"How much are the fruits I bought altogether,"
Maddie asked.
"They are just $35 "The fruit seller replied,"
Maddie paid the bill and packed the fruits she bought and the fruit seller asked
"How is the baby in your stomach, I hope the baby is doing just fine,"
"Yes, thank you for your care,"
"It is very late at night, you are not supposed to be moving around this late at night as a pregnant woman,"
"Don't worry I will be very safe,"
The fruit seller started whispering to her discreetly
There are rumors about people getting missing around this area in the night so be very careful.
Ok I will be safe I promised "Maddie answered with faith
"I'm very serious and not just only missing,"
The fruit seller leaned forward and looked around and whispered as quiet as possible
"Yesterday a mother and a child was missing and this morning we heard rumors that someone saw a two people dead in the midnight and since then we have not yet seen the person that said they saw the dead body,"
"Stop scaring me," Maddie said with fear
"But don't worry, you will be alright."
"Goodnight" Maddie greeted and walked out of the shop and started walking as fast as she could, few minutes later she was already in the area close to her house and she looked around as saw that there was nobody around and she was getting scared, she started walking more faster than ever.
As she was walking she heard footsteps at her back and she turned and saw no one, a strange man In a dark apparelled robe started following her, as she was moving fast the strange man was also moving faster,
And the man appeared in her front and with a dark voice said.
"MADDIE!!!"
"The fruits Maddie bought drooped to the ground and she began to call for help as the strange man was coming closer to her."
"They can't hear you, and if they do they can't help you"
The strange man said, Maddie began to beg for her life"
"Please save my life, I don't have money with me,"
"I don't want your money all I want is for that child not to live,"
He said as he pointed at her stomach, Maddie was shocked by what he said, as he wanted to move closer to Maddie a man and a woman came and grabbed her by the hand to save her from his grasp, she quickly ran and stood behind the people that came to save her.
Then the strange man smirked and heavy wings came out of his back tearing his clothes at the back, Maddie became very fretful and began to shake as she has never seen anything like this before, the man and the woman that came to her rescue grinned and their eyes began to glow and they had a different look than a normal human Maddie screamed and tried to run away but the woman said.
"Don't be scared we are here to save you,"
Maddie trusted her blindly, The man that came to save her and the strange man started conversing"
"Stay away from her,"
The strange man laughed and said "Lucas where have you been hiding all this time,"
"I am not hiding, I have been preparing,"
"Preparing for what, you know you are no match for the dark lord,"
"I know that I am no match but the baby In her womb is and that is why you want to kill him because you and the dark lord are scared that he is going to kill you all,"
The strange man face squashed with anger and his wings began to bring fire and he positioned himself ready to fight, and Lucas also spread his wings and ran to the strange man and they began to fight with each other. The strange man flapped his big wings with fire spreading across to Lucas, and Lucas used his wings to defend himself.
Maddie has nearly fainted where she was and the woman told her "follow me,"
Maddie followed her immediately as she had no choice and the woman stretched her hands to Maddie asking to hold her hands and Maddie held her hands and the woman told her "hold me tight".
The woman began to fly carrying Maddie along, she flew far from the scene till she got to Maddie's house and landed, then Maddie asked.
"How did you know my house,"
"It is not only your enemies that have been keeping an eye on you," she replied.
"My Enemies?"
Maddie was still confused by her words as she dipped her hands into her pocket and removed keys to unlock the door and the both of them entered and closed the door.
At the fighting scene, Lucas and the strange man started using their magical power to fight against each other, the strange man magical power was fire while Lucas power was thunder.
As the strange man threw fireballs at Lucas, he dodged it and ran fast and gather as much thunder in his hands and strike it at him, the strange man tried to dodge it but it hit him right in his chest and he fell and that was when Lucas saw it as an opportunity to take him down , Lucas flew up and gathered thunder in his hand and strike it at him, the strange man was wounded badly and did not have strength to fight back, he flapped his wings and flew away from Lucas, Lucas wanted to follow him but he loose track of where the strange man went flew away.
Lucas wanted to follow but lost track of him and he started flying in the same direction the other woman with wings flew to.
The fruit seller was watching and wanted to run to tell people about it but fell on the floor and fainted.
In a very dark room where many people are gathered wearing black robes and masks and a throne at the center of the room and the face of the person sitting on the throne is not seen, a loud sound of flapping wings is being heard and the strange man who attacked Maddie entered the room severely injured and he shouted.
" Forgive me dark lord for I did not fulfill the task which was given to me,"
The whole room was at chaos as everybody were shouting and exclaiming and then a very thick voice coming from the throne commanded.
"SILENCE!!!"
And the whole room became silent at once
"Why couldn't you fulfill this great task that was given to you, you better give me a good reason or I will have your head cut off and feed it to my pets,"
"My lord there was an interruption of this great task by the remaining guardians,"
"Which remaining guardians didn't we kill them all ?"
"My Lord I think they went to hiding from us."
"And they dare try to prevent me from stopping the great prophecy, who are the guardians you saw in particular?"
"Guardian Lucas and Guardian Ariel."
The whole room bursted into chaos again and the voice coming from the throne became louder.
"I SAID SILENCE!!!"
Everywhere became silent back,
"Gather the armies and kill them all and make sure you kill the child,"
"Yes my lord,"
"No mistake this time around or else you will pay with your life greatly,"
"Yes dark lord, long live the dark lord,"
And the whole room shouted.
"LONG LIVE THE DARK LORD!!!!"
