Scroll 1: The Happy Birthday (part 1)
Scroll 1: The Happy Birthday
I'll go back around 23 years ago, when the prophesy written by my ancestors accomplished, I was born. The prophesy said that when a purple-eyed and purple-haired female was born, my village would be saved from the claws of darkness, that had been consuming my world little by little.
My mom had a hard time giving birth to me, but when I came out and everyone saw my purple qualities, she healed. No one knows why, its one of the mysteries of my powers.
The prophesy said that the purple-eyed child would take the name of the previous purple-eyed child, Sheira.
My father decided to hide my destiny from me until I was big enough to understand the future of the earth was lying in my hands. He, as the elder of the village told the villagers never to tell the legends again, and with the years everyone forgot about the prophesy, everyone but my father and mother, that always kept an eye on me, so I would not find out about it until I was 13.
I grew up like any normal child, everyone liked my purple eyes and hair, the way I could hear my friend's thoughts, the way I could talk to the animals, they thought it was normal.
In my 13th birthday my father took me into the woods, he had a very serious look in his face and I tried to listen to his thoughts, I could do it all the time with everyone but him, my mother and my sister.
They had the ability to silence their minds when they wanted, because they didn’t like me reading them. I was scared, what had I done? Nothing that I could remember, I was walking slowly behind him through a new path I had never seen in my life.
I knew the foggy forest like the palm of my hand, I enjoyed listening to the animals and being in the nature, I even had a secret hideout, but I had never ever seen this path. It was full of spiky bushes, it was darker and had lit torches every few trees. I could imagine my father had lit the torches while I was opening my presents, which were quite strange.
There was a map of the world, a strange horn, traveler's clothes and a really peculiar pendant. I imagined my family wanted to do something special and I said nothing so I didn’t ruin their mood, they were especially happy for some reason, but I had a strange feeling about today, I had had a strange dream, --My dreams normally came true-- but this one was like a fantasy dream, where I traveled around the world in a big fox-like being, it was beautiful but not likely to happen.
My mind had been wondering so much I didn’t realize my father had stopped so I bumped into him. He took a deep breath and stepped aside so I could see what was before me. I couldn't believe my eyes, I had dreamt about this when I was a little kid, a big black temple. It was beautiful, it was like seven stories high, it had big windows that were covered in leafs and bugs so I couldn’t see the inside, it was made of a strange material I couldn't recognize, but what mostly caught my attention was the statue in front of the temple, it was a girl, but I was looking at her back so I couldn’t see much, the only thing I recognized was she had the same clothes my family had given to me about one hour ago, I couldn't understand what was happening, it was exactly the same.
The black shoes with purple socks, black tights and purple dress that came down one inch above the knee, a black long-sleeve shirt, purple and white sleeves and a pink bow in the waist that was tightened in the back.
What on earth was this? It was some kind of joke, my family wanted to joke around, I looked at my father, knowing I would find a big smile in his face, the same smile he did every time he joked with someone, but all I saw was a serious, cold face, I was scared, this was serious, I could recognize that face, the same face I saw when grandpa died, what was happening?
I could use an explanation, but I was curious about the statue, she looked familiar, so I walked around her with my eyes closed, until I was face-to-face with her, I opened my eyes and I tried to hold back my scream, but I couldn’t, my father didn’t look surprised when i walked back, horrified.
I could imagine my face at that moment, I was pale, maybe a little green, my eyes were stuck to the girl's familiar face, my mouth was opened but I no longer had the strength to emit any sound from it, I was petrified, maybe more petrified than the statue of the girl before me.
I shall explain what I saw when I opened my eyes, it was me. The same eyes, my purple eyes, that is the first thing I saw, then I looked at her nose, her perfect little nose, her big mouth with big lips, her ears wearing the earrings my mom gave to me when I turned nine, her purple hair, the same cut I had, the same pink hairpin I had received for my thirteenth birthday, the same neck wearing the pendant I had received, the same body, the same way of standing, the same position I stood in when I was waiting for someone, the same expression, it was the living image of me, but in stone.
It had to be a joke, there was no way my father could have done that, there was no person in the village that could do a statue like that, besides it was harder to do because I had not posed.
I looked at my father again, who was standing in the same spot with the same cold face, I was scared, for some reason I felt I had to go inside, but I wouldn’t go inside without an explanation, I managed to move a little closer to my father, close enough to be able to look him in the eyes, I swallowed to clear my dry throat and then managed to ask a question.
-What is going on, father?- He didn’t answer, he didn’t even look at me, he just started walking towards the wooden door, a wood I had never seen before, the door was carved by hand, you could see that, it had images of a sun, a moon, a star, a skull, a flame, water, ice, a thunder, a rock, wind and a fox, all those things formed a circle, and there, was my face carved. That was the centre of the doors, the borders had strange letters carved in it, letters I could not recognize, and I knew a lot of languages, my parent were very strict about the studying and I was very smart, so I knew much more than any person in the village.
My father stopped, he looked around and asked me to come with his hand, I was not going anywhere until I got an explanation. He kept calling me with his hand, but I didn’t move a muscle, he had ignored me and practically walked over me, he had brought me to this horrible place that had a statue of me and he wasn’t speaking to me. I was very mad at him, but he turned around and his cold face broke into pieces, he looked at me with a warm smile and held out his hand, I could understand he wanted me to take his hand and go with him, but I wasn’t sure, and then I heard someone speaking, he had thought of something without silencing his mind, I had to concentrate, he was calling me.
-Sheena, darling please come, only you can open this door, I would like to explain everything but I can not speak here, when we get inside "she" will explain everything- And then he silenced his thoughts.
Damn, I was so curious, I had to go, but what did he mean with he can not speak here? Who was she, the statue? No, it couldn’t be the statue, I was the statue, and would I see something? Too many questions and I would get no answers, so I grabbed my father's hand and he pushed me in front of him and stepped back, I knew I had to open the door, but, how?
