Prologue Chapter 1 Chapter 2
The humming got louder; everything around seems to quiver with a hidden disturbance. The stranger had a fraction of second for the fear to register on his face before he exploded into thousands of bloody pieces; all splattered on the ground he was standing a second before.
Silence screamed.
Lei lay sprawled on the ground knocked by the force of explosion, drenched with blood and pieces of flesh; too shocked to move or speak. His mind was not yet ready to comprehend what just happened, his muscles not yet ready to obey. Then he heard it: footsteps, behind him, coming closer.
His every instinct was to run away. He urge his unyielding muscles to move, but they refuse to respond; deserting him in his hour of need. He forced his neck and slowly looked behind, wondering what form of horror approaches him; but he saw only a lady dressed all in brown and green, blending with the background of the clearing they were at. She passed where he was lying, and went over the ground splattered with blood and shredded flesh and seems to search for something among the mess. She seems satisfied with something and turned back to where he was.
She smiled to him as if this is the first time she noticed him. A spell seem to break, he can move now and tried to stand up. The lady was not very tall, he noticed, but enchantingly beautiful, and she wore a cloak that was between green and brown, and she seems to hide a tremendous power inside that cloak.
The lady seemed to beckon him without speaking, to follow her. His shaking leg moved forward on its own accord towards the path the lady pursued,deep into the wood.
