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.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq3pmR6b2s

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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfdKngjZ4
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AZUFVB0DR

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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtFZ1153A
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhfl6r8L4R
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofkYJZlgl2
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyUyYzAB66
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.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdrrct8v6A
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KV8Keu93
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdIgQbUn6O
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9FVxh7Xew
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBDOe24iUx
Even if the claims were rare, some say that if you caught them on the right moment. You could see all three; together, happy.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx7Q1i7TdT
But they were still concerning people, and had to be deal with.Which is what my father did, and that cost him his life. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNiSNxR0cG
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." 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgF0SiFVJF

"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?"710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFo04hLgN
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."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cawN5Kz22
That was the last I heard from him, and I soon knew why.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpQ1kwB5x
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f7Qzor8BT
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.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NP7XmtIZH
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZzBp4H021
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. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugP2tkQvHh
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!" 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKFlsiEtzU
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.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsETGaI5aJB
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJODhQ2lo
My father never came home after that, and I remember approaching my mom two days after he left. "Mommy, when is dad coming home?" 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp3RAgodw5
"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.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0OFAoyTFQ
