1 The Prophecy

There was once a legend told by a begger whose name was only known as Obed. The netizens of New Orlends tend to think that this old man have simply just lost his mind. Talking in some kind of language that nobody can understand. He even used to give a warning to the netizens but eventually his warning are flushed down the drains as everyone just look at him with no interest and just shook their heads. Some even sympathize that old dirty man.

But little do they know, all the words that came out of his mouths are something that he have foresee in a long time to know what will happen next. Is like he was given the power to predict the future!

As always the netizens will leave this old begger to himself and one day, a girl who is about 6 years old walking hand in hand with her mother. They were talking as the lottle girl was being curious about everything on her path and are asking her mother about the things that only children their age would ask their parents about he why's and how's.

As soon as they walk passed the old begger who was sitting on the pavement, the man who was known as Obed grab hold of the little girl's hand that make the little girl scream in a surprise and causing the mother to try to pry her daughter's hand from this old begger. But the begger himself looks like something has taken over his body as his eyes were lifeless as they pierced into the little girl's eyes and said; "Beware of the night as He will come for you to be claim as his! Beware my girl as you are gifted with a pure heart! Beware of the night with the cold blue eyes! Beware!"

With this being said, the little girl's mother face suddenly turn pale as she looked at her daughter that is now quiet and scared as she was shaking vigorously. But Obed continues and said, " There was a prophecy that on the night when the moon is red, the wolf will howls and the night will be cold as ever. That is the night where He will come for you! Once you turn 21, you must know to differentiate your friends and foes, those who can be trusted and those who are not worthy. There will be someone in your life that will backstab you and try to ruin you."

"That's enough!" the mother of the child who had enough with these nonsense simply want to get away from these old man.

" Only the beauty with the purerss heart can tamed the beast!" That was when the old begger eyes starts to return back to life and he was at the little girl with a smile that shows the wrinkles in the corner of his eyes. He seems curious and dumbfounded when he finally get a grip of reality.

"What is your name my girl?" He ask the little girl who is now trying to stiffle her sobs.

"A-Aphro-ro-dite..."

The old begger just smiled and said, "I'm Obed. That's a lovely name you have there." He says which indeed stops the little girl's crying and a smile starting to spread and her face starting to glow again from being praised and she looked at her mom with her warm hazel eyes.

But the instant she looked at her mother, the old bad looked at her mother with a gaze that have warning signs in it. "What was that about?" She asked. Totally worrying for the things he have said earlier.

Instead, all he does was smile at her with his warming brown eyes and said, "Just take a good care of little Aphrodite."
