Somewhere in the south, 15 years ago...
It was so rainy that night that one could barely see the sky. The arrogant Guitan was in her house, again complaining about her life. She blamed everyone for being who she was, even though it was all the result of her own past deeds. Since small, Guitan envied others’ accomplishments. That ugly character made her abnegate her own family while desiring the misfortune of her younger sister, who Guitan had the biggest envy of all. She believed that the young girl stole from her all her dreams and wishes.
And every day was the same.
After much complaining to herself, she laid down in her bed. It was very late when Guitan heard someone shouting her name. Apprehensive, she went down the stairs and opened the door. Fate doing or not, she met the person she detested the most. And that person held what it looked like a small package in her arms, with a face filled with despair.
"Guitan, please, help me!" Said Sophia, her “despicable” sister.
“There is no time. My husband and I are facing the abyss and here I carry the hope of the new world, my daughter. Please, I beg you! You are the only one I can trust. Hide her and take care as if she were your own. New times are coming, and they know it. The world government knows, and they will not tire until she is killed.
Sophia then delivered the little child into the hands of the arrogant woman, along with a sack, full of coins. "Why me?" Guitan exclaimed immediately. "After all those years, you appear in front of me to ask me such a favor. I will not gain anything from it, only problems. This bastard creature will only trouble me. Her existence is unacceptable, and you know it as well as I do!”
"You're the only one I can still trust. Blood of my Blood. They will never find you and you know it, sister! Within that bag, there is 400,000 worth of coins. I think this will be enough money for few years. That is all I got for now, but I promise to send you more. I hope soon we will be able to send someone to retrieve her. Take good care of her and you will save this continent. You will save the world. Do this for our departed parents. Remember she is still your niece Guitan.” Said the woman, touching her precious daughter for the last time, and turning her back to the house, heading toward the sea.
Guitan entered the house and stared at the solemnly sleeping child. What would she do with that creature in her arms?
