Sometimes the most beautifull things can turn deadly or have you not heard of the term dammed beauty...

The thing is this is a similar concept, because you surely have heard of the healing powers of the tears of the phoenix... Well i had those powers and they were my dammnation as much as they were salvation for others...

Hello my name is Althea Rose Ignis and I am the Last flos ignis (fire flower) of the Ignis family one of the ten royal families of Reges terra.

Flumen, Dives lutum, Ignis, Folium, Arbor, Solis, Luna, Stella pulvis, Aurum, Fulgur and the royal regent family Pura lux Regis who founded Reges more than a thousand years ago and being part of one of these families was a pain to deal with , that was if you had only the normal abilities forget the fact that I was born with an ability not seen in a hundred years.

'Mom,Dad I miss you Nathaniel misses you too , God he is only five years old, did you know that I heard him cry last night begging God to bring you back so that you could keep us safe so that it wouldn't hurt anymore, so that everything would go back to normal and that they had promised to give him a little brother soon he asked if you had taken the baby with you to heaven and why didn't you take us to...' the young girls shoulders shook with the sobs that were wrecking her frame and she looked at the form of Nath' sleeping curled with tears trails on his baby face. She reached out and stroked his shoulder length hair and started crying anew as she remembered the beating uncle Jason gave him...

*flashback...

'stop please, stop... uncle Jason it hurts' cried Nath' with tears in his eyes but our supposed uncle kept swinging the whip on the bloodied form of my five year old brother. 'Stop,please stop. I'm begging you uncle Jason, he did nothing wrong . He is only five...' he is only five years old kept swirling in my head but he did not listen and finally the restrains on my wrist broke and I rushed at them shielding Nath with my body . The hurt was nothing if it meant that my inoccent baby brother would not suffer anymore... after a while the whipping stopped and Jason went out with a final 'useless brats you better keep your mouths shut or else...' he left the threat open ended cause we knew what he would do to us.

flashback end*...

Afterwards I gave Nath a few drops of my tears so that he would not be in pain anymore , my wounds healed after an hour.

But Nath cried and cried in my arms, untill his little body couldn't anymore and fell asleep .

'Don't worry anymore little brother , soon we will get out of here. soon I with have the illusion necklaces that we need in order to hide and with the money that I hid it will be enough to escape, I have already copied the oldest tomes in our library as well as fathers sword and mothers locket , soon we will be free...'

This has been going on for a year, this is the second time he beat Nathaniel this month, my poor brother, my poor innocent baby brother...

Damn that inheritance, that pile of lifeless junk is not worth my brother's life.

She looked towards Nath. 'Just a few more days Nath, just a few more days and you with be safe' whispered the thirteen year old to herself as she cradled her baby brother in her arms 'just a few more days' and closed her eyes and fell asleep...TBC
