A Letter addressed to queen Hada IV the ruler of Atriabnna and all who inhabit it, from man to the high Elves and to the Fairies, and chancellor of the Royal city Canta-
“The Earth, the skies, and the kingdoms I don’t care for them, what is the use of such things to me, my heart right now does what it wants and what I want right now is to protect those dearest to me, you can keep the kingdoms”- ???????
The two men
dressed in red cloaks strolled through what use to be a village but was now
reduced to an endless fireball blaze entrapped in black smog, from afar it
resembled the aftermath of a gruesome war. “Sheesh, it’s pretty hot around here
don’t you think” said one of the men as he smirked and nudged his counterpart
“is this really the time for that” responded the other man who intently scanned
around the incinerated area, “well it looks like there’s no sign of survivors
human or non-human, but wow this is incredible to think Eros could close the
gate and only occur this amount of damage” the other man suddenly looked at his
partner in disbelief, “you call all this a petty amount? You’re sick outlook on
things never fails to scare me Lance……Wait did you hear that” he said, as the
two men held their tongues in silence they could hear feint sounds of cries coming
from one of the houses that was reduced to rubble, the two men slowly
approached the smoking rubble and the sound grew louder. “Lance your up “ the
man said , the man he was referring to as lance lifted his two hands and spoke”
gravitas
urna” a gust of air suddenly came
forth from the man’s palms and ripped into the rubble sending the rocks
scattering aside, the man quickly rushed into the rubble, “Tobi….Tobi what’s in
there…” Lance asked nervously. lance approached the hole that his partner
ventured into and as he looked down inside he saw his partner carrying a baby
in his arms, the toddler clutched on to the clothes of Tobi, blood was drenched
all over the toddlers naked body but the baby didn’t cry, his blue eyes just
gazed in wonder at the men around him, “Tobi look….his...his-arm,” I know lance,
I know……it looks like the arm of a demon spoke Tobi, as the two men gazed at
one another in shock. The two men stood dumbfounded as they stared at the
toddlers cursed arm, the arm had a disfigured appearance and bore a reddish
dark colour to it like glaciered blood. Meanwhile the inferno surrounding them
begun to slowly close in, “Tobi it’s time we left this place we’ve already
found the Key so let’s head back to the City” but Tobi didn’t move a muscle he
simply stood like a statue and gazed at the infant. “TOBI! Wake up” Lance screamed which woke Tobi up
from his Trance “yeah your right let’s move out” he replied, the two hooded men
scurried out of the burning village and stood upon the hill afar and watched as
the flames engulfed the village leaving no shred of existence remaining. The
two men strolled into the night on horseback with the child in their company,
they rode for about 4 hours before coming across a certain farm. “Phew, we
finally made it Lance “Tobi Said in relief, the two men then rode down from
atop the hillsides path to the farm grounds. “ Tobi are you sure this is the
place “asked Lance with concern, “err yup this is the place, the farm west from
the wasteland is what I was told and this is it….. I think”. The two of them
looked for the entrance but could only find wooden barn doors and open stables,
“wait, what’s that little building over there” said Lance who spotted a nearby
cottage, the two of them then went to investigate. When they finally stood
outside the small cottage they noticed a red rusty old looking tractor parked
out the front, “seriously someone actually lives here” Lance exclaimed, “Ha-ha
that sort of reaction is something I’d expect from someone whose use to the
lavishness of living in royalty their whole life” Tobi replied, “well whatever
you call me It doesn’t change the fact this place looks dreadful I mean look at
that vehicle the doors are barely staying on and most of the back is missing”
whilst Lance continued to prod at the presentation of the cottage the lights
from the inside suddenly came on , “ oh shoot now you’ve done it you see what happens when you start yapping on
“ Tobi quickly jumped off his stead , he ripped a piece of his cloak apart and
wrapped the naked infant in it, he then placed the boy at the front of the door
and quickly mounted his horse. The red cottage door slowly creaked open and an old
man in his night gown and hat came shooting out the door holding a hunting
rifle, “WHO GOES THERE” he shouted “BEST MAKE YOURSELVES KNOWN IM ARMED” he
added, then shooting right behind him was a small old lady fidgeting with her
glasses, “oh keep it down will ya, your gunna wake up all the neighbors” she said
to the man “NEIGHBOURSSS? What in heavens are you on about women, look around
ya there’s not a single house within miles of here, talking to me about
neighbors, madness must not be too far away by the looks of it ….talking about
madness, by the way when’s it your birthday again” as the old man continued his
loud the old lady peered outside and spotted the little infant sitting on the
floor. “Oh heavens Johnathan look at that…. It’s a little baby boy” she quickly
approached the boy and held him up into the air, “look at his eyes he’s such a
pretty thing isn’t he” she said “WAIT WHAT... what do you think you’re doing
women that child might be a trap, thee ole cattle rustlers might be tryna lure
as in …. Quickly chuck him into the bushes” the old man yelped, “Are you out of
your senile mind …..Cattle rustlers? And I’m the crazy one am I, but look there
doesn’t seem to be any sign from anyone, I think he was purposely left here
john”. The old man lowered his rifle and proceeded back into his home, “oh
heavens do what you gotta do women I’m off to bed” he said, he then walked off scratching
his backside. The old lady continued to stare at the blue eyed child who gazed
back into her eyes , “ the gods have answered my prayers and favored me in my
later years” she said to the boy “ and I’m guessing you don’t have a name do
ya…..mmmm that’s alright though , starting from today your name shall be ...”
the old lady paused for a few moments and gazed above into the moonlight sky,
she saw a shooting star shining across the sky and said “Jyro, Jyro Thomas”.
The red cottage door closed and little Jyro was carried inside, meanwhile the
two men riding their horses stood from afar and watched on,“ do you think he’ll
be ok Tobi… I mean he has that arm and”, “shhh try not to worry so much Lance
these people were chosen for a reason so I’m sure he’ll be fine, anyhow will be
seeing him soon I hope…. I mean 10 years isn’t a long time is it now”, the two
men then left the farm and rode away into the darkened valley.
