..... Long ago after the creation of man, the elements were assigned to judge the earth. They were the sisterhood that brought balance to the earth. They couldn't be seen by men because those who saw them would be damned, they were holy beings . Men judged this to be foolishness. Things began to change when people would want one and not the other, they would offer sacrifices to one and not all, train their children to love one and not all..., this caused a shift between the sisterhood. Fire, water, air and earth forged by the creator to stand by each other fell apart, hunting themselves wanting to consume each other to prove who indeed, held more power. This affected the world at a serious cost. The soil was corrupted by earth, the water contaminated, the fire burning houses, forest and bringing down villages, while air siezed the breaths of so many lives. Men began to turn their backs on them even when they had no means of stopping them. One little girl, clean and pure of heart, was heartbroken to see the world slowly end and torn to pieces cried out to the gods. Tired of the pain, she called on the gods so many times and on one faithful day, they revealed themselves to her and promised they would end the havoc but she would have to give her life, because it was at a great cost they revealed themselves to her. Not thinking twice she asked them to unite the sisterhood again. The girl ascended with the gods and our forefathers witnessed this ascension then, the voice of the gods spoke loud. THE MISSING PIECE WILL BIND, IN DARKNESS OR LIGHT THE ELEMENTS SHALL RISE UP AGAIN REINCARNATED IN MORTALITY AND SHALL END THE GREAT BATTLE. After the judges of the earth was believed to be destroyed and not united, demons lurked the earth, the battle between mortality and the supernatural then began and went on for years and was soon buried in the sands of time as it was also believed that the spirit of Mania, the girl who gave her life, trapped the demons in the forest which was now known to be Oreb to bring back balance to the earth because the forest was where she prayed and encountered the gods. Her spirit seals them in. People believe she has taken her place as one of the gods."
Morbius paused and looked over to Renoe, and for the first time moved from where he was, he walked passed Renoe and stood close to the king this time "Few of our people saw visions of this prophecy claiming that the gods was speaking to them and showing them images of what was coming. They would paint them on their walls and try to make sense of them, So sire I believe she is connected somehow to this prophecy, there could even be others like her in the forest, it will be proof of the resurrection"
" You speak madness, Morbius. those stories were just myth" king Gabriel persisted.
" sire, has good land and favourable weather cloud your judgement?, you have adjusted into time and you feel so comfortable and ignore the truth that we can now see today, My Lord there are darker days ahead".

Antana dressed Winter's wound, "the audacity these mortals posses will be their end". she used the herbs she got from trees that grew in the forest. Antana raised Winter as her daughter after her real mom passed away and never once hid it from Winter. Winter grew to love her as her Mother. Even though there were twist and turns, Antana still loved Winter as well. As far as she was concerned, Winter was her daughter. She was a shape shifter and could transform into anything big or small and also could disguise herself like a mortal being. Her appearance didn't scare Winter at all but, Antana maintained the appearance of a mortal to make Winter more comfortable. " are you sure you want to do this winter".
Winter had assembled all the demons of the forest to the cave, they waited for their princess to come out. She wanted to take the fight to Arish, she wouldn't spare any man, woman or child since the people sought their extinction. " I am mother". Winter possessed powers never seen in the history of mankind, no mortal was permitted to hold such powers. There were wizard and witches who got them through dark ways and could only access them with dark languages. She was different and Antana knew it from the first time she held Winter as a baby. Winter got up when her mother was done and stood at the entrance the cave.
" They invade Oreb and wage war on our land, they seek our extinction but their days of reckoning is here and we will take the fight to them and kill everyone last of them. we will treat them by the ways of Oreb" Winter held her hands out " NO MERCY". Poa came behind her from inside the cave, he was huge and no longer cute. He roared and the others followed suit.

Morbius was up in one of the towers he stared into the skies and whispered silently to himself " prophecies never lie". He knew this and one way or another he would play a part in it. One way he will finish his father's work so he has to see for himself first who this strange being was.
