Part One
Aldrea-Falken
I was only 10 at the time, I guess. I was not a normal human girl though. I had a strange name and strange parents. My father was a Centaur. His name was Alloron-Davisire. A normal centaur, I guess. My mother was human, like I was. I was young then. I didn’t realize that my family was different. Or that none of the of the centaur children really ever appreciated me.I didn't know that humans didn’t belong on centaur homelands. But that was what saved me. It was a warm sunny day. A good day for walking. I had to go to a neighboring town for some special supplies my mother needed. I was on the sixth day of my journey, and the last. I walked slowly, enjoying all the interesting scenery and animals the centaur homelands had to offer. Within an hour I could see the city, sitting atop a hill. I quickened my pace. Finally after 3 hours of hard running, I reached the city. It had grown since I had last been there. It was a military town. Full-grown centaur males, who were princes, swaggered around, daring anyone to bump into them. Others, who were obviously lower class, seemed to duck between the crowds, avoiding everyone. I was scared. I was a little human girl who did not belong. Fortunately I was small enough, that no one seemed to notice me.I made my way to the store, bought the things I needed, and started home. I wasn’t very far when the sun begin to set. It always scared me back then. I always wondered if it would fall on the ground and burn the planet up. I found a nice tree to spend the night in. I lit a fire to keep the predators away. It was like that every night on the rest of my journey. However the last day would be a surprise. I had been traveling for seven days, and I could see home. Or what was left of it. Every thing was destroyed. The houses were burned to the ground. I ran to where my house was. Or had been. It too, was burnt. “Mommy! Daddy!” I cried over and over again. I searched every where. It was behind my house and 100 yards back that I found them. Tears streamed from my eyes as I looked at them. They were still smoking, burn alive. Alive, like they did to witches. But these were my parents. A human female and a male centaur side by side. My parents. Dead. Even though I was young, I knew what to do. I had to go to the city of the king and the queen. I gave my parents a proper burial. Then I went into my house to get some supplies for yet another journey. I was just on my way out when my foot kicked something. I picked it up. It was a dart gun. Next to it was a click of poison-dipped darts. I picked it up. I could use this. I would destroy whoever had killed my parents. They would not live, that I was sure of.I walked out the door and began my Journey to the city of the king and the queen.
Part Two
Aldrea-Falken On the seventh day of my journey, my food supply had grown short, and I had decided to save what I had left, and try hunting. I took out my bow and arrow that I had taken from home and began to walk, searching for any animal that I could take to eat. I heard an animal rustling the leaves off to the side and I went to investigate. There was a large tree in the way, so I crouched low and plulled back the branches gently.I just about sreamed when I saw the "animal".It kinda looked like a weretiger.But the fur was blue and black striped. There were shiny greenish wings on the back. Pointed-cat like ear on the top.By the leg shape you could tell that it usually walked on two legs, but could also move on all fours. But I learned all this later. The first I saw was it's face.Because I was looking him eye-to-eye.Cat-like eyes.GREEN eyes.Fangs.Very big fangs.We both stood there, staring and eachother. The whole world seemed to stop. Then all of the sudden it started going again. We both jerked back an the same time.both reached for our wepons. Mine was the bow and arrow. To my suprise, his was a dart gun with poison tipped arrows. The same that I had found in my house. Anger filled me. I would kill him. I raise the bow. He aimed his dart gun..............
