The little boy grew up like a normal kid, raised by the old woman that helped him survive his birth. Now 9 years old, he was playing outside with his father's old katana.
"Be careful with that, Terry!" said the old woman, and she sat down again next to the man she was talking to, "He's very energetic. Like his mother."
"Don't mention her. I have forgotten who she was."
"No, you didn't."
"Don't try to talk guilt into me, Christine. She cursed me with this kid, he took her away from me. They're both guilty."
"Why do you hate the Dar'rians so much, Alex?"
The man took a deep breath, "They were the reason my parents were killed. We were trying to protect them from the other humans, but we paid the ultimate price."
"But still you married their princess."
"I loved Norayell. She swore to give up her believes. She gave up that cursed emerald on her forehead. She lost her powers... Or at least, that's what she told me."
The woman looked him in the eyes and smiled, "Sometimes, even when we give up that what we believe in, those that follow will carry on a part of that very same believe. Don't blame Norayell, don't blame this kid."
"THEN WHO SHOULD I BLAME!?" the man suddenly got up, "That kid is a curse. Nothing good can come from that."
"Is that why you took his destiny away from him?"
"I WILL NOT LET A SON OF MINE BECOME MY OWN PEOPLE'S DOOM!"
The woman got up too, but more gentle than the man, "His destiny is not ours to decide, or to prevent. When the time comes, he WILL follow that path. The real question is, will he be able to forgive you when the time comes?"
A deadly silence was broken only by a short phrase that would end the entire talk forgood.
"This conversation is over," the man said, and he walked away. In the nearby distance, Terry put the sword down and watched as his father walked out of his life.
