Day's of Black Misery - Chapter 1: The Beginning

No one knew what secret I had I hidden for so long. No one knew all the troubles that I had endured. No one even practically knew me. For I had never stayed in one place for long. My names has been written down in books for the things I have done in the Past. I look that I am eighteen years old, but actually I am A lot older than that. I am around 7000 years old. I have seen the Pyramids when they were new, saw the Black Plague engulf Europe, Saw the Fall of the Inca and Aztec Empires, and Saw the Pilgrims and Puritans settle in New England for Religious Escape from the Church Of England, and the Rich Folk of England Settle in Jamestown for wealth. I have seen almost everything that Has ever happened. I have not seen The Meteor that wiped out the Dinosaurs, Or for what Christians believe, Creation of the earth by God, and The time when Dinosaurs ruled the Land. Other than that, I have seen it all. Standing on the Top of Mt. Everest does not help the ones who are terrified of heights. I have long since conquered my Fear of that.

 

The wind blew at my back, making my long Choclate Brown hair to blow in the breeze. I wore nothing but a Pair of Black Jeans and a Shirt. I felt like an Eagle, looking down at the white colored landed with Splotches of Gray here and there. Looking down below me on the mountain, I found Tents at certain areas along the way down the side of Everest. I looked up at the Sky with my Icy Blue eyes, searching for the reason I was placed on this Planet. After 7000 years I still don't know Why I was placed on this Planet for. It's sad actually, a 7000 year old being still does not now why they were placed on Earth. Spreading My wing, I flew up into the cool night air and Flew off towards my Current Home, For I was bound to move somewhere soon. Looking down I saw that people were still out and about in China and India. It was Always typical to see light on in China, even at a late hour. I Traveled to South America in four hours. Seems Like it would take longer right? Not if you have a pair of Black wings. You see, I'm not a Human Being. Of course Not! A Human can hardly live to a Hundred years old. I am what you might cal a Demon. But back When I was Born, Created, whatever you might say, my race was said to be called 'Fallen Angels'. When we were seen flying above Villages, we could hear them shout "Look! it's the Fallen Angels!"

 

But that all changed when we flew over the Puritans in New England. They Shouted out "RUN! It's the Demons!". We Were offended by that and we never flew over their region again. We had heard that they were holding Witch hunts. We had to go into Hiding, for the Rumor of Witches spread. We were forced to hide where ever we could. I, personally, hid Down in the Jungles of South America. The Rumors Wouldn't spread to that Area of the New World, So for the moment I was safe. my First Shelter I had made was on the Ground Near the Base of a tree. I was driven out by the snakes' eyes I could feel On me While I slept at night. I moved My shelter to the Top of the Tallest Tree I could Find. I was Driven out by the howling winds that Threatened to knock me out of the tree. So I moved to the Middle of the Tree, where no Snakes or the thought of being thrown out of a tree by the winds, where nothing bothered me much. 'Much' here is the key word. I had a few Problems with Monkeys a few times, but not much.

 

I arrived back at my house, and walked in. Instantly I knew something was wrong. It seemed to quiet in the house. Usually I Could hear the Sounds of the Amazon, but not tonight. Walking through the House I noticed that somethings were missing. The Painting of Italy in 1856 was gone and the vase made back in Egyptian times was gone. What's going on? I asked myself. I looked to my Left and then right. Nothing else seemed missing.What ever had came intook only that, I didn't mind, That stuff was only a Replica. The real things were down stairs in n Underround Vault that was sealed so it looked like it wouldn't be on the verge of rotting. I walked over to the kitchen, after folding my wings back into my back, and took out a sprite. Sipping it I went down stairs and went to the Workshop. I had to walk around the middle of the tree trunk that went through the middle of the house and through the top. I looked around and finally found what I was looking for, a map. Yeah, so what, a 7000 year old demon can't remember anything you know. I looked for the Lost City of Atlantis, Where is was last sited. I looked at the marking's I have made in the past and saw it. I had marked the city with a small Blue Crown, the marking was out in the pacific Ocean a good 500 miles from the shores of Hawaii. Looking out thw window I saw that it wasgetting close to Midnight. It was never safe to fly in the Dead of night. I folded up the map carefully and put it back on the small shelf with the other maps. I had the maps labeled by years: 5000 B.C.; 4999 B.C.; 4998 B.C. and so on and so forth. I walked back up the stairs and went to my room.

 

I walked into the makeshift Shower and washed my hair. Stepping out I wrapped a towel around me and dryed off, I then changed in to a Black silk Kimono I got in Japan a few years ago. I crawled into bed and soon drifted off to sleep.
