Salvation
The fog in the forest was thick. As if to shield the tragedy from the world that was about to occur. The trees swayed in agony, and the stars twinkled brightly in warning. For even they wept in despair, for they could not prevent what was destined to happen. A distraught mother ran through the forest with bunched up cloth clutched to her chest, tiny legs swinging from beneath it. Her feet padded the ground, each step bringing her closer to the spot that was salvation in dire times. The growls and shouts behind her were inhuman. The beast has come to kill her child, for she showed signs of great power that will put their existence to death. The beast has a truce with the humans that if they keep their world normal, they would reward them with ultimate freedom. In return, they had to kill all the mythical beings and make sure they stayed banished from the human world. Her child came of age where signs of her witch powers would be shown, no matter how hard the mother tried to hinder them with medicine, the child's powers were too strong, and they were going to be the death of her.
