*********************

A little girl with blonde hair,her was tied into two ponies, dressed in a beautiful pink dress, bounced down from upstairs bouncing to the woman standing behind the counter making something. The girl was only 8 years old, mama, mama she called as she hopped to her mother's side, seeing her the woman's face brighten and she smiled down at the beautiful girl all dolled up.

Switching off the gas, she squat down to the same level as the little, I can see you are ready she tickled her stomach receiving a peal of happy and beautiful giggle in response, my love would you like to drink some soup, I made chicken soup, thats your favourite right? the little girl nodded in response, so would you like some my little pink her mother asked.

Nodding her head, she received a kiss on the forehead before her mother stood up to dish out the food. She finished drinking the soup and was ready to leave after giving her mother a kiss on both cheeks, have fun pink and stay close to uncle Blake her mother reminded, she made eye contact with her husbands oldest companion, and in response the man nodded i will take care of her he made a silent promise, causing the woman to mouth a thank you, okay! her daughter caught her attention, I will she replied as she ran towards the door reaching it, she turned and waved at her mother.

The party was a 40 minute drive from her house, reaching, she didn't even wait for the car to be opened for her she did it on her own, and the moment her legs hit the ground she took off in full speed not even stopping to wait for the man she had been asked to stick around.

Reaching the big hall, where the party was been held, a boy with black hair, a beautiful ocean blue eyes, and 10 years of age run towards her and locked her in a tight embrace. The boys name was Leo Peter Leonard a childhood friend of hers, this is your gift she said giving him the three gift bags she carried in, accepting it he drag her along to show his friend but not after informing his parent of his little friends arrivals and the greeting between the parents and child.

After the greeting Leo dragged her to introduce her to the other children, the moment the reach the circle of playing children whose attention was called by the new guest, woooow you eye are scary exclaimed more the half the children, before Leo could even start the introduction,the hall was almost empty as many of the children had run to seek refuge behind their parents and some stayed not moving, the little girl who had dolled up beautifully to not be outcast again had tear in her eyes as she realised people where still afraid of her, about to run off a girl of the age 6 stood up and faced her with her hand outstretched, hey I am Demeter but you can call me Demi like Leo and all of my friends do, I..I.. I mean, no my name is Maiaura, my friends, looking down she said I mean Leo calls me Maia, nice name as unique as your beautiful eyes, blushing Maia thanked her and also complented her brown bright eyes, almost as though the eyes are sparkling with light, she looked at Demi then looked at Leo's but the is a difference, Leo's blue eyes has never caught fire or had spark in them, but this girls own did she thought as she continued staring at her eye, yours are even more beautiful she replied.

A gifted or cursed child Maiaura was born as, but she didn't know which category she falls under, all she knows is that her different eyes colours has made it impossible for her to associate with children her age since forever, the children were either too afraid to be close to her or dislike the fact she was different and because of this she had become a lonely and smart child with her only friend being Leo.

Her eyes was seen as a medical condition by adults so they console her but her parents always assured her that the reason she was different was because she was special. So she had always lived with that as her comfort, I am unique I don't have to follow the crowd that's what's beautiful about me, she had always sang this as a Mantra to herself for motivation, for an eight years old she had learnt to cope will with loneliness.

The party continued, with the children divided into groups as the others were still afraid of Maiaura, the other children played together whiles the birthday boy and Demi played with Mai. The party went on well with all the children playing and having fun.

Whiles playing Mai had noticed some big, the colour of silver falling to the ground, though it didn't make a loud noise it did make a sound which apparently was only heard by her, leaving the two behind she had wondered into the beautiful garden that belonged to the Leonard's in search of what she had seen, walking around her leg hit a stick and she fell and scratched her hand which had started to bleed.

Before she can even get up she saw, something lying on the floor, distracted she got up and cautiously walked up to the animal on the floor.

A mystical beast, a beautiful silver nine tailed fox the last of its kind, companions to the first generations of blessed , it had been trapped by the curse of death in the doom of betrayal by the blessed to the gods. Eight years ago on a blood moon night, he had felt a boost of power, which he had used and fought for eight years to break the doom, and this evening he got another boost of energy which enable him to awaken his nine tails and the powerful force of the awakening had collided with the doom destroying it and every thing in sight, using its last strength the fox had flown off and by instinct had landed where Mai was, and srank to the size of a dog and died.
