Abi had a dream!
She was in her baby doll night gown and she found herself in a plain of darkness
She started to walk then she heard a voice, the voice warm and soothing but seemed to come from all around. The voice for all its coldness dint scare here no it was what the voices said that did
Your powers are calling to you Abi, cant you fell it the yearning for pain and violence. You must embrace it my sweet. Its time to show your father what you can do
Abi was terrified now so scared was she that she lost control and wet herself.
She cried out to the surrounding inky blackness
What do you want; show yourself im not afraid of you. Show me who you are!
The voice laughed and then whispered
As you wish
then a flock of crows flies together and circle each other then becomes the shape of a women, with long read hair wearing a black dress, her eyes were green of the purest emerald and her face full of pain she was chained to a post and her face was tear streaked.
Here I am my dear you must avenge me.
Abi screamed in terror as she recognised her mum form the pictures she had salvaged form the bin who died when she was 1 who was chained to the post with the spiked chains
MUMMY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YO UWHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS WAHO DID THIS TO YOU, I WIL LDESTROY THEM!
The women spoke quietly to her daughter
Come closer my sweet come and realise me from torment I beg you please the pain is indescribable the w women was weeping now bitterly in pain as the chains bit deeper.
You must help me my child you must break the wards around me so I can be free from this. Then around the chained up woman 5 wards appeared in unbroken circles around her
First was the ward of fire. The ward of rage and suffering to ward against evil
Next was the ward of water. The ward loyalty and cleansing to ward against lies
Third was the ward of earth a great ring of jagged stones. The ward of justice and strength. The ward against treachery
Then the ward of the storm impassable: the ward of ignorance and selfishness the ward against all dark or corrupting influence
The final ward was the ward of light the ward of purity and healing. The ward against dark magic.
Abi dined not know the truth of what her mother had done to end up like this all she saw was her mummy trapped and suffering behind walls of elemental energy.
Another voice told her
No leave her here she is trapped for her sins she can never be realised. Realising her would doom your whole family and all your friends. Leave her just walk away she is not your mother any more child I swear this to be true.
