THE BEGINNING

"Get everyone out of here!!!" Duncan said.

...The village was in danger...

"Duncan, our men are taking heavy fire. We're losing a lot of people. She's too powerful." Kane said, dodging a heavy blast coming his way.

*CRIES OF A BABY*

"Duncan, you can't go and fight her. She's way too powerful. Think about the kids... Think about Tellania. Let's just go into the forest and live there!" Sara said balancing a crying baby on her back and holding a five year olds' hand in hers.

"Listen Sara, the people need us. It's my job as a warrior to protect the village." Duncan said, wiping tears from her (Sara) eyes.

"But, the people never assigned to be their warrior. You assigned yourself!" Sara said she Duncan bent his head.

He went on his knees and kissed the five year olds' forehead. Then he took the baby from Sara and kissed her forehead.

...The baby stopped crying...

He looked at Sara and said, "If I don't make it back alive, always remember... that I will always love you."

After these words, he kissed his wife and ran back to the village.

"DUNCAN!!! NO!!!!!" She screamed and the two girls started to cry.

Kane was on the floor.

"...D... Dun..can... Is.. that you?" He asked and Duncan went over to him.

"Kane! What happened!?" Duncan asked and brought out a little towel and soaked it in a nearby pool.

"...You...don't have to..*cough* do this.." Kane said and started floating.

"Kane?" Duncan muttered under his breath.

"Aah! A perfect doll for my collection." Grimalkin, the witch said as she lifted Kane into the air with her power.

Then she started tightening her fist.

"...I... can't..b...reath.." Kane mumbled and gave up the ghost.

"Time to take dolly to his new home. Follow me, Duncan." Grimalkin said and flew into a forest.

Millions of dead bodies were hanged on leafless trees.

She hanged Kane's body to the branch of an empty tree and took a knife and cut a huge hole in his neck, then plucked out his eyes.

Blood dropped from his lifeless body...

"Why did you bring me here?" Duncan asked in fear, yet bravery.

"To let you know you're new home, of course." She replied coldly.

"My... new home?" Duncan asked in confusion and the skies turned black...

"Thunder here and there...

I see it everywhere,

During the night,

During the day,

The children never play,

But, all I need to say

Is for you to perish today..." Grimalkin said and it started raining blood.

"What's... going on?" Duncan asked.

"This spot was where I died... And this same spot will be your burial ground." Grimalkin said and struck Duncan with a bolt of thunder.

Duncan fell to the ground and died.

Grimalkin however, picked up his lifeless body and hung it on a tree dripping blood...

... And she was never to be seen again....
