I hated this place. Hated it. I hated the kingdom of Erminian. It was not because of the people, or the living conditions. It was rather, because of The Law. The Law only had one rule.. We couldn’t talk badly of Shera in temples, who was the goddess that protected us. Or so they say. If you ask me, Shera has to be false. I don’t even get why we have to obey that rule. I curse her several times a day while sitting in the boring temple, yet nothing happens. I don’t get it. Why must we follow The Law? To me, The Law is like invisible chains, binding us to mindlessly worship a false goddess. Every time I hear someone praise Shera, I can only shake my head in pity at how naive they are. Mother often tells me not to be so rebellious, but it goes in one ear and out the other for me. The Law felt so controlling to me. It bound us to idiotic beliefs, using us like puppets. Until one day. My sister, Fillia, openly protested in a temple. “Shera is stupid!” She cried. “Shera’s just some figment of our imaginations, can’t you fools see that? It’s trapping us under false beliefs!” The temple fell silent. The silence was absolutely deafening as no one said a word, there only being unspoken tension so thick it could be cut with a knife. Then, it happened. A flash of light came through the roof, hitting Fillia square in the forehead. The light was a beautiful and luminous blue colour that slowly started spreading across Fillia’s skin. Soon, her skin was blue. I stared in horror as I saw her face contort into a mask of agony, a bloodcurdling scream escaping her lips. Her eyes, wide with terror became clouded and lost its light. The light was gone. She collapsed. And the only thing I heard was my own scream. Luckily, Fillia was still alive, but the incident left her shaken, and terrified. When I asked her what happened, she shook her head and started mumbling incoherently. A chill went down my spine as I made out two words. “She’s real…” I was wrong after all. And now it seems, I have to obey. The Law will eternally bind us. And we are its puppets.
