Her mother didn't want to talk about it, but still had to because how else do you warn your child not to get close to the ruin on the hill. But Aeryna still couldn't understand the warnings of her mother. At night, she could hear the voices of her half-siblings and her stepfather inside her bedroom. Calling out for her, begging her to come and safe her. But when she tells this to her mother she dismisses it.   Aeryna's father was a Sater traveler that heard about the story of the village, and wanted to see what it was all about. He and her mother spend one night together and he left the next day, not to be seen again. So Aeryna never met him.   On the night of her fourteenth birthday she heard the calls again. Something according to her mother shouldn't be possible. They live the furthest away from the ruin, but still she could hear them. Calling her name, promising her that they will accept her even with her Sater ears. It was no secret that she was bullied by the other children inside the village, or laughed at by some of the adults. The only two that accepted her were her mother and her best friend Ivy. She stood up from her bed and walked over to her window. The ruin was light by the moonlight, it was a shadow of the building it once was, an echo of the past. Again there were the voices, begging her to come to them, promising her love acceptance. And some other things. Aeryna left her room, her house and wondered the streets to the ruin on the hill. Throwing her mother's, no, each of the adults warnings into the wind.   She stood at the foot of the hill, but nobody was there. She called out the names of her half-siblings, her stepfather. But there was nobody who answered. In fact for the first time in her life it was quiet, deadly quiet. Still she stepped forward, and after that everything happened so fast. She was grabbed by something, something strong. She screamed, her mother voice calling her name, echoed moments later in her ears. She was laying on the grass, back at the foot of the hill. Her mother and some other figures were standing on the other side. Smiling at her, their eyes completely black. That was when she knew that her mother was gone, and she was the one responsible for her fate. All the other villagers started to gather around her, women started to attend to her deep wound. Which would leave a scare on her face and back, a mark of her carelessness and her mother's death.

Hi Nathalia! Thank you for sharing your article with me. I'm very curious about the Satar, I am intrigued about what they're about and what they can do. I like how you introduce Aeryna's heritage quickly by mentioning her ears. You might wish to remove 'very' between physically and healthy. There's a lot of mystery in this article about this character, nice work!
