Episode 1

{Aaron}

Power is necessary if you want to

survive in this harsh and cruel world. A reality most people tend to ignore.

I was like that

once a naive child who knew nothing of the world he lived in. even to this day I

still can't believe the things that I saw. Some of them were the most beautiful

of events history had to offer beyond the imagination of any man or woman and

some were history's worst of times to be alive in. No one would ever wish that

they can live in those times but I did and I saw the good and bad of this

world.

Ever had somebody tell

you this line “ if you live long enough people will remember you” a friend

told me that a long time ago and he was partly right except in my case it

wasn't people who remembered me but monsters. Creatures who live in the dark

corners of this world. Ever had a friend tell you he saw something weird

in the clouds and describe it to you and in your head, you think he must be

tried I should tell him to get some rest. You even try to tell him that there

is nothing there. The irony is he might have been right about what he saw but no will

believe him why you ask the answer is quite simple actually because what he saw

wanted to be seen. I guess you could this is how they get their kicks. They

have to ability to come and go to our world as they please. They come and go

when they want and can be seen when they want as well. Imagine knowing that as

a kid.

People tend to use words like

impossible or how can this be real when they encounter one of these creatures. I

said those very words when I was eight years old. When I came face to face with

one of those denizens who live in the shadows of myth and legend. Can you

imagine at eight years old seeing what I saw? Some things stay

with you no matter how long you live. You think with time that you'll forget it

but trust me when I tell you it won’t happen. I outlived my enemies, my friends,

and my family. I’ve seen the fall and rise of humanity many times and I still

remember that day like it was yesterday.

If you gave me a paintbrush and

told me to draw it out I would do it with precise detail .that's how deeply

rooted this memory is in my mind.

   It was summer and I was on a cruiser with my little brother and twin sisters.

We were going on a trip to Africa for mom’s birthday. Grandma was waiting for

us there. I missed her ever since we left our home country in Africa.She

cried when we boarded our first cruiser. I was five years old when I followed my parents

and siblings watched as we went farther and farther away from the shore. “I couldn’t wait

to see her,” I said out loud.
