1 The Beginning

In a world where kings reign from castles and creatures of the dark prowl is where this story begins. On a farm with an old cottage, is where it all began.

Screaming. That was all that could be heard from this cottage. Inside there is a woman who is currently in labor, screaming as she gives birth. The Father, who is standing in the corner of the room, is as pale as snow. While the Doctor and his assistant is monitoring her.

"Here it comes!" The Doctor yelled over the blood curdling screams, as the child's head starts to come into sight. As the woman scream, she starts to push with all her might as the baby slowly comes out.

"It's a boy!" The Doctor exclaimed as he preformed a check up on the newborn. This Doctor slowly comes to realize the the room has fallen silent. The only noise he can hear is the Mothers heavy breathing and the Father rushing to his wife's side. The baby it completely silent, staring at the Doctor with a curious gleam in its eyes. This wasn't the first time the Doctor has delivered a quiet child, but this is the first child who has looked at him with this gaze.

"Doctor, is something wrong with my baby?" The mother asked with worry gripping her voice. The Father, who was silent until this moment, suddenly jerked up and looked at the Doctor.

"The child is fine. He isn't the first one to not cry." The Doctor stated as he handed the baby to his Mother. The Mother, exhausted form the difficult labor, slowly grabbed the boy from the doctors arms. When her eyes met the child's, she was instantly mesmerized by the child's beauty. She began to smile as tears of joy began to trail from her eyes as she knew from this day forward, she would love this child no matter what.

"What shall we call him, darling?" The Woman asked is a soft voice as she looked at the child. The Father looked at his new son, love filling his eyes.

"His name shall be, Kendrick." The Father replied, as he caressed the child's head. The child, as if learning he had a name, giggled with joy as he grabbed for his Father hand. This elated the couple as this was the first laugh they got to experience with their child.

The Doctor looked at the family and smiled, as he didn't care for the money he was paid, but for the look of joy and happiness on the couples face.

"Well Daniel, I'll take my leave so I can make it home for dinner." The Doctor spoke in a calm soft voice. While his assistant cleans the work area.

"Thank you, Doctor! Thank you for helping us!" Daniel, the father, thanked the Doctor as he looked up from his child. "I'll see you out." As he stood up and took the Doctor to the door.

As the mother watched her child, the child laughed and giggled as her hair tickled his face. As Kendrick played with his mother's hair, Daniel was talking to the Doctor.

"I'll send my assistant to check on the child once a week. If anything unexpected happens just remember, I'm always at the village." The Doctor reminded as he was heading out.

"I will Doctor, thank you again for helping us." Daniel replied, as opened the door.

"Please, my name is Henry." The Doctor replied as he was walking out the door. "Besides, it's my job to help people." Henry pointed out as he walked to his horse.

As Henry left, Daniel went back inside to find the baby asleep in his wife's arms.

"Isn't he beautiful?" The mother asks as she stares at the sleeping Kendrick.

"Yes he is, Martha." Daniel spoke softly as he sat down in a chair by the bed. As he sits down he looks at his wife and child, wondering how he got so lucky.

"Go ahead and rest now, Martha. I'll watch over both of you." Daniel states as he smiles at his wife and child.

"Just a little longer. I want to watch him a little longer." Marth replied as she cradled Kendrick in her arms. Daniel stared at his wife as if she was a Goddess, he smiled and leaned back as he watched her for about five more minutes until she fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Daniel looked at his family and smiled. Tired from the long labor and worry, slowly drifted off to sleep.

Ignorant to Daniel and his family, a cloaked individual with a sword at his waist watched the cottage from a distance.

"Stay here and watch the place, Shadow." A deep rough voice comes from the cloaked individual as they look to the left.

"Woof." A quiet bark replied from behind the cloaked person. A wolf as dark as the night emerged from behind the tree as it looked at the cottage.

"I'll take my leave, report back if anything happens." The voice from the cloak stated as he turned and left. The wolf then laid down next to the tree and watched the cottage as the sun slowly sank behind a mountain.
