The two mendressed in red cloaks strolled through what use to be a village but was nowreduced to an endless fireball blaze entrapped in black smog, from afar itresembled the aftermath of a gruesome war. “Sheesh, it’s pretty hot around heredon’t you think” said one of the men as he smirked and nudged his counterpart“is this really the time for that” responded the other man who intently scannedaround the incinerated area, “well it looks like there’s no sign of survivorshuman or non-human, but wow this is incredible to think Eros could close thegate and only occur this amount of damage” the other man suddenly looked at hispartner in disbelief, “you call all this a petty amount? You’re sick outlook onthings never fails to scare me Lance……Wait did you hear that” he said, as thetwo men held their tongues in silence they could hear feint sounds of cries comingfrom one of the houses that was reduced to rubble, the two men slowlyapproached the smoking rubble and the sound grew louder. “Lance your up “ theman said , the man he was referring to as lance lifted his two hands and spoke”gravitasurna” a gust of air suddenly cameforth from the man’s palms and ripped into the rubble sending the rocksscattering aside, the man quickly rushed into the rubble, “Tobi….Tobi what’s inthere…” Lance asked nervously. lance approached the hole that his partnerventured into and as he looked down inside he saw his partner carrying a babyin his arms, the toddler clutched on to the clothes of Tobi, blood was drenchedall over the toddlers naked body but the baby didn’t cry, his blue eyes justgazed in wonder at the men around him, “Tobi look….his...his-arm,” I know lance,I know……it looks like the arm of a demon spoke Tobi, as the two men gazed atone another in shock. The two men stood dumbfounded as they stared at thetoddlers cursed arm, the arm had a disfigured appearance and bore a reddishdark colour to it like glaciered blood. Meanwhile the inferno surrounding thembegun to slowly close in, “Tobi it’s time we left this place we’ve alreadyfound the Key so let’s head back to the City” but Tobi didn’t move a muscle hesimply stood like a statue and gazed at the infant. “TOBI! Wake up” Lance screamed which woke Tobi upfrom his Trance “yeah your right let’s move out” he replied, the two hooded menscurried out of the burning village and stood upon the hill afar and watched asthe flames engulfed the village leaving no shred of existence remaining. Thetwo men strolled into the night on horseback with the child in their company,they rode for about 4 hours before coming across a certain farm. “Phew, wefinally made it Lance “Tobi Said in relief, the two men then rode down fromatop the hillsides path to the farm grounds. “ Tobi are you sure this is theplace “asked Lance with concern, “err yup this is the place, the farm west fromthe wasteland is what I was told and this is it….. I think”. The two of themlooked for the entrance but could only replace wooden barn doors and open stables,“wait, what’s that little building over there” said Lance who spotted a nearbycottage, the two of them then went to investigate. When they finally stoodoutside the small cottage they noticed a red rusty old looking tractor parkedout the front, “seriously someone actually lives here” Lance exclaimed, “Ha-hathat sort of reaction is something I’d expect from someone whose use to thelavishness of living in royalty their whole life” Tobi replied, “well whateveryou call me It doesn’t change the fact this place looks dreadful I mean look atthat vehicle the doors are barely staying on and most of the back is missing”whilst Lance continued to prod at the presentation of the cottage the lightsfrom the inside suddenly came on , “ oh shoot now you’ve done it you see what happens when you start yapping on“ Tobi quickly jumped off his stead , he ripped a piece of his cloak apart andwrapped the naked infant in it, he then placed the boy at the front of the doorand quickly mounted his horse. The red cottage door slowly creaked open and an oldman in his night gown and hat came shooting out the door holding a huntingrifle, “WHO GOES THERE” he shouted “BEST MAKE YOURSELVES KNOWN IM ARMED” headded, then shooting right behind him was a small old lady fidgeting with herglasses, “oh keep it down will ya, your gunna wake up all the neighbors” she saidto the man “NEIGHBOURSSS? What in heavens are you on about women, look aroundya there’s not a single house within miles of here, talking to me aboutneighbors, madness must not be too far away by the looks of it ….talking aboutmadness, by the way when’s it your birthday again” as the old man continued hisloud the old lady peered outside and spotted the little infant sitting on thefloor. “Oh heavens Johnathan look at that…. It’s a little baby boy” she quicklyapproached the boy and held him up into the air, “look at his eyes he’s such apretty thing isn’t he” she said “WAIT WHAT... what do you think you’re doingwomen that child might be a trap, thee ole cattle rustlers might be tryna lureas in …. Quickly chuck him into the bushes” the old man yelped, “Are you out ofyour senile mind …..Cattle rustlers? And I’m the crazy one am I, but look theredoesn’t seem to be any sign from anyone, I think he was purposely left herejohn”. The old man lowered his rifle and proceeded back into his home, “ohheavens do what you gotta do women I’m off to bed” he said, he then walked off scratchinghis backside. The old lady continued to stare at the blue eyed child who gazedback into her eyes , “ the gods have answered my prayers and favored me in mylater years” she said to the boy “ and I’m guessing you don’t have a name doya…..mmmm that’s alright though , starting from today your name shall be ...”the old lady paused for a few moments and gazed above into the moonlight sky,she saw a shooting star shining across the sky and said “Jyro, Jyro Thomas”.The red cottage door closed and little Jyro was carried inside, meanwhile thetwo men riding their horses stood from afar and watched on,“ do you think he’llbe ok Tobi… I mean he has that arm and”, “shhh try not to worry so much Lancethese people were chosen for a reason so I’m sure he’ll be fine, anyhow will beseeing him soon I hope…. I mean 10 years isn’t a long time is it now”, the twomen then left the farm and rode away into the darkened valley.
