Mortal Stories

A Star

A star, she had always looked up at the sky to one star. The same star night after night. If the night was cloudy she would glance up at the sky for hours just to try and view her star.

When she was growing up her parents had told her stories about the great lord Tarin, they had always for some unknown reason pointed out the star and mentioned it in almost every story. It was because of this that each night when she prayed to her lord she sought out that star. If she had stopped and thought about it she would have realised that her lord would hear her prayers whenever she said them and that there was no need to seek out the star in the nightly sky.

She was deep in her prayers one clear night, oblivious to what was going on around her. Even is she hadn’t been so deep in thought she would have struggled to hear the very faint approaching foot steps. She might have however sensed the presence standing over her, silently watching her every breath.

The presence smiled evilly, slowly drew a small dagger, towered over the young girl and quickly slit her throat. To late Tarin realised what had happened. As the young follower slumped to the ground, never to take a breath again thunder rolled across the sky as Tarin released his anger.

Arelian slipped quietly into the shadows smiling. She looked back at the small body and smiled 'another one of Tarins followers dead by her hand' she thought as she moved off in search of more.
