Prologue

    Since the beginning of sin and chaos, the time of the fallen angels, the gates had been shut tightly, with blood and with darkness and with light...never to be opened again...

  Or so it was beloved...

 Thousands of years later, in a village so small, a new story was unfolding...the binds holding the foundation of the gates were getting weak and weaker...

The little children were chanting;

        Behind the gates of the fallen angel

        Laid inside, the tongue can't voice

        Five of them which are chosen

        Only by them, shall we all be saved.

" Run Amy! Run!" Eve Green shouted to her running five-year-old daughter, Eve could see the tears streaming down her daughter's eyes, already wetting her dark, long and beautiful lashes as she ran towards the forest at the back of their used-to-be cottage.

" Run child, You have a purpose, you are chosen" Eve said again but only this time, she whispered. Amy turned to look back just in time to see her dear mother slewed through the neck as blood gushed out of her mouth and the wound, Amy stared helplessly in horror from her mother's face to the man who had just killed her mother in cold blood. She turned and continued to run deeper into the forest.

 Amy knew him, 'Draco', it was the monster of a man her mother always told her of, Eve told her of all the dreadful things Draco could do and the ones he had already done. He looked just as her mother described, he wore an eye patch on his right eye and had an ugly scar that ran from his left eye, across his nose bridge and ended roughly at his right lower jaw, his lips were pale and broken, like that of which was thirsty, he looked so dreadful and dirty. What she thought was merely a tale to scare kids her age to teach them to behave had become a reality so cruel.

It wasn't long that Amy ran out of breath and paused to stop herself from fainting in the middle of nowhere, she looked back and saw Draco just a few feet away from her, he gave her a crooked and devilish smile that made Amy shiver in fear, she saw him starting to approach her with the axe he was dragging behind him. Amy didn't bother to think any more and just ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her, she ran so fast she could feel the night's cool breeze hitting her hard on the face, making her eyes to water, Amy looked back once and saw that Draco was walking effortlessly with his axe that made a nerve wrecking noise as it made contact with the cold hard ground. Amy felt a huge ball of pain in her heart; she was in the middle of nowhere in a forest with no place to go and a man she barely knew was dragging an axe he'd use to chop off her head without mercy and even if she somehow managed to escape him by some miracle, she was sure she wouldn't last the night in that dark forest habitated by wild animals, they would surely devour her...Why was all these happening to a five year old like her?...
