A girl was running. Running with her braids whipping behind her like, well, a whip. Running through the dense forest. Running through to that light. That light that was near but so far away. Behind her, a ferocious beast kept running. Running to catch up to her and consume her soul. The beast pounced on her and then scratched her body. Then, sucked the air. A white spirit rose up and entered his body. Another soul. Soon all will be over and the Soul Taker will have his family back. The Soul Taker used to be a bright and happy man. A man that did everything for his wife, his children, and his family. That all ended one day.
One day the Black Plague invited himself into the man's family. The Black Plague regarded the man. Then, he sent the man to Death himself to ask whether it was his time. Death then realized that this was the man who tricked him many years ago. The man who threw acid into the little old witch's eyes making her go blind. He ran away from the witch. Her being blind she could not find him and so he escaped with his life. Angered he almost killed him, but then he got an idea. The man need not die a quick and peaceful death, that is what a true hero deserves. He must live a suffered, tortured life, and in turn die slowly and painfully as well. Death took his family hostage, and never released them.
The man hated Death and lived his miserable life. But then as he was about to chop a huge tree, for a small fire, a small voice interjected, "Please do not cut this tree. I will tell you how to get your family back from Death." The man asked, "Show yourself! Who are you?" A fairy came out from beneath the branches. She was a tiny little thing with dark green wings and green pixie cut hair. "I am a forest fairy. This forest is my home! If you cut down this tree than all the other fairies will sense it and start fighting! That may destroy the forest. If you don't cut down this tree, I'll tell you how to get your family back!"
The man hastily agreed and the fairy said, "All Death wants are souls to keep him going. But too many souls and he needs to release some." Then, the fairy left and the man sat there pondering her words under the tree. The fairy then came out again and gave him a necklace with a ruby pendant on it. The ruby was round-cut and glistened in the sunlight. "Keep this," she said. "I made it during the death era. I had to somehow protect some souls from Death. It contains the power of metamorphosis and the sucking of pure souls. Don't lose it or break it! If you do, you lose your power as well as your family!" The man took the necklace and put it around his neck.
"I almost forgot to tell you something!" the fairy shouted. "I made this necklace, that is true. However, anything as powerful as that has to have a weakness. Its weakness happens to be the Trinh generation. The Trinh's are the purest of pure souls. If you catch a child of their family's soul, then you can consider your family alive again. But the Trinh family also has a power that is unknown to even me. If the child possesses that power and uses it, the child may destroy you." The man nodded and then his features began to change. His hands turned to claws his feet into a monster's. His clothes ripped and he began to grow. His body started to grow fur and his eyes, the once emerald green twinkling eyes, became sparking red eyes filled to the brim with anger. Thus, the Soul Taker was born.
However, what the Soul Taker did not know was that the Spirit of Light witnessed all this behavior. She could not stop him as there was no light or happiness left in his body, however, she could create a prophecy. As green smoke rose from her mouth and light turned to dark she said, "Oh Soul Taker you may be immortal until you consume all the souls you need but someone will stop you! A girl whose father and sister will be one of your victims. A girl with beautiful emerald green eyes as yours once was and a Trinh generation boy with eyes as black as cobalt. Combined they create a power much powerful and greater than yours. When this happens your soul will join your family's. As soon as the girl and boy's power is combined, you will be defeated. This is the Prophecy of Light!" With that ended the dark thunderstorms and darkness that had started when she began reciting the new prophecy. With that began the Soul Taker's rule.
