A BLOOD RED SKY

Thayru, a beautiful young woman, belonged to the Hakarayum Tribe, she was the granddaughter of the old wise man of that Tribe, who could perceive the future. One night the wise man sensed something bad, it was like that, while they slept the village is attacked by men on horses, capturing all the young people, among them Thayru, chosen by the one who called himself the Leader, separating her from the group.
Among the prisoners was Eithan, the strongest of the young warriors and who loved Thayru; he managed to outwit the guards and freed the slaves, together they tripled their oppressors. The enemy was eliminated, Eithan goes in search of Thayru, but the Leader had taken her. Eithan throws an arrow at the man who has it and it falls to the ground, Thayru runs but the Leader fires and murders her.
Eithan screams in pain taking her in his arms, the sky turned red as blood. While in the village the wise man knew what was happening, he looked up at the sky, gave a last breath and collapsed dying.

At that moment Thayru breathes very strong, his grandfather with his last breath had returned his life!
