Prologue- Ancient Times

Prologue for One Of Eight

June 8^th, year of 224

Finally. After all these years of research of testing, of pain, finally, I have achieved it. The ultimate power. I don't know what I will become, but I shall be invincible, unchallengeable. I must tell of this, I must give the world the power to be great!

They are going to hang me, or banish me. I've been accused of witchcraft, but it was only science and determination. I did not commit a felony. Oh no, here they come to take me to gallows, I must drink.

Soon, I shall be great, and I shall forever be known as Malum, a powerful Latin word, of which, I do not know it's definition.

God be with ye.

June 14^th, year of 225

It has been a year since Malum wrote this, and in the days after the village could hear his screams of agony though we could not find him, only an empty bottle and shredded clothing. I have now made a formula to defeat him! A mixture so powerful it shall give one person the power of the forces of nature, of which Malum is not. The only things that can defeat him, nature and love. Malum's new form was conceived of neither.

The formula was stolen! By one of Malum's followers, no doubt.

There must be a spy among us.

I cannot recreate the serum! 'Tis impossible! I created a diluted version that I must give to eight people, each shall only have one power. We must choose wisely.

December 15^th, year of 247

I am dying, sickness has struck the village, I am the last to die. Soon, Malum and his Fire Children shall eat our infested remains. The powers still did not show, and now they are dead. Their children live on, however, they moved away a long time ago, drawn by a purpose they did not know of. I shall never forget the old witch's words:

Darkness' light shall overcome

And the war shall be lost

The ripples in the Water

will fade to nothing

and Life shall discover new highs

Fire will burn away evil

and free himself

Air shall learn her value

and take her place in the skies

Light will surrender and hide

only to recover and fight

The Earth will calm itself

and stop its never ending quake

And greenery will sprout

from the ashes of her world

If this is to become reality

And evil overcome,

Many, innocent and evil,

will realize their mortality

And the love that grows,

beautiful yet lethal

shall decide

whether it is the thorns,

or the rose.

A prophecy she had spoke to me as she walked calmly to the gallows. And now, I shall see, her, and learn of what she speaks. God with ye,

Author's Note

Thoughts? I seriously suck at prophecies, help?

This was a well done "prophesy"
I've decided to read from the beginning instead of from what... chapter sixty-nine? =o
This is a great start to a story I can't wait to begin.
It was very mystical and intriguing, and definitely felt like the kind of prophesy you were aiming for.
Good work

Reminds me of some of a friends ideas. Cool nontheless and I wasn't saying you stole them I was just saying I was reminded. It sounds like some would like it but I'm not into that kinda stuff. Good job though I couldntve done it

[Odayin]

I said I would keep reading and so I shall

[Max Hernz]

Sophie, as I said before to you, The prophecy sounds fine. I really like it actually. Nice prolouge, it is a good enterance to this book. I think it fits perfectly! The back history explains a lot and I think it is a great intro! Though being written by two different people, it IS a bit confusing, but not too much. Keep Writing! :D

[MandaBear]

I cant wait to read more. this sounds very interesting. I want to know what happens next. but i do agree with lina that the one part is alittle hard to read but its it very good. I love this!

[Lina Grey]

Could you change the font to something a bit easier on the eyes, please? It's a bit hard to read. :P
The prophecy is fine to me. It ties in to each of the eight powers and has a sense of mystery to it. I like the idea of the prologue being a collection of entries, like in a journal, giving backhistory but also being a bit biased in the persepctive, as it's by two different people. Well done. Thank you.
