plaza of the village, but the demon jump at her and caught her.
The demon's claw stabbed through her skin, so she screamed and her brother heard the scream and look in the direction where it came from.
He saw Skyla, so he tried to save her. He kicked the demon away from her by using wind magic and brute force. The demon was sent flying to the wall. The wall cracked then the building crumbled.
It was her chance to escape with her brother. However a beast mix of lion and eagle appeared and caught her brother with its talon then fled. Skyla tried to chase the creature but she stumbled across the way.
After her brother got kidnapped, the demons retreated as if their mission was complete. The village was in fire, but Skyla thinks there are survivors in the village so she wonder around the village. Finally, she found a survivor, which is around her age and was named Ethan.
They left the village, went to the forest and survived there for a year and started to have an adventure. Many years of looking for a village or city to stay, they grow up and turned sixteen. However all they saw was burned villages.
One day, while Skyla went to sleep, Skyla saw a little girl crying in a burning house, a black haired man carried the little girl out from the burning house, then the man carried a blonde hair woman and took her out from the burning house.
However, a dagger flew towards the man, hitting him in the back. The woman and the little girl cried. Skyla saw a clear image of the woman and the little girl, she was shocked. The little girl looks the same as Skyla when she was a kid, but more beautiful. Then Skyla woke up. She wondered about her dream, but as days passed, she forgot about it.
They went to a forest that is filled of mist out of their curiosity, and Skyla remembered her past, since the mist showed her past. While Ethan went to find food.
It was 10 years when the invasion happened, but Skyla never forgot about what her dad said to her. "Get your brother and learn magic from the doves." Obviously, it doesn't make sense that she needs to be teach by the doves?!
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
But she is planning to ask people from villages what does it mean, but all the villages they found was burned and was dark even if it is morning or afternoon.
Skyla was crying and shaking while sitting in the ground, she felt guilt that she was useless, she didn't even do what her dad said. Eidan got back and tried shaking her to wake her up, but she wasn't waking up, her eyes has no shine and she look like her spirit wasn't there. She was trapped in her mind about what happened to her family. However she woke up when Ethan says that your brother is still alive. That word gave her hope to find him, but has still doubts about him being dead.
When her doubts disappeared the forest's mist disappears and they were able to see through and get out of the forest. Ethan gave Skyla some berries to eat as they take a break from walking. They saw a village, however, this time they saw a village that is not destroyed yet and not burned yet nor dark. Ethan and Skyla smiled for the first time of their teenage years. They ran as if they were little kids again then they saw people in the village.
When they got closer, they saw fur in the people of the village. Ethan became curious as why they have fur and Skyla became cautious. Skyla and Ethan wore their clothes that are made from animal fur, cover their face with a mask and wonder around the village, everything was normal except the people that look like beasts that look like a mix of humans and lions.
'Maybe they evolved.' Sylvia thought.
The villagers caught Ethan's and Skyla's scent and know they are human. The villagers whisper each other while they were wondering around the village and they shapeshift to a lion, then they learned it was a village for beasts!
Skyla and Ethan tried to escape from the village, but it was too late the villagers surrounded them. A tornado, the villagers combined their magic to make a tornado. Skyla was caught in the tornado, while Aidan runs away.
She got numerous cuts and was bleeding from the strong wind and tried to use her fire magic but failed. She still didn't master fire magic yet, because she never learned about it from anyone.
A villager looking like the chief was running towards the crowd says "Stop the tornado or you will make me mad!" Skyla fell down on the cold ground,but the village chief run towards her then carries her with a princess carry. The villager chief took her to his house; he fed her some food and took care of her. After three days, she regained her consciousness; he smiled and says "I'm sorry for leaving you alone."
It was her brother, but he has ears, tail, and stripes like a tiger but his face was an ordinary human face. "Big brother Zephyr, I'm happy that I found u." Skyla said happily. Zephyr hugged her tightly. She cried and turned pale. Skyla closed her eyes, her body feeling cold and her heart stopped beating.
Zephyr cried "Wake up, Skyla wake up! I'm sorry for leaving you, but don't leave me alone." She was already dead. He cried and buried her in the fire village.
When Ethan ran away, he escaped the village and prayed for Skyla to be safe. Ethan ran away as fast as he can that he didn't see what he bump into. It was a human, he was happy that he found another human in here. However, the human suddenly changed into a beast with a mix of lion and eagle and grabbed him. Aidan was scared of the beast thinking it will eat him.
Few minutes later while flying, the beast brought him to a city, where there are a lot of humans. "You will live in here now, and never forget about your people in your old village." The beast said in Ethan's mind. He knew it was a good animal when he heard what the creature said. Ethan said yes to the beast, however he thought about what happened to Skyla. He felt guilty that he ran away, but he said in his mind 'I will always remember you my hero.' while thinking of her.
Meanwhile, in heaven Skyla refused to die young, so the god of reincarnation said "Fine, I will resurrect you. However I won't erase your memory so it's going to be fun watching what you're going to be like. I will sent Venus to give you some powers. Like it would a lot of drama if you forget your memories and I turn you into your original age. Also, I'm making your close friend as your dad." The god said.
The forest that Skyla and Ethan past through, began making mist again. There was a cry from the forest. A goddess named Venus found the baby in the forest and gave her some of her powers like charm and charm speak. The goddess carried the baby and left it in the city where Aidan is at right now.
Ethan found the baby in a basket in front of his house saying "Take care of this baby."
'Hm, but why me? I'm just a teenager. Oh well, i wanted to have a family anyway.'
He took the baby inside and named her Amara. Amara Ellie Cain.
