Descendant of Elroy

At some time in the past, mortals and immortals dwelled together living under one law, jealousy and enviousness grew within mortals and caused a separation. At this point, mortals left the way of peace, hatred and lust for too many things filled the hearts of men, kingdoms rose against each other, and war and destruction shook the foundation of Earth leaving no hope for survival. Amidst it all, a little ray of hope appeared, a monk who at his death gave a prophecy of a child born to save Earth and restore it to its former glory. Centuries after this, the war persists, many have died, many went into hiding and many are still fighting with the hope of the coming saviour, whose day of existence is unknown and Earth was moving to its peak of destruction At this point, the immortal mortal world chose to help, and the Fay(fairies) were asked by the council to send helpers to Earth. Alora, the fays crown princess and her sister Laurel were sent as helpers. Living in a destructive world with no hope of what tomorrow holds, Alora broke the most sacred rule of the fay by having an extramarital affair with a mortal, which the fay has sworn not to have anything to do with. During this period the war grew severe and worse than usual, many died and thousands were taken captive including Alora and Laurel who later escaped into the mountains. Alora at this period was heavy with a child that she could barely walk. “Alora we need to move fast, it's going to rain anytime from now.” Laura said, desperation evident in her voice. “Laurel hold on I feel the child,” Alora said sitting with her hand on her belly. “Don't tell me you want to give birth here, let's walk further a bit, we will find a suitable place.” Laurel encouraged helping her up. “I can't hold it, Laurel, I don't have any strength left am sorry.” Alora let out a heavy breath as she tried to calm herself. Suddenly the clouds opened and spat out their beads of water. puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. Alora staring at the floor said, “Laurel my water just broke.” “Ok, let's do this.” Laurel helped her into a cave to prevent getting wet. A clanking sound could be heard from the sky, it was like a huge anvil was dragged across the vault of heaven against its will. lightning stretched out from the sky to earth Labour was supposed to be easy at least for a supernatural being, but Alora went through endless pains for ten hours in unceasing rain before she finally gave birth. “It is a girl,” Laurel said as she observed the child gently. “look she has a phoenix symbol on her shoulder, that is her soul symbol she has immense tenacity which will be the primary source of her strength, if am not mistaken the saviour has been born Alora you gave birth to the saviour,” Laurel said in tears and with a sigh of relief. “Maybe Papa would reduce my punishment a little now, am sorry little sister but you have to continue alone from here.” Alora said breathless. “What are you saying Alora?” Laurel asked in confusion. “I’m sorry Laurel, I have to leave.” She whispered and slowly her body vanished as she closed her eyes. “No!” Laurel cried. After several minutes of looking at where her sister once lie, Laurel carried the child and continued the journey. She walked tirelessly for two days before she found a hut, not wasting another minute she ran to the hut, and a man and a child of about seven years old came out of the hut. “How can I help you?” The man asked giving a questioning and suspicious look. “I’m sorry if I’m disturbing you, can I get somewhere to stay, I promise to pay you back.” Laurel pleaded, tiredness evident in her voice. “It is hard to help this day am sorry.” The man said looking unsure. It was indeed hard to help because of the war. She could be a spy. “Please at least for the sake of this child, I have been walking for two days now.” Laurel said as she held on tightly to the child. “Okay, I will feel like a bad person if I don't help, come in you should change before we head to the village, I have extra clothes if you don't mind.” He finally said after looking at them for a while. “Mind? Of course not.” Laurel gratefully replied. After some minutes of walking, they got to where the man lived. “This is nice, it's like the war never took place here.” Laurel said looking at people as they passed. “Yes, you will be free here. The war doesn't extend here.” He said looking at her still holding the child tightly. “I’m grateful.” She said as he stopped in front of a house. “This is my house you should make use of that of the room over there, there are clothes in the wardrobe in case you want to change.” He said pointing her to a room when the got in. “Clothes?” She asked, ‘Why would a man have female clothes?” she thought. As if listening to her thought, he said, “There are my late wife's.” “Oh! okay, thanks.” she replied. “I will go get things for your baby.” He said as she moved towards the room. “Thank you so much, I will pay you back, i’m Laurel.” “I’m Howard and my son's Ted.” He said as she smiled as she made her way into the room Later in the Fays world, after Alora’s soul has decended. “Your child broke the most sacred law…” The council stated “It favoured mortals, and if my child didn't, no one would and her name implies light, it was given by the gods and she gave that light to mortals, so she should not be punished.” Elory, Alora’s father and the king of Fay’s cut in defensively. “Okay.” the council said looking from one person to another. And they nodded. “We sent you and you agreed to help therefore your child is free from the punishment but it should never repeat itself in future...” “I promise it won't.” Elroy cuts in once more as he stands up. “I would assume the council has ended his verdict.”
