Chapter 1 - Chapter 01 - Bad dreams,Bad day

(At Fostergates)

A group of people gathering around a black stone plate on which something is written in the lost tongue of vaelari. After everyone gathered, they chanted some magical words. Suddenly sky is filled with dark blue coloured clouds and filled with rumbling of thunders.

A strong thunder hit the Stone plate and broke it into two. A black blood started flowing from the broken stone and flowed till it touched a dead body. People who gathered around the dead body knelt down and raised their left first forward which showed a Z shaped tattoo. Suddenly That dead body opened its eyes showing veins inside his eyes.

"Noo!!" Panting fastly to catch the breath, his face was sweaty from being nervous. "Robin? You okay?" Gina asked by placing her hand on his forehead, checking for temperature. "Bad dream again?" Gina moved closer with worried face. "What are you doing here?" Robin shrugged her hand away from his head. "That's not an answer!!" Gina frown made him feel bad. "Nothing serious Gina, I'm fine" Gina still with a sulky face and gave him a box of cookies and moved towards the door to leave.

"Cookies? What's the ocassion?" She turned back and came to him. Gave a strong flick on his forehead which made him gasp in pain. "What th- Your dead." Gina started running with a laugh and Robin chased her out of his single room house. "Happy birthday Robin" Gina's mother, Shasha heathers waved at him with a big smile from the car. Gina went inside the car from getting flicked at her forehead by Robin.

"Thankyou, Mrs. Heathers. Thanks for your efforts" Mrs. Heathers caressed his hair with affection and love. "Come on, get in the car" She offered him to get into but Robin shook his head rejection. "Got some deliveries to do,...Sorry" Gina put her head outside the car window to speak with him. "But it's your birthday!!" Robin sighed and came closer to her. "It's my responsibility too, dumber" He gave a flick on her head and His mother started the car as their fight gonna take a lot of time to settle down. "Take care, love" Mrs. Heathers gave flying kiss to him turning the steering. "Take care, Mrs. heathers!!" Robin waved with his two hands saying goodbye.

He went inside and opened the box of cookies and saw a letter in between the cookies. Saying " Mr. dumby, I hope you ate all cookies without leaving anything behind. For your information, Those are specially made by me " Robin choked while eating when he read the last line but felt surprised as even though Gina is a bad cook, she can bake good cookies. He continued reading the letter " as It is your third teen birthday, it is my responsibility to give you a birthday party by being a person who has experience of 2 months more than you. So, there is a surprise party for you at 7 PM at my House. If you miss this, you will not celebrate another birthday with us( It means you're dead meat)". Robin laughed at her childishness which he loved in her since they were kids.

He got ready to do his job as soon as possible and visit the church for prayer. He completed all of his deliveries but left with a last unseen one in his bag. While zipping the bag, he observed that something was left behind. So he checked inside and looked at the parcel which is covered with black tape.

He looked in the list but there is no information about this parcel but there is an address written on it. That address is Four streets away from where he is now. So he decided to deliver it as he has some time before going to church. He reached infront of a big individual villa which looked like very old place. That place is fully filled with eerie feeling and his body felt something abnormal in there. But he looked at the parcel and went inside and called if anyone are there. "Excuse me?! Is anyone here??" He asked in empty space.

Without knowing anything, he roamed the whole place and heard some voice coming from the backyard. He went following those echoes of that voice. When he reached backyard, he saw a person in green and grey outfit, covered in blood and gasping in pain form the cuts. He rushed towards him and put the box aside and took a napkin and pressed on his open wound.

"Sir!! Are you alright?!!" He looked into the man eyes. That man looked at the parcel and laughed by coughing "So finally it reached you?!" Robin was confused and looked at the direction he is looking and realised it's the parcel he is talking about. "Is this yours sir?? oh no!! Your bleeding heavily!! Sir let me take you to the hospital" He tried to lift him but that man declined his help and Spouted something with low voice.

"Take it to Elarion. No matter what." He pulled him by hand and said this in his ear. "Elar- what? Where is it sir? I don't know what your talking about?!" A strong wind hit above them and wall behind cracked and was about to fall on them. He covered his head by shielding with his hands from the broken bricks of the wall. But realized none of them hit him, So he opened his eyes slowly seeing that he is covered by a bunch of tree roots. They slowly uncovered him revealing that wounded man standing in front of him defending from that Evil thing in front of them.

"Sir!! What's going on?!! What the hell is it!!?" As he is asking the questions, That Evil thing's interest turned towards Robin. That thing created a black spikes from the ground which was about to hit Robin but stopped. Robin looked at that thing as it is struggling from earthen roots entangled to its neck. They are controlled by this man and he took one of that black spikes hit instead of Robin.

"You need to leave this place! Now!! Remember!!Take it to Elarion..." That man covered that evil thing into earthen roots completely, but it is slowly trying to free itself from roots. "But-But I don't know, where elarion is!" That guy came to him and touched his face with his palm. "Mother earth will tell you....Follow it" Saying those words he pushed a white luminous ball into Robin's chest which made him loose his consciousness.

He barely saw some visions of them fighting. But his body is paralyzed.

(At church)

Sister pero is lighting the candles, wishing for robin on his birthday. She prayed for god to give him a happy and long life but suddenly a strong wind hit those candles and shattered everything on the table. A loud *thud* sound came from the store room, Sister pero prayed that nothing evil should happen and went towards that sound. She slowly opened the store room, revealing a Fifteen year-old boy laying there unconscious and covered with tree roots and mud.

"Oh lord, Robin!!!" She shouted so loud that everyone in the church has come to see what happened. She tried to wake him up but he is frequently spouting something as "Take it to Elarion...Take it....Tak-" Sister pero is shaking him from the sleep but he is not responding.

Father Christopher, Poured some holy water on robin by chanting some words. With aloud gasp he woke up from the sleep and inhaling breath sharply. "Robin! You okay son?" Father Christopher asked him by checking on him. Robin nodded as he is okay but he is still shaking from the shock of what happened. Everyone was relaxed after hearing,he said he was okay.

"I should leave, sister pero" He stood up and was about to leave. "No Robin, I cannot leave you like this" She held his hand and stopped. "Nothing happed sister, please don't tell this to heathers family. They arranged a party for me, need to go there." He smiled with pleading face, but sister pero is against his will but couldn't disagree with him so she let him go. She handed him some holy water and a crux for protection. Even though robin doesn't believe in god and stuff, he took them as he felt something uneasy about what happened earlier.

He came out of the church and looked at the holy water bottle but saw a strange shadow coming from above. He looked at the top of the church and shocked after seeing it. He was so shocked and shaken as he cannot believe what he saw on the top of the church......
