It was raining again, the winds none stop bashing against the shutters was driving Saella to insanity.  She had enough.

She groaned, " Mother, when does it ever not Rain, Hail or Thunder on this part of the Isles?".

Her Mother, Daelle, sighed at her daughter's comment. "The gods' are showing their emotions my dear, there is nothing one can do if the gods are saddened".

Saella wondered what the gods were saddened about this time, the last time she had seen the Sun's rays were on her and her Brother's Nameday - which was over a full moon ago.

She wondered why on only the days did her family hold dear did the Sun truly make an appearance.

She was curious to why and if the Gods had meant for this, she wondered if the village people had noticed that on the special days to her family the Sun would rise, shine and remain there until the daylight's end, but as soon as the sunset came, the cold winds would hit and hail would slam against the village of Fyreon and the whole Isle of Korai.

She had wondered why them? What made them so special!

Her father was dead, Her mother, her Brother and herself were all that remained of her family.
She did not know if it was their Pale Skin, their blonde hair, or if it was their strange Silver Grey eyes no one other than her Mother and Brother and herself possessed.

But one difference stood between Saella and her family, a single large streak of red in her hair.
An unnatural crimson shone on the left side of her hair  right by her ear.

Did the Grey of their eyes or the red in her hair have meaning or was it just the Gods error in her family's making.
