Character Descriptions

A young girl cautiously scooted across the flaming orange and red. Her father had told her never to explore past the forest, into what people called the Entrance to the Dark Lands. Ominous people lived here her father said, ones that would kill to capture her and torture her til her heart bled and her body was mangled like a rag doll shredded by a three headed dog. Such words you might think would never be said between a little girl and her father. But this family was different. And this girl was different too. She did not scream at the thought of being captured and tortured too pulp of non existing dust, her father’s words only made her more curious as to what kind of people would do such a gruesome thing. So she crawled across this burning land and ignored the searing pain it brought to her face.

Always living in water had its up and downs. You could see all the beautiful creatures, but you were stuck inside the building for children for what would seem your whole life. You could only congregate with children of your kind, never looking upon real land. The sky was no were to be found and you could never explore past the barrier walls. Once her mother had told her that they hadn’t lived so far under but a terrible scare had come on the people that had forced them to protect their land. The only way to do so was to make it somewhere no conquering king could reach and that was here in the water. Her mother had also said that someday she would acquire powers that would allow her to explore the open waters and that she was the only cure to the war among nations. To think of these powers and to unite with the generation of all people. She remembered how her mother had died in the water. And now as she looked at it she hated it. A part of her wanted to become part of it just like her mother had, and a part of it wanted to destroy and pollute the unruly waters.
