The curse of the marked

Chapter 1

In Bornland

"What a stupid thing!" Shouted the girl with the blue-black hair and the dark blue eyes flashing with anger. Her name was Lia-Lin-Lit-Din Kamui and she was in the ninth grade of the grammar school in a suburb of Hamburg. She and her friend Melissa had just missed the bus after the seventh hour. That meant the two had to wait ten minutes for the next bus to arrive. To make matters worse, it was also Friday noon, which meant a full ten minutes of the precious time of the Easter break, which lasted only two weeks. Lia and Melissa waited patiently for the next bus. When she finally got home, Lia was greeted stormily by her dog Splatter, who happily circled her with its tail wagging. "I'm back home! What's to eat?", Lia shouted who was happy because it was finally vacation. Nobody answered. Lia was still walking around the apartment of her mother, her sister and her by splashing around.Finally she found a note in the living room. There it said: "Lia the nameless kidnapped me and Sayori. You have to follow him! Take someone you trust with you and go into the bedroom! There is the book of the marked ones. On the first page there is a saying. Hurry up! Love yours Mother. Before Lia could process all this information, the doorbell rang. When Lia opened it, Michael, a boy from her class whom she didn't like, but got math tutoring from him, was standing in front of her. "Hello. ", she said a little more harshly than she had actually intended." Come with me! "she said to him and pulled him with her. They went into her mother's room and there they quickly found the book that her mother had meant On the first page was the slogan. Lia took Michael by the hand and then spoke the words from the book, which looked like it would turn to dust at any moment. They read: Black eye, open yourself

A world in horrorBy those who unite the curse

Lia was sucked through a tunnel made of water and came into a small wood in a clearing with a large eye made of black opals. Beside her she heard Michael get up. "Where are we?" He asked, rubbing his temples, which ached. "I have not the slightest idea.", Lia replied in an exasperated tone. Michael suddenly stared at her with big brown eyes. "Why are you looking like that?" Lia asked angrily. "D ... d ... your eyes ... they are bright green ..." he stuttered, puzzled. "Are you kidding me ?!" she hissed and her eyes flashed dangerously. "No !!!", Michael yelled at her who had lost his self-control. Lia, who remembers that she always carried a pocket mirror with her, pulled it out of her pocket. She studied her face, which stared back from flashing, acid green. "What is that supposed to mean ??", she asked Michael, shocked and suddenly her eyes turned gray."I think I know what your eyes are all about." Michael explained in a matter-of-fact tone. "The color of your eyes changes depending on how you feel. Now that you are scared, they are gray and just when you were mad at me they were bright green." "Interesting.", Lia said thoughtfully and immediately her eyes turned sky blue . "Now to something else: Where the hell are we here?" "No idea, Michael ... Come on, let's find the nearest town ...", Lia said, still a little unsettled. They ran all day. In the evening they came out to a small village on the edge of the forest. "Please, where did we end up ???" asked Michael, who was the first of the two to find his language again. The little houses were made of wood and smoke billowed from the chimneys. When they entered the village square with the fountain, they could see the small signs. In this village there were: a Schulzen (whatever it was), a temple, a blacksmith, a tavern, and a grocer.There were a few courtyards around the houses. "Come on. We'll go to the tavern first. Maybe we can find out more there." Michael nodded in agreement. They entered the tavern and were immediately eyed suspiciously by a large number of farmers and the villagers. Lia went to the host without hesitation and said: "Greetings, good man. My name is Lia-Lin-Lit-Din Kamui and this is my friend Michael Cannes. Where are we here ???" "You are in Kraiben village in Bornland. Do you want a room and something to drink? "Asked the landlord. He had a deep and throaty voice. "We would be very happy if we got a room. What would that cost?" Lia asked. "For two people, I assume. That makes three pieces of silver." "Please what ???", Lia asked confused and you could see in her eyes that she had no idea what the man was talking about. "Silver pieces.", Answered the landlord friendly.“But I don't have any silver pieces.” “Then you would have to offer yourself to one of the farmers as a worker. That way you could earn money and then equip yourself to move on, because I don't suppose that you want to stay here, do you? "

