It's a cold and windy autumn night, and a flickering candle light appeared in one of the windows of the largest villa in a lonely, grim looking and ancient estate which had always beign standing in the surbuds of the popular Guttric city , the estate had so many horror filled stories attached to it and its owner Ezra de La rue, a man who appeared out of nowhere with his father who had no name or had never told anyone his name.
Ezra was a very young boy when he appeared in Guttric town years ago with his father, they appeared with tattered rags on their dirty bodies but they both had a unique elegance and a dominating aura in their cold emerald eyes and their unbending posture, they started as petty labourers working on people's farm to survive but they never lasted for months on any of the farms because it was reported that they were always distracting female labourers with their charming faces, without even trying they made men of the town hate them, and they gained so many female admirers, some women even went as far as bringing their female children to Ezra's father for bethrotal between little Ezra and their daughters but they always got turned down and it became a kind of competion in the town, not long, Ezra's father also became a farm owner and trader and he miraculously became so wealthy that the other farmers and traders didnt dare compete with him and infact started respecting him, within two years he got himself an estate and built several villas for just he and his son, he wouldn't even allow rent, this kicked the people's suspicious and jealous instincts, they reported him to the king while accusing him of involving in fraud and patnering with the devil to make his wealth and he was arrested, he was asked to give up his estate to redeem his freedom but he firmly rejected it, he even chose death rather than giving up the estate, after so many trials, tutures and tricks to make the man give up the villa, it was cleared that the man's source of wealth was very clean and had no traces of fraud or involvement of the devil, the town folk's who were already seeing a bright future if they were to obtain the estate went home in dissapointment and Ezra's father was granted freedom but he was already on the brink of death, he stayed indoors with his son for months and soon regained his vitalitity, his wounds dissapeared like they were never there and his body was as clear as paper, he went back to the store and farm running it like he used to, but a popular claim soon began among the folks, they claimed his gaze looked very strange and suffocating eventhough he always had smiles on his face but even with the claims those who patronized him didn't stop patronizing him, he completed the estate, filled it with several valuable artifacts and waited paitiently till Ezra entered adolescense then he handed all his properties to him, the morning after, he was found dead in his store with the same tuture wounds he got from the palace, looking all fresh like he never healed and everything that happened during the past years were a facade, Ezra on the other hand had no reaction on seeing his father's corpse, he had always been a cold and unfriendly child, always staying alone without any company and without any emotions on his face, he hardly ever spoke but those few times his voice was heard, he spoke with intelligence and utter indiffrence like everyone around him was stupid. He picked his father's corpse and buried him in one of the villas in the estate, then he continued to run the business like nothing ever happened, as he grew he earned the name Ezra de La rue (Ezra of the street) but as soon as he aged fifteen he stopped attending to the business, he sold the farm and the store and silently retired to estate, then another strange occurrence began, two or three folks would dissappear on the fifteen of every month and their bodies would be found in front of the estate on the seventeen with the several tuture wounds on thier bodies, wounds like that of Ezra's father, it continued like that for months and even when Ezra was arrested and locked up for two months the occurrence didn't stop, it was cleared that he had no involvement with the deaths and he was released, five months after his release the killings stopped and never happened again, it was a great relief to the people not until the constant cries of a man in pain began to hunt the people's sleep and it clearly came from the estate, many requested Ezra be banished from the town and the estate be burned and those who did didn't live for two days more, all dieing of mysterios deaths, the people immediately halted their request and silently bared the hunting cries because they couldn't even leave the town those who tried to found themselves back in the town after a day, after two years, Ezra attaining the age of eighteen, all the horrorfull happenings finally siezed and peace reigned in the town, the years passed and civilization walked into the town, the estate remained in its usual spot without any attempts of change, looking lonely, spooky, ancient and having hunting aura, people didnt dare build their houses close to it, they didnt dare walk close to it, they only carried the stories of the ocurrence they have heard or seen, Ezra hasn't been sighted since then but flickering candle lights usually appeard in one of the windows of the largest villa in the estate at night, years have passed and Ezra should have been dead but people didn't want to know, they didn't even pray to meet him.h
