The Nain Rouge: A Short Story

755 Words4 Pages

"Just fine," Selene replies, but the Nain Rouge isn 't paying attention to her, her focus immediately going to Sauron as soon as his dark nature is brought out. The darkness around her seems to point at him, slowly focusing energy around him. The okinta everyone has starts to slowly build in its luminescence, and especially is, as raw and unchecked it is in him from the seemingly endless space it has had to grow and accumulate within him. The Nain Rouge lets out a witchy cackle. "Oh, my dear, dear, [i]dear[/i] poor Sellina. You just can 't seem to catch a damn break, can you? You 've even got Gwyn ap fuckin ' Nudd on your dream team and you still don 't see what 's underneath your noses!" She exclaims, clapping her small hands in delight. …show more content…

Sephane nods. "Definitely," she agrees. The Rouge looks over at them. "Haven 't y 'all heard? I 'm kind of possessed!" She shouts, her last word morphed, demonic and terrifying. Sellina forgets to yell for them to step into the wards, instead summoning all the okinta she can and covering them with it in a thick shell as the Nain Rouge sends a tidal wave over them. Shadows that have manifested themselves run towards the wards and beat against them, and shadows that haven 't dive at the group, only to be dissipated. Meanwhile, Selene grabs her sword and keeps her okinta swirling around herself, but breaks from the group 's shell and starts cutting through the shadows in an attempt to get at the Nain Rouge. She can 't find her anywhere. Shadows are grabbing her arms, howling in her ears, and she lets her focus drift for half a second when one trips her until she feels one grab her skin where it 's been revealed on her calf and start to try and latch on, boring into the skin. She starts screaming and scrambling back, slicing desperately with her sword and trying to keep others at bay, but there 's so many, there are so many shadows and the one at her leg has caught the attention of others, and they 're all scratching at her skin, and she can feel them all there, feel that smoky

    In the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst, creates a story about a boy named Doodle who was born with disabilities and his brother makes plans to kill him. In paragraph 5 on the first page of the story, Hurst writes, “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.” This clearly makes readers think that the narrator wants him dead, and the narrator isn’t grateful for what kind of brother he has. This clearly brings up that it was the narrator 's fault that Doodle died. He left Doodle out in the storm on purpose and ran away, the narrator had plans to kill him earlier on in the story, and everyone expected Doodle to die right when he was born.