With the landlord's advice in mind, Lia and Michael offered to work for the farmers and soon got their job. The farmer Onar took them as laborers and the landlord allowed them one night for free and some free food. The next few days Lia and Michael experienced were tough, because they had to work hard to pay for the accommodation in the tavern and they also needed ponies or horses to make their way through Aventurias (the world they were in now) accelerate. A week passed in which Lia and Michael worked hard to achieve their goal. One evening the two were sitting in their little room in the tavern. "We've already earned two hundred ducats, Michael.That should be enough for what we need. I suggest we go to Uvenmas in three days. Tomorrow we will buy the necessary things and the next day we will pack up. "Said Lia." But ... I thought we wanted to go back home ... "Michael said confused. In all the excitement, Lia had forgotten to tell Michael why they were actually here. She explained them quickly and objectively Situation and Michael listened patiently. When she finished he looked around lost in thought. "What do you think I should have done? Should I have taken Melissa with me and asked big questions beforehand whether she would like to come with me? It was in a hurry and we don't have much time left. Maybe Mama and Sayori are long dead. "Lia said angrily." I already understand what you mean, but if you hadn't been able to explain that a little earlier ... "Suddenly, Lia heard a lot that Michael joined him on Friday lunchtime for no reason snowed past her."What did you want from me when you came on Friday lunchtime?" Lia asked confused. "I ... Ääähhh ..... wanted ... I wanted to ask you if we want to learn maths during the Easter holidays ...", Michael said, blushing as red as a tomato. Lia sensed that he was lying, but she didn't go into the matter further. "Do you want to help me to save my mother and Sayori now?", She asked Michael when he had turned his skin color back to normal. "Well, I don't think we'll find a way to go home anytime soon. So I'll go with you." Lia noticed how good he actually looked. They did everything as planned and went to the grocer the next morning to buy a tent and food. Then they went to Olessa, the blacksmith, and picked up the swords that they had ordered the day before. Finally Lia and Michael went to one of the farmers to buy three horses.A dun mare, a dark brown stallion and the foal belonging to the mare. They called her Melody, Jumper, and Missina. Soon they had familiarized themselves with the animals and were riding them around the village square. The next morning they went briefly to the shopkeeper to buy a map and a compass for their long journey through Aventuria. They also bought some blankets and ropes, cutlery and some other basic items that they had forgotten. Then around ten in the morning they left. It seemed to Lia as if she were in a golden dream. They stopped at two o'clock. Lia went to the horses and rubbed them because they were drenched in sweat. Meanwhile Michael was busy lighting the fire. "How should I tell Lia? I have to go back home ..." Shortly after the fire was burning and Michael had started to cook, Lia came back from the animals. Suddenly Michael noticed that she had pink eyes."Lia ..... you ..... you have pink eyes .....", he stammered. "What?" Asked and immediately took her mirror out of her pocket. Lia thought hard. What had she thought of before? To Michael. What could that mean? "I have an idea. Let's make a list of all the colors we can think of and then classify feelings for each color," suggested Michael. "That's a great idea, Michael!" Lia exclaimed happily and fell around Michael's neck. During the meal they worked out all the colors to match Lia's feelings. After dinner, they put up the tent they shared because they thought it was stupid to do such a third just because they were traveling together now. The next morning, as she was up very early, Lia went to the stream by which the tent was and looked at her reflection. "Actually, I was wrong about Michael.", She said to Melody, who she leaned against because she had come when she saw Lia. "He's really nice.", She said and looked into the water.Suddenly she noticed that her eyes were pink again. Lia hurried to her bag and checked the list there to see what she was feeling. With the color pink, it was clear and clear: in love or loving.

Suddenly a question came up that she had asked herself some time ago. But then she was dragged out of her thoughts when Michael stepped out of the tent. "Good morning," she said cheerfully. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her. "Yes, thank you" "How long is it until Uvenmas?" "At breakfast we can investigate. Can you help me cook?" "Yes, come on." After they had prepared breakfast they ate and Lia carefully studied the menu with the compass in hand. "We are already a quarter of the way behind us. We should arrive in Uvenmas in about two or three days, but before that I actually wanted to go to the forest to hunt because we don't have too much meat left," said Lia. "That's good," says Michael with a
