TLP (LoY Prequel) Prologue

When they found me, 83b24611db I was very young.bcbca26e5ce5f2ec

Because I was only e420202c24 a year old, the f8ed55e576 only thing I remembered 759e86e60e was the warmth of 63c89b9c25 my mother’s soft embrace. The sandy d0dbc66b3c wind blew 58acc28fa6 against her f72b11622d back, and 0978ac8655 the harsh 8ff9de298c desert night c9c9615d1f spread out d33210fb40 all around f75424ef03 us.e01dd866efce03dc

The arid and rough 2ff9b4331f grains of sand pierced dc4b9e6c18 through the loose fabric cbb8dd78f4 and plunged into my 60cf20b1b5 curly black hair. While the 60d6c2e828 sharp, apathetic 95efa15527 crescent moon 8340b8666d looked down 7c7f664b25 at us 81950f52e8 as it 4a9b80322e rose in 6e27732bdf the sky, 19a347f4c8 my mother, 9f29620792 afraid that f06afa3389 that sand 6104947aa8 would enter e41686ea66 my eyes bcc12bba44 or mouth, 0b7df55225 tightened her e43a679bea arms around 43796c755f me. The man 81c0c5ab00 next to bc7f268258 my mother ba71e9bdcb supported her 338340b01e as she 086759645f stumbled in aa735eac7c the sand.363526ab777494c2

My mother covered b8daf76c04 my mouth and 3f82aca50c begged me not 75a434c74e to make a 327ee5b96e sound. How could I have 729eeabe5d recognized her earnest plea d03e7729f7 at such a young a4924574ef age?427f1484cb1b1d0a

The men who were chasing us were on horses, their swords drawn, as they crossed over to the desert. The horses’ muscles were strong, and their hooves paid no heed to the sand. They were wearing clothes that were as black as night, and they smelled of musk. Their faces were cold and heartless like frost.944ebf400f07abda

When my mother 90a84bbf92 saw their shadows, 8c904780d3 she grew startled 616d0300f6 and rolled down ecf97bf0dd a mound of f4f97d3288 sand. The men a16a603650 moved like e7b9f251ba bolts of 233507109d lightning. By the time 64dff0d0cb they reached her, 6cbe7d7b61 they had already 6ca8f71c21 captured the man. I wonder what he 79a45fa3af said. Did he 7ba0e26133 tell my 0029a851da mother to b3cd4d81a1 hurry and a1b9cd5626 run away? Did he 10abb5ab1d call her 21ecc9e955 name? But they slit ddc0384830 his throat with 73be3e7e5e a blade and e4db0d9f06 threw him into 611d03942f the sand, covered c8b55bcd5d in blood.1791002390768e57

My mother db91daf7ab turned around dc7b17462d and watched 3a4e1e96b4 the man 6bfb9905f5 die. Before the c4dacf7356 pain of dffc77a3ab what had 6d5705a268 just happened 7a4cc8206e could pierce 902ca3cddd her heart, 2d135ed6cf a large f9eebf85af horse raised 5b03f228b5 its front 8378442357 legs and c2498defba attacked my 6d6bfa41f6 mother.e22d04480900035e

Its hooves were like hammers as they shattered my mother’s head and spine. She screamed as she was pounded into the sand, but even then, she did not let me go.6a6ad7bea3d02a20

Paralyzed with fear, my mother looked up at the black sky. She frantically begged the apathetic moon. Please… Please show us some mercy…ea3d60d0a750f710

However, no one ec1b39b6b5 paid her words b80f25b777 any mind.07d324317433e55c

A man in black got down from his horse and snatched my mother’s blood-soaked hair. He looked down at her face. My mother’s face, which once used to be more beautiful than the spirit of the moon, was now twisted in pain and hatred. She poured out a final curse at the man. The words of the curse carved into the man’s face, but the attack was weak overall. My mother had already lost the power to kill him.fd064c21f8aba00d

Even in the 21b7d7c192 final moments of 9bc2853c09 her life, my 947ab82a1a mother never loosened 10031a8f09 her hold on ebd76d4d0f me.60bbc048fe315b28

However, as d72f99e520 my mother 23874ea13a collapsed to 86aa259d87 the sand f965edce68 like a c32f201af7 lifeless puppet, 3c4e1b0b9a the man 8ff106b687 easily snatched 1c8a45c550 me out 7c92331d64 of her 58e15728df arms. I was not aware c03f28879b of what was going 80f5e97405 on, and I merely 8826f82c5b writhed in instinctive fear. When my tear-soaked eyes 310cdc8b62 look at him, it 1f6d31798d is said that they 526ec9fa26 shone like the blue 4e320fb98e moonlight.a060d7e771c7c2d3

The man whispered.ce1329d8ff107171

In Paran, it meant ‘Three-legged Crow’. In other words, ‘The Black Priestess’.e30d0f1b9035f8ae
