Rebirth of a Tongue Curser
Catalina was neither a man nor woman. Or could be said a human or an animal. she was just unknown being that tried to build a friendly environment she saw in her hometown. As she walked the earth, Catalina promised herself she will indeed make the barren land into a charming world.
However, one thing a being like her could not understand every desire of a human, the people she thought will support her that loved her entirely would shield a knife behind their back and stabbed her where she could not stand anymore and would be left to die on agony on the same land she soil.
That garden of roses she walked up on during her leisure time, who could have expected to be an unknown grave for herself?
Disappointed, she curses those who did that to her to suffer and would not be happy eternity unless they are forgiven by herself. on top of that, she curses herself to not undergo a rebirth, a second chance like many of her kind.
A friend of her was a witness but could not tell Catalina what happened was actually a misunderstanding. A poor friend did a taboo and reversed the curse.
Centuries passed, a soul returned to dwell into a breathing body. A twin was born in a forbidden land. A genius and a talented young girl.
Layla is a caring sister and always protect the little one from any insults cast on her younger sister for not having any magical abilities that should be passed on to a being such as them.
They kept on saying that the little twin is identical to the extinct human species, full of greed and odd way of thinking. Instead of calming her, the kids said she was adopted.
Well, none knows she is the reason for the safety of the villagers, the creations she invented from time to time is what kept them safe from the binge eating demon that preying on them.
One day, a mistake lead her to be cast outside of the forest which meant she would be eaten alive by those demon. Accepting her faith, she saved by someone. That man made her realize, her people had it wrong. They are other civilization outside the forest she dwell her entire life.
Human the assumed to bring apocalypse to the world, is still around and they are nice unlike the story foretold.
Encountering, household every household, she could feel, this is not the first time walking here. Some other things are familiar to the touch.
"You are stronger that you imagine. Only if you remember who you are" the man that saved her constantly said that.
"How do I remember?''
"I don't know. You need to remember it, and if you happen to remember it, I hope the smile on your face won't fade away"

the story is good overall if you skip some parts here and there especially about nationalism. it would have been much better if the story background was another world, to begin with. The worst I think about nationalism was that the Chinese were protecting tigers who are famous to poach wild tigers( have more tigers in tiger farm for their pinuses than in wild) for their pinuses and Russians are killing them where only the last few Siberian tigers remain. can't say writer had much knowledge about the Siberian tiger current situation
