Her beginning

"Get away from here!" screamed the crying woman who layed down, almost lifeless.

A little girl, barely the age of 13, stood hopeless. The houses were burning down, falling down one by one while the raging fire began to spread faster and faster. The village of Yin was being burned down, covered in blood. The stench of blood lingered around every inch of the air. What was she suppose to do?

"Zixio! Run! Run away from here, Hurr-", the dying woman failed to finished her sentence as more and more blood flooded out.

With tears overfilling her deep blue eyes, she turned her back and ran. Her tears blurred her vision but she didn't dare stop. Her lungs stung and ached but her legs kept running. She faced the dark woods and adrenaline flushed out. She ran in.

Zixio didn't stop until she accidentally tripped on her ashed dress. Her foot stung from aggressively stomping on sharp tree branches and stones. She glanced behind her, only to see the darkness. The only source of light was the full moon gleaming on Zixio's silver and smooth hair.

Yin was a large village who respected the Tians, who are said to be the Goddess' favorite children. Their unique silver hair made them stand out and were said to bring prosperity and good fortune. Their beauty and talent made the neighbouring states envious, but they didn't dare offend the Tians for it is said they shall be punished. The people of Yin all had deep blue eyes, but only the Tians had silver hair. Zixio Tian, was the only daughter of the Tians and was beloved by all. Or so she had thought.

Who was trying to kill her? Why did they want her? Zixio was surrounded by the questions she wanted answers to. She missed her parents, her friends, and the people of Yin, who had sworn their loyalty to her. Her eyes closed, and her body became numb.

Zixio was awoken by the sound of galloping horses and yells of the soldiers. Instinctively, she hid behind a large tree and grabbed the mud which she covered her hair so she wouldn't get noticed. With her muddy hands, she covered her mouth to quiet her breathing.

"Search for that girl!" ordered a deep voice from one of the soldiers

Zixio guessed that he was the Commander since he was giving out the order

"If you do not find that girl, all of you shall be beheaded!" said the Commander

Zixio was frightened for her life, and layed low as possible. After couple of minutes later, the soldiers headed back. Zixio didn't know why, but she had an urge to follow them. With all her courage, she stood up and quietly followed them.

When she reached her village, everything was burned. Her people, though most dead, some were chained and was forced to follow the enemy. Angrily, Zixio swore she would bring justice to their death.
