A very big crowd surrounds the front of the academy's balcony. The headmistress is talking along with the head wizard.
"Everyone, settle down! We have an announcement to make."
The crowd suddenly stops talking and starts listening carefully to the headmistress.
"As we all know, our headwizard has the power to see beyond our present time. He has just seen the future and it is not... pleasant nor orderly. So now we made a new prophecy which we also know is about to happen. The prophecy will be written on the plaque below the statue of possibilities."
The crowd seems to be silenced. The silence quickly turned into conversations of shock. The head wizard and headmistress left the balcony and all of the people start moving towards the statue. The statue of possibilities.
The statue of possibility is a statue showing a globe. The globe looks like earth on one half while the other half seems to look like magic. The whole globe is surrounded by clouds. The statue is said to be more magical than normal magic. By that, it means that it has an extraordinary power. This power is to make a portal to another world. This world doesn't have magic. It's actually the normal world.
The people stopped moving and started to read the words written on the plaque. The words are different now. The words are:A child will be born to kill the darkness and prevail the light
The people are slightly moved backwards because of shock. There's a very confused silence. Then everybody starts asking questions. Questions about the boy and what kind of darkness the prophecy was talking about. The people started to cry and complain because of the fear of darkness in their future. Everybody did so except for one of them.
This person was wearing a brown coat. After reading the prophecy, he quickly ran towards the hill. He did not care what came in his way. He just ran and ran. He finally reached halfway to the topped of the hill when he whispered at a tree. The tree didn't respond but the ground did. The ground cracked and started raising. Now there is a big box-shaped structure made of soil. The unusual thing about the structure is that there is a door. A man-made door. The man quickly opened the door and got inside. After that, the ground was the same again. There were no marks that the soil has just raised. The man went down through an elevator of soil. He was finally below the ground in a place something like a secret base. There were nothing but dusty stuff and darkness. Then suddenly the torches lit up. The light revealed a pathway leading to a grand chair. A chair that looks like a throne. The odd thing about the chair is that it's black and it has carvings of snakes and dragons. It seems that it is owned by an evil or dark person. Smoke came out from the end of the path. The chair wasn't empty anymore. Someone was now sitting on the chair. This, "Someone" does not look ordinary. He's not like the other wizards. He has a deformed face. His face is like covered with wax. His eyes are buried deep in his face. He's... terrifying. The person started talking
"So what is new in the world above, my loyal messenger"
The man in black robe came near his so-called, "master" and answered his question.
"Master, there is a new prophecy"
His master stood up and came near him and replied desperately.
"Well then tell me!"
His master was now raising his voice in anger. The man in black robe was now terrified. He told his master about the prophecy and then ran away. His master sat down again on his chair and started thinking
"This prophecy might be stating my death. I must find this child and kill him myself!"
