ezrael

-never fear your darkness...

He was running through the woods holding the last victim of their attack in his arms he remembered how hard it was to sleep he knew how to fight very well she was so heavy he hated her because he couldn't bear to start yelling and spoil the plans that had to be done as much as possible . it was done quietly. One of the most important victims they had to kill in all these years of hunting.

 Something was heard among the trees that caused him to lose his train of thought and snap back to reality. The members of the guard had found him and were chasing him, what pitiful people without her they were nothing, without her they all perished like a village of ants. He had to reach a precipitous place that had surrounded him from all sides, he had to escape from them and reach the hideout as quickly as possible. Bows and fire began to fall from everywhere he had to take cover, but he also had a man with him who made it difficult for him to run, he managed with difficulty to cast a spell which was well-aimed and the guard fell dead. They were scared for a while but the hunt didn't stop, they just kept a few meters distance for safety. With one more spell he created a thick mist, he knew it didn't last long but it was enough to get him lost.

He reached a waterfall from there and beyond it would all be easy if he had been lost on the way... he went through the passage to the waterfall and reached the hiding place where the others were waiting. It was the leader who met him when he entered: "you finally came Don, I thought you lost your way back..." he said in a deep and eerie voice, Don said trembling: "sir..uh..uh they attacked me on the way . ....I had to make sure...that they didn't take me from behind...." she said fearfully, she was expecting a tantrum or something but she didn't do anything. Instead, the leader motioned to put the body down and wake it up.

"help...traitors of the clan...leave me alone..." the girl started to shout as soon as she came to her senses struggling to escape from her bonds, he covered her mouth so that she wouldn't hear her voices.

"Overseer of the council of light you should have been less reactive and more mature." the chief told her sardonically

"besides, we're not strangers, I just want one thing..." he said with eyes shining with malice

"You will never take my powers, you understand...?" the woman said sharply breaking the spell.

 But he didn't give up, the woman was exhausted from the battle, she didn't even have the strength to fight, and just trying to get up tired her and she fainted, she was seriously injured and he took advantage of that, he raised his hand and straight through the woman he started to come out . a purple light, it was the magical powers leaving her. Within a split second she fell to the floor dead white as paper.

 At the sight of this scene many hell guards shuddered but when they stood in the darkness they swore to be cruel, heartless and kill without mercy. As soon as the strongest woman in the council fell dead they all gathered around her like crows to eat what was left of her, to drink the memories from her blood.....

 They were the most pitiable creatures in the realm, they gave eternal allegiance to the king of darkness. Strange creatures indeed with the legs of a wild goat and the body of an eagle. They were ominous creatures no one knew what they were called or where they came from because they always lived in the darkest parts of Camli. They didn't have any magical ability they just drank the blood of witches to feed themselves. Their leader Thyrsos was the only one to whom they had submitted, brother of the leader of the council who wanted to usurp the throne. they succeeded but proved invulnerable. After the death of their leader the people of Kamli lost all traces of morale, they submitted to the new regime with no other choice.

 But there is something that no one knew... in the dark parts of the palace lived the royal magician who had seen something that no one knew! After the disaster, a prophecy came out which said: "On the 2nd of August with a full moon, she will be born who will bring light to the kingdom of the cursed one, she will be born from those who fought him 5 times and with the powerful curse that will destroy all evil. ." Of course they have passed and no one has appeared yet. But Carla the leader had a daughter that no one saw, as soon as Camli fell her father caught her and left for the land.

 The last of the council managed what forces were left to imprison him in a cave in Camli, they hunted down several of his followers but it was only a matter of time before he returned...

 Ezrael woke up sweating in the middle of the night terrified by what she saw in her sleep. They seemed so real to her, she started looking around to make sure she was alone in the room. She convinced herself it was all a bad nightmare and fell back to sleep.

 Peter has been living without magic for 15 years, he decided to put it aside after the death of his wife and devote himself completely

to his daughter who was now attending high school. She looked so much like her, she had her blue eyes, every time he looked at her he felt like he still had her by his side. He was lost in his thoughts and didn't notice her when she entered the kitchen until she spoke to him.

"Good morning dad!" Ezrael said kissing him on the cheek, as soon as she entered the kitchen she smelled the tickling smell of pancakes.

"Good morning my beauty I made pancakes today, first day of school custom remember?" he told her as he took another delicious pancake out of the pan.

"You are the best dad..!" she said as she ate a hearty helping of pancake with plenty of caramel. She was used to her dad making sweets, he was a chef and was constantly experimenting.

 Today he woke up with a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen and kept looking out the window. During the afternoon he was cleaning the living room, there was a knock on the door, when he opened it, he saw no one, only a blue envelope, it was from Camli. As soon as he saw the file he was worried he didn't say anything to his daughter all these years, he wanted to keep away from all this and safe in ignorance. She opened it to see what was written, she was being invited to the school there on a scholarship:

Dear Israel,

It is with great pride that we invite you to study at our school here in Kamli. A school where children from royal families come to be taught in order to become great rulers in the future!! Students who report to the school on September 20th will be sent by the school to help you with your luggage.

with respect,

Director Nausicaa Chord

PS all relevant uniforms, books etc. you will find them in your rooms when you come to the school.

 Before he gave her the letter he had to explain to her what happened 15 years ago and the truth about her mother's death.... was he afraid that Ezrael would get so angry that she would drive him away from her? Or even worse if he went to Camli forever? But it was her destiny to fight and succeed where they failed. Already 16 years old how would she make it out alive?

"Israel come down please we need to talk..." her father called from the base of the stairs.

 Ezrael was in her room reading it might have been the first day but this new teacher made them repeat all the history material from last year; as soon as she heard her dad she came downstairs because she was worried, usually if she wanted to say something she would go to the room her. He went down to the kitchen to find Peter sitting at the table with his head in his hands and a blue envelope in front of him.

"Please sit down, I have to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago and please don't interrupt me..." her father said slowly and seriously.

 She obeyed without further questions and sat quite flustered, seeing her dad like this for the first time he told her everything from the beginning. It was hard for him to talk about all this, he put a lot of pressure on himself.
