Chapter 2 - Prologue:

"The light will turn to darkness and blood will scatter and make a mess.

In one bloody night someone will show up and protect the light from darkness."

(the old man said and walk toward to elder's)

this is what the prophecy say's. In the past, a war happened and someone will show up and protect the light. But!

But?, who will show up?

I dont know! But last night i saw a new prophecy

"Another hellacious war will be brought

By the heart full of madness

A shadow that has an ought to bring back the lifeless

And by the taste of a single drop of blood

Someone's eyes will begin to flood

By the truth that was hidden

The sleeping mind will be awaken."

"we dont understand Grand elder

Would you like to explain it to us? "

"the war is not yet done, the journey of our leader will has begun let the prophecy make it happen and let our story begin. "

I woke up in a room where everything I saw was white... The place was unfamiliar, and I didn't know where I was... I had no idea what had happened to me — I couldn't remember anything. But one thing that Im sure, Im not normal...

'You're awake, finally!'

I turned to the one who spoke — an old man who looked like one cough away from disappearing. But... finally? Did I hear that right?

'Finally?

'Yes, you've been sleeping, 2 years to be exact!

My eyes widened, really 2 years?? What the heck exactly happened to me?

'What happen to you?'

I stared at him, my eyes tells all.. I want to know because I dont remember anything except the part the I lost my family.

'I found you from the river side, malapit sa bahay ko, and yes you're in my house. "You were unconscious when I found you, covered in blood and... barely clinging to life. I brought you here to my house to treat you, but it took two years before you finally woke up. I thought I wouldn't be able to save you from the brink of death, but just like I said... you woke up after two years."

'Thanks'

'But aside from that, I know nothing about where you came from or what your life was like before that happened to you'

As he said those words, memories filled my head — how my family died, how I almost died... thanks to this old man who saved me. Tears fell from my eyes — I never expected to wake up... alone.

'What do you remember?'

He ask, I look at him, eyes full of tears. I just kept crying that day. I didn't know how to start over. I knew nothing about this place, and there was no certainty if I could survive here. But on that same day, with his help, I began to live in a world where I wasn't sure if I was safe...

Then another lost, old man died beacuse of his age. Giving all of his belongings to me. He had no other family, and since he took me in and cared for me — and I had no family left — he left all his belongings to me. I didn't hide anything from him about what I remembered about myself... but that was all I knew. Im not normal unlike the people around me. I do look like one but, Im not normal like them. Just like I said, I couldn't remember anything — the only thing I remembered was how my family died and what kind of creature I am.

Lolo Brent was the one who helped me survive in a world where I was the only one different. Sometimes, I even thought he was like me because he knew so much about my kind. I didn't struggle to live a decent life. He also taught me how to fight — for self-defense, he said — but the way he trained me, it felt like he was preparing me for war.

I've learned a lot during the long time I spent with Lolo Brent. I'm currently studying at a prestigious school. Ever since I ended up under Lolo Brent's care, I've been studying here.

Right now, I'm in my apartment painting — I chose to stay here because I don't want to go back to the mansion. Although nothing really changed since I'm still alone, I just wanted a new environment. I still go home to the mansion sometimes — I have caretakers there who look after and maintain the place while I'm away.

I stared at my newly finished painting before deciding to clean up and go to sleep. I hung my finished work above my bed. (It looks like a book cover) I wondered... why did I paint this?

My hands just moved on their own, and this is what I ended up painting? Nice!

All is well!, I thought to my self before darkness eats the light in me.

Ps: Lolo means Grandpa

Yay!!! I hope you like it!!
