Iphigenia’s Warning
Written By Matthew Shadbolt
“A beginning is a very delicate time”
“Death and sadness will be everywhere”
The girl knew the prophecy would come true. She had been warned by her mother, long ago, that one day she would be forced to make a choice that would determine the fate of many. The seer had seen it in her dreams – a sacrifice that would save thousands.
So when the time came, she did not hesitate. Despite her own fears and doubts, she agreed to go through with the ritual. It was only after the blade had been plunged into her chest that she realized her mistake. She should have listened to her heart instead of following what others said was right.
