The Immoral Darkness
Prologue: The Revelation
A primordial and ancient scroll unfolded by the withering, slimy hands that clamped onto the elusive sheet, focusing on the sentence that read the much anticipated destiny. It said:
"Once the balance hath been broken, thy Malevolent Darkness shall again raise, to vigorously penetrate through delicate defenceless souls."

"Mummy, I'm still waiting!" Cassie whined, whilst she slipped into her white teddy bear pyjamas. Her mother would always be captivatingly crooning to Cassie. It was their routine, a family tradition. She eagerly leaped onto her comfy bed and swiftly slid under her cushy duvet, embracing the warmth that lay underneath. Her crystal blue eyes appeared as an ocean of joy and happiness that was soon to be overturned. Her brunette hair flowed down past her shoulders merging into beautiful curls. She appeared rather petite and vulnerable under her pink protective layer yet a faint shimmer of power incarnate were radiating from within her. One day, that faint shimmer dimly glowing would escalate in haste, illuminating with such perfection that the unknown immortal monarchy will rely on this shimmer out of sheer desperation.
No one knew that it was yet to come, however soon it may be.
Her face brightened at the sight of her mother at the doorway, entering her room. Her mother's golden-brown hair streamed all the way down to her waist, shimmering with magnificence. Reminiscently, it was of a reflection of the sunset on the sea, mesmerizing with awe. Her visage was enthralling, capturing your eyes to an intriguingly bronzed skin. Her plump pink lips broadened into an amorous smile, before she paced towards the bed and seated herself next to Cassie.
"Are you ready, mia Stella?" Her mother questioned. She was answered by an overly eager nod from Cassie. Her mother parted her lips and an enchanting sound escaped, captivating Cassie's mind and replacing it with troubled wonders engulfed with the mixtures of lightness and darkness. It was surreal.
Cassie, who was snuggled comfortably in her bed, listened to her mother's soft voice singing her favourite lullaby. Her mind seeped into the soothing song and slowly drifted to sleep.
A conscious sleep, where Cassie would be gazing at a well known story unfolding, but little did she know the consequences. As the enchanting sound came to an abrupt end, the window slammed open making way for the icy cold to pierce through. Her mother looked up in alarm to the change of temperature and rushed over to close the window. As soon as window was closed, an unnerving noise broke out downstairs. Cassie terrifyingly glanced up at her mother, with her eyes becoming slightly bigger and her pupils increasing. The sound of a door creaking coupled with the primary sound. Her mother scurried out of the room leaving Cassie highly distressed. Her face formed a confused scowl.
Tick Tock...
... 10
....20....
... 30 dragged-out minutes ticked by, with each minute leaving Cassie more anxious not to mention probing. The creepy silence irritated Cassie, persuading her to get up. Cassie promptly leaped of her bed and slowly crept down the beige laminated stairs. She made way inside the massive living room with the familiar figurative symbol greeting her entrance. The absence of her mother resulted in Cassie's uneasiness. The atmosphere swiftly altered into an uncertain mood which Cassie picked up on. It took her a while to detect it was due to the front door ajar. This freezing wind continued to scurry in whilst Cassie approached the front door. Her petite hand clamped the door handle swiftly widening the gap. She stepped outside in bare feet, hugging her arms to her tanned body to embrace the warmth. The cold wind ferociously swirled in a circular motion sweeping along the fallen auburn leaves.
Suddenly, an enticingly glistening bright light flared up in the sky dissolving in the dark midst that lay above branded as clouds. Her eyes shot up in alarm but slightly calmed at the sight of the exquisite beauty. The sound of her mother's muffled cry grasped her attention away from the mesmerizing scene and steered it towards the gloomy woods. Her eyes were focused on the ominous forest whilst she hurriedly paced towards it, increasingly emerging more frantic with each swift movement.
Abruptly she came to a halt.
A piercing sound escaped into the sinister cold air soaring around. Before Cassie was a tremendously tanned man with gleaming long auburn pushed back. His features radiated the essence of perfected beauty, with bronzed skin and emerald eyes. He had one hand pinning her mother's throat while the other traced her arm until he entwined his fingers with hers. He locked eyes with her and whispered into her ear.
"I-am spus c voi fi sa te gaseasca, comoara mea."
"I told you I'll be back for you."
Her forehead creased whilst her eyes bulged, filled with fury and vengeance. He hastily released their entwined fingers and placed his hand on her heart. Within the blink of an eye, her mother disappeared into thin air yet a cloudy figure circled the air where she had been. After a few second it disintegrated and a tiny box flew from the air and landed in the man's hands.
He seemed oblivious to Cassie's presence until now. He arched his head to the side and curled his lips.
"All hail the future of our kingdom, the reincarnated Aphrodite" A sneer escaping is crooked mouth
He clicked his fingers and once again the enchanting bright light shot up into the sky but this time, it elongated itself creating a wide gap. Suddenly, an intense strong force strode from the illuminating light and allured Cassie unwillingly. Her body struggled to no avail yet her mind was enthralled by the light.
Cassie disappeared into the light and the rest of the unknown clan including the peculiar man who trapped her mother in the box joined the light after her.

"Once the balance hath been broken, thy Malevolent Darkness shall again raise, to vigorously penetrate through delicate defenceless souls."
The withering hands let go of the elusive sheet. The being curled his lips to the side into a leering sneer. The prophecy had begun and this time the willing darkness would rise again.
