Blood Moon Dark Shadows

The Evil Has Returned

12:00 AM

The city of Zorlan is illuminated with the artificial lights created by humans. Still, there is bustling. Thousands of people. Thousand stories. Thousand emotions. The old man closing his food stall after a tiring day. The office worker returning home from a late night overtime. The college students having their time of life. The Policeman standing at the corner to maintain discipline. The old woman, who opens her stall at night, to provide food to the night workers. The doctors taking a break from their routine. The lawyer preparing for his case. The billionaires returning from their parties. And many more. Still doing what they have done always. Working, dreaming, living. Unaware of the darkness that is close to them. So close.

The forest of death. Evil. The forest of Egar.

People heard about it, they ignore it. They don't come near the borders even. Thinking that would be safe like that.

But the evil of the forest is invisible. Because it resides in its depth. Deep down in a place that no one has seen. The roads around the forest are forbidden.

But not for the person in the black like coal Raptor, moving on the one deserted road unknown to the outside world.

Black eyes, raven black hair. Few strands of those fell back on his face. Those intimidating black eyes, like a deep abyss, deep in thought. Unafraid of the looming darkness, he moves toward his destination.

There is a dark path covered with overgrown tree branches, invisible to the outside world. Near the creek, at the turning of the road that leads to the village of saal. The owner of the raptor is aware of it as his vehicle moves in that direction.

After a long stretch of overgrown branches, there is a pebbled road, leading to the high walled iron-clad gates. Darkness looms over it like a blanket. Only the moon shines over it, giving it a dark aura, the aura of death. The huge old gothic-styled abandoned palace covers almost half the area of Egar. Abandoned. That's what it will look like to wanted visitors. But this is the place where the evil of Egar resides. A nightmare. A dark illusion. Waiting for its prey.

The Man of the Raptor enters the code on the panel on the sidewall of the gate, it opens with an old rusted sound.

A curved road surrounds the deteriorated garden that leads to the front of the black doors. One man is standing there. Tall, blonde hair that reaches the shoulders, Pale grey eyes, red-tinted lips, lean-faced, with a charming smile. He stands there lazily as he waits for the black raptor.

The raptor reaches the front door. And the man looks at the pale blonde with a deep tired sigh. He gets out of his car and locked it. And walked towards the other.

" You are late Professor. He has been waiting for you. He doesn't seem to be in a good mood. My people provided him with his food to calm him down. But it is not working this time. He seems to be agitated."

" What food, Sanderas?"

"You know, the usual." The Pale blonde whose name is Sanderas replied with a cunning smile.

"Who is it?" asked the man with black intimidating eyes.

"The one who failed."

"You know this is the 20th one who failed, so he got enraged and gave him what the losers deserve," said Sanderas

"For god's sake, he needs to calm his blood. It takes a lot of effort to hire a researcher, and I can't hide it from the people, you know who. We don't wish to make them aware of it. But thanks to you and the hot-headed man. They will know sooner. You two need to control it. The next time, try to serve that slave woman of yours who you call your lover. She will be much better food. She has served her purpose."
