Forward
The sound of a baby crying can be heard as two figures stand in the shadows of the trees.
"The child has survived..."
"Execute the mother; she must not spread the word"
"There's no need... She died as the child took its first breath."
"Are you sure this is the child?"
""The last sage foretold of a miracle reaching life in this world that would be both the salvation and destruction of our world... It was said that it would bring memories of its many battles against darkness... It bears a scar... You can see it for yourself..."
Out of the shadows two cloaked figures stroll towards an old battered hut. One stands by the entrance while the other enters...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CHILD IS GONE?????"
Panic rises as many figures search the forest. One remains sitting by a lit fire...
"He, he, he... That was easier than I thought..." he chuckled to himself as he softly rocked a small bundle in his arms.
He stood and walked into the shadows... Never to be seen again...
