The man they called the "Knight" welded only a sword, but had great pride in his strength and resolve. This man was nothing like he was then, when he was a teenage boy. The man found love, had a life, had a family; a wife and a ten year old son. He was strong, and had the kindest heart. He worried for his family, and protected them with all his might; and that is what he died believing he protected.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbQ50Fmdk

The man ran up the darkness of the path of the hill, heading to the highest standing homes in the city; the home of the black-wood family. The family concealed in secrecy and evil things, they were believed to be the only existing wielders of magic. They were believed to have magic, which was always just part of stories and myths. Childhood tales that children grew up knowing the word, magic. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yhmSOYt4m
No one knew if this was true or not, or if it was just a rumor. Only my father knew, and he never came out alive to tell the tale and reveal what was hidden to us. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtstnZrdY

Even so, their presence concerned the people of the town. They used to say that if you were close enough to the hill top, and you looked very closely; you could see a young girl leading through the window. With eyes as red as crimson, different people saw different colored eyes staring down. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBy577gVwI
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2lIheDk4D
Even though they claim to have seen a similar girl with the same features; some claimed to have seen gray eyes instead of red. And sometimes their were claims of yellow eyes, green eyes, and even purple. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0EMy7upvI
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06MNxtafbE
Then sometimes they would say that if you looked into other windows; you could see two others. You could see a boy about two years older , with similar features to the girl. But, everyone always claimed to see the same colored eyes; yellow.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMpIWw2EEX
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbLFibh3ME
They say those eyes were unwelcoming, and a warning to stop staring at their home. And then, you would see a woman. She would be claimed to be their mother, or even their caregiver. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOlPKTFaCA
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IHhaJkKDk
She always had the most sad and blank look; and she would be seen sitting in a chair looking out the window with a book in her lap. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTleUXwlXt5
Even if the claims were rare, some say that if you caught them on the right moment. You could see all three; together, happy.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNvk061Trd
But they were still concerning people, and had to be deal with.Which is what my father did, and that cost him his life. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWGN5T3mf
That night, the last time I saw him was at the door. I don't remember everything from that night. But I remember running up to my dad before he left at the door. "Where are you going, dad?" He smiled at me and patted my head. "I'm going out on a business run, your dad is doing something very important." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaJPaD97Y

"When will you be home?" I remember him knealing down and ruffling my head. "Soon, kiddo. Promise me you will watch over your mother while I'm gone?"615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUO3ljUroE
I remember nodding promising him I would. "Remember, whatever happens. We are all family, even if our number is small; or even when one goes rogue. Family watches out for each other, and loves each other; no matter what."615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JM3C03Ewd
That was the last I heard from him, and I soon knew why.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33DRCwZWs
What happened to him the rest of the night , I did not know. But there was one more event that happened that night that still remains a mystery. But we all knew what it meant. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5rGvhTzt
Around Eleven that night, I remember my mother sitting down on the couch, trying to find a way to patch up my father's jacket. I sat near her, infront of the t.v. playing with my plane.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbbIa2nuCB

Then, a purple light engulfed the night sky, and me and my mother's attention went toward the window. Everything began to shake, as the light got closer. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSFyI63Cq
I saw my mother drop the jacket and she stood up walking toward the window. When I looked at her, her eyes went wide. "Sweetie... Get...get down!" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iy3zRfECy
Seeing her run to me, she held me close as she grabbed me ducking under the coffee table. The purple light in golfed everything, and then everything was silent.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6iPQLcDKJ
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1v8NEPW0d
My father never came home after that, and I remember approaching my mom two days after he left. "Mommy, when is dad coming home?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ARhvF6Aa
"He is home, he's right here" She said. I didn't understand what she meant back then, but now I do. He was gone, but he was here. Which means he was dead. But he was watching us.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8b7vE0fp
