      Revenge

      On a dark stormy night this child was born. The distant forest sung in prayer and the wooden windows in the settlement applauded her birth; but they were the only ones that did. The child looked human but had noticeable horns on her head, the horns of a devil to these people. She had evil looking silver hair and red eyes that were constantly staring; she sent shivers down the villagers’ spines whenever she looked at them.

      A few years had passed since this…thing had been born. The mother was disgusted and outraged at the little mistake, marking it as a fault in her judgement from months long past. The child was named Arcona, which meant the bringer of darkness and despair in local superstition. Arcona could already walk and talk at the tender age of two. The villagers saw this as abnormal and a curse, and did everything they could to put down the poor child.

      Thwack.

      A sharp rock flew by and slugged Arcona at the back of the head while she was doing her daily unreasonable tasks. Blood tainted her silver hair and trickled down her small spine. Arcona didn’t make a sound. She was taught not to speak over the past few years, with constant beatings, and learned the hard way how her society treated her, even at such a delicate age...

      Leave us demon!

      You caused my child to commit suicide! Die!

      Dirty little thing, isn’t she?

      The village troubles were thrown
