All Hope Is Gone

Prologue: It was until that Day...

Screams rang in the ears of Hideo,as he hid behind the wall;frozen in  his fear,whilst his baby brother,Vergil,wailed restlessly in his crib. Hideo feared that his noise would alert the Raiders of their position once the screams from the other village inhabitants had died down. The unmistakable scent of smoke filled his nostrils,as he watched the red and gold flames dance,consuming what had once been a house,located opposite his own. What seemed liked hours to Hideo had passed,and at last,the collective screaming came to an abrupt,concerning halt. Vergil began to cry again,his cries were louder and more strained than it was once before,or perhaps it was just the lack of contrast between his and the other's screams. Hideo knew for sure that the Raiders were now aware of their presence. He could hear the crunching of the twigs and leaves on the ground,as the noises slowly began to draw closer and closer,until he heard the door get kicked down. Without hesitation,he threw himself infront of his infant brother,his arms extended at his sides. "You will not touch him." Hideo said,tears pouring down his face. The Raiders laughed at the boy's attempt of being a hero,and continued walking towards him,their swords poised. In one swift motion,one of the Raiders plunged his sword into Hideo's chest. He fell to the floor,grasping his wound as he squirmed in pain,bathing in a pool of his own blood. The Raiders approached the crib in which Vergil had laid. "I told you," began Hideo,strangely smiling as he coughed up some blood.
"You will not TOUCH HIM!" Hideo screamed,as the three Raiders burst into a fury of blue flames,their screams of anguish filled the land as their lifeforce dissipated til they were naught but ash. Hideo crawled on the floor,scratching and clawing his way toward his brother. He peered over the crib,and dabbed some of his bloods on his fingers,as he painted the symbol of what resembled a reverse crucifix. "See,darkness covers this earth,and thicker dark is over the people,but He rises upon you and glory appears over you,so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by their faith in me. For our struggle is not of the flesh and blood,but of the rulers,of the authorities,of the powers of this dark world,and of the divinity of death. As He said upon to his followers,let those who walk in the light burn in it's blindingness,for the path of the dead you shall FOLLOW!" Hideo's final words echoed throughout the entire remains of the wasteland that was one the village of his family's residence. The blue flames that had rested deep within his soul exposed themselves,and burrowed its way into Vergil's young soul. With a final gasp for air,Hideo fell the ground,dead. And in his final moments,he had bestowed upon to this Earth,a new saviour. Vergil.
