An Army!

Seronn and Hurin walked out their house. There were hundreds of evil beings gathered there. They came in all shapes and sizes. Master Hurin! they called out. There was a lot of chatter and noise from the evil beings. He raised his hand to acknowledge them! They were happy to see him there. They looked at Seronn and sneered, " Who is this?" was some of the voices that popped up. A few of the witches there hissed at him. "Are you afraid" asked Hurin to Seronn. Sometimes , Yes, he replied. He looked at Hurin. When I take the blood out of my enemies, I get afraid about the power I hold. Hurin took a step back and was scared for the first time in a very long time. Seronn stepped forward and stood there looking straight at the crowd. Their sneering and noise slowly ceased to exist. The witches however were not the least bit concerned about Seronn, they hissed and cursed without any hesitation. Seronn did not care about any witches. He was about to take another step forward, but the witches stopped their cursing. He looked back, it was Adriella. There was complete silence among them. " Event these witches seem to be terrified of her" thought Seronn. Adriella spoke" The time is almost here, she said". The time for us to take back what is ours, she said to them. They all cheered and the witches had an evil laughter. In a short time, when the moon is full again and just when it starts to bleed, we will wage war against our enemies, said Adreilla. There was an even bigger cheer now. Seronn stepped back and stood next to Adriella. " Who do we wage war against" asked Seronn." The Marakese" she replied. The Marakese? asked Seronn. Yes, The Marakese, she replied. Time for me to take back what is mine. " Those mountains up there, she pointed" those large mountains where the Marakese live, will be mine once again. " Archimedes?" uttered Seronn. What was that? asked Adriella. Nothing? he replied to her.

"Adriella and her brother were four hundred years old". They were born as Marakese and lived there in the mountains during the time of Viktor. Adriella was the younger sister of Hurin. And when Adriella was born, she bought a curse to her parents. The minute she opened here eyes, both her parents passed away. She was treated as a curse by the Marakese, her own people. No one looked into here eyes ever since. Only Hurin had survived her eye!. So she was locked up in a room her whole life and Hurin was the only one who had spoken to her all those years. The Marakese slowly pushed them away, both her and Hurin. Their houses were pushed to the furthest corners of the mountains. And when Hurin went inside to the center of their town, he was hurled abuses and kids threw stones at him. " The witches brother" they had called him. SO, Hurin only went and bought things from the market only when it was dark. He hunted alone and he lived alone except for his sister. Some nights , he would sit alone and watch those spaceships go up in the sky. The spaceships interested him so much that he went and found out that it was Viktor who was building it. Hurin then got a dream to work under with Viktor. So, one night when it was dark, Hurin went to the house of Viktor and knocked on the door. Viktor opened it and he looked at Hurin. For a good few seconds there! Hurin stood there outside not knowing what to do. Come in! said Viktor to Hurin. What do you want? he asked him. I want to build the ships like you, said Hurin. Viktor laughed. If I help you, they will burn the both of us in middle of the town, replied Viktor. You can teach me at night, when no one is there to see, said Hurin. Are you being serious here? asked Viktor. Yes, he said. I will help you, said Hurin. Please go to your home, said Viktor and pushed him away from his home. The problem was when Hurin was pushed away from the home of Viktor, someone saw him coming out of Viktors house in an amicable fashion." He had a smile on his face, when he left the house "The news spread far and wide in the colony". Many people went to the house, threatening him and hurdling curses at him. The very same people that night went and put a fire on the house of Adriella and Hurin. " They ran for their lives crossing the north and deep into the forests".

So you are a Marakese, asked Seronn. Yes, replied Adriella. But you do not look like one, he said to her. Yes, we looked like them until we came to the forests. Once we entered the heart of the forest we were taken in , by it. Given new powers and a life for a thousand years, she said to him. And of course we were given new faces, she said to him. "The forests have been kind to you" said Seronn to Adriella. " They shall be kind to you too , she said to Seronn!" No one is kind to me, not the gods, not the forests, not any lands , he said to her. You shall see, said Adriella promising him of hope.
