Chapter V: The Savior
“I sure hope my parents come back
soon.” Tamara said with a look of gloom on her face.
The weather continued to get worse.
Heavy rain poured all over the crops and Tamara was forced to stay inside.
“Ugh. I’m not going to let a little
rain get me down.” She said. “Now where did I put that bokken?”
Remembering she put her wooden sword
in a corner of the kitchen, Tamara left her bedroom and went to find it. But
when she got there it was missing. The dark clouds outside covered what little
light protruded through the windows. Tamara lit a candle, searching once again
for the bokken.
“Now where could it be…”
Just then her candle whished out. A
beautiful blow glow formed in the middle of the kitchen and floated gentle to
the surface of the table. As the brightness disappeared, a small yet beautiful
creature appeared.
“Greetings Tamara.” The Faerie of
Wind said with calm.
Tamara stood back, her eyes wide
with curiosity. Her father taught her long ago not to fear those which she does
not know, and instead to accept each moment as if it were a different one. With
a light bow, Tamara greeted the creature in return.
“Y-your… beautiful…” Was all she
could manage.
The Faerie of the Wind chuckled. Her
voice carried with it a peaceful melody that melted young Tamara’s heart. “Thank
you, mortal lady.” She replied.
“What are you doing here?” Tamara
decided to ask.
“You’ve been chosen, Tamara.”
“I have? For what?” Skeptical,
Tamara took a seat and leaned forward closer to the naked creature before her. “I
mean… I’m just a young girl.”
“To be the Savior, of course.” The
Faerie of Wind replied. In her hands was a smaller version of the bokken she
was looking for. Recognizing it, Tamara’s eyes widened with surprise.
“That’s my…” Tamara managed.
The Faerie of the Wind fluttered
back, leaving a trail of golden sparks. When she was off the table, the
beautiful creature transformed into a more human-like form. The bokken, held in
her hands the entire time, now a radiant sword, crackling with energy.
“Sword…?” The Faerie of the Wind
finished. “Yes, and now you will learn to save the world with it.”
