Antebellum

There was a girl who was born on Winter Solstice Eve. She belonged to the Noq people. The people of startling beauty with their stark silver hair and piercing Amethyst eyes.  She was a sight for sore eyes for everyone to see. Her looks alone could make anyone fall in love with her. Whether you were a Noq or not. She was just that exquisite. After she was born she was named the most gorgeous girl of them all. Some said her beauty was a gift. A power. But really, her beauty was just part of the curse that she was born with.

        There was a girl, along with everyone else of the commonplace did not understand the horror that came with this child after birth. Only the Myxtes understood. They tried to warn the villages that this girl would release horror, but they had already fallen too deep. They were in love with this girl. Not realizing that it would be this very girl, twenty years later, who would ruin the peace between all peoples.

        As a Noq tradition, a Myxtis was sent down every time a child in the village was born. This Myxtis would name the child and give him or her a gift.

            There was a girl who was gifted the power of lithe and speed.

            There was a girl who was named…Antebellum.
