《Gifted Eyes》Chapter 1: Prologue
Advertisement
While the rain was blazing. A man walking in the lobby holding a gun; see as a dead man walking on the floor echoes in the area. And another man crawled in the corridor, bleeding and running for his life, using all of his strength to save his life. But failed, as the wounded man reached the bedroom, he crawled and leaned against the wall. He breathes heavily and looks at the ceiling while holding his left hand, pressuring the wounded area; however, he heard a noise coming from the corridor and quietly closed the door, when he saw the feet of his killer. He raised his head and looked at the gun with the silencer pointing at his head, then.
BANG!!!!!!
Blood spilled over the area where the man embraces his death; on the other side, an unknown man wore a black cap, black hood, black mask. He almost copied the ancient times 'Black Reaper' a sudden noise came into the room. As the man heard it, he checked his pockets, then picked up his phone, and the voice came out of the phone. He said, "So, how is it?" As the man moved his head and analyzed the corpse to make sure he was dead, and again he set his focus on the mirror, which meant he stared at the closet, that there were 'witnesses' or survivors left behind. The man replied, "Yes, it's done," a relief voice came out of the phone, then 'it' added, "Make sure that no one survives, including his wife and children, I don't want his legacy to resurface. You know what to do 'Black Reaper'. as the man stared at the mirror, he turned around and open the closet, then revealed the children of the 'victim' he stared at the crying children suddenly, he cocks up and aim at the closet-

BANG!
BANG!
As the smoke came out of the gun's barrel, he turned around and left the room. But the children in the closet are dead. As the man walks downstairs, glaring at the corpse beside him with guilt and regret, he weighs on his shoulders. He saw the photo of the family on the woman's belly; he picked it up and stared at the photo, then placed it in the plastic bag and left...
A few years passed as the incident spread across the country, not knowing what happened to their cruel demise. Now, the people are busy with their own individual lives; many commuters and cars were swarming the streets; however, the news was spreading across the city. Across the city, a portal opened in the forest where people had gathered to begin their expedition. When the people were about to enter the portal, a man was standing beside the portal; he wore casual clothes, blue spiky hair, white skin, blue on the right side, and red on the left side-eyes, and he carried a katana. After the preparation, a sudden voice shouted " OKAY GUYS LET'S MOVE OUT" then around 20 people along with the man who stands beside the portal entered the portal.
One by one, when people enter the grid and begin their work. However, it reveals the big cave standing between them and the portal behind them; suddenly, a strong chilly wind blows away, causing the occupants of the area to shiver in their spines except for the blue spiky man. They entered the cave; minutes later, as they walked to the caves, a man stared at the woman in front of him. A woman spun around and faced the man. She wore a pink t-shirt with a warm jacket, brown long hair, white skin, brown eyes, firm legs, and slender arms. A man blushed at the sight; suddenly a woman called him. "Hey John, how's it going there?" she asked by the time a man named John smiled and replied, " Yeah, I'm all right you?" After that, a woman started slowly and walked beside John; therefore, John was blushing the moment they walked together, after a few minutes of silence, John brought up the topic " Hey, Bea, why did you decide to join the Paladin's Guild?" as the woman named Bea lowered her head and replied " Well the reason I joined the Guild is that I want to help my parents in financial problems" a sudden atmosphere changed. A man entered the scene and placed his left hand on John's right shoulder; but John startled and said " Sir Thomas" A man named Thomas smiled, he asked, "So kid, how's the day?" John replied " going well, busying taking care of my little sister who entered the high school" Thomas amazed and asked " Wait your sister was alive I thou-" John cut off "remember I told you that," he said in a hurtful mocking tone. Thomas laughed and said, " yeah, and I heard that it's your parents' 30th Death Anniversary. " After he heard this, he had lowered his head. He replied, " Yes, me and my little sister will go to the cemetery and visit our parents there". As the two were talking, Bea watched John talk to Thomas as she smiled and looked at her sword.

An hour passed as they reached the giant that looked like a medieval gate; the group was staring and astonished at big the gate was. They were waiting as their leader and his subordinates were thinking about how to get to the other side; when the leaders were forming their plans, the members looked around and waited for their superiors' orders. Some decided that they rested on the walls, while others began speaking to each other simultaneously. On the other side of the band, John leaned against the wall and watched the void. Bea talked to John as they were waiting, so she entered a conversation. "Have you taken this seat". She asked childishly, then laughed, but John smiled and replied, "Yes, it was only for the woman." And she asked again, "Who's the woman you were expecting?". He laughed and responded, "You". This led Bea to smile and sit next to John, and hours went by as the group of people entered the door where they had pierced a hole. They did not know that they were heading for a trap; that a slaughterhouse was waiting for them; that it would slaughter them like animals. It was a sinister feeling. But there is one who will resist it.
Per the prophecy, there is a person who will inherit 'great power' and wield it. He or she will decide humanity's fate. Yet, this 'great power' will be the key to sealing the 'unknown' in front of him, if it's the difference between freedom or annihilation. Yet there are two choices to answer:
To Bring Peace?
Or
War?
