The majestic sunset was above her head and the sound of the sea waves crashed against the shore. Seagulls were squawking in the air and the sky was on fire, a mixed shade of reds, oranges, and yellows. The sun, a burning orb, gently sinking into the water. The sea water refracted the color of the fiery sun and the wind blew her hair and whispered in her ears.She sat on the sandy ground and opened the book, "Here goes nothing."

Although the book was old it has a lot of pages and she checked the index of the chapters. As her eyes carefully observed the chapters' titles, one particular chapter caught her focused eyes.
ExTrAoRdInArIly RARE 1945
Mutare Stabit
An unfathomable soul that was cursed with the curse of oblivion. He can't be seen, he can't be heard, he can't be smelled, he can't be touched and he came as a green light that shall explode in the dark sky. Should anyone summon him in any circumstances and succeed, then the caster's soul will be taken into the afterlife and shall never return to the mortal world. No one knows his history but some people said he was the only descendant of the RARE. A family that was once conquered the most powerful kingdom in the Exitium Era. Some even said there was someone who saw and succeeded to summon him. But no one ever lived to tell the story.
He came as a green light that shall explode in the dark sky...
That explained that last night occurrence! Mutare Stabit? I must tell Stacy and Carrie about this! The dark sky was steadily taking over the burning sky and the strong whistling wind urged me to go home as if it's giving me a warning. I quickly stand up straight and walked to my house.
As the streets of Blackpool became dark, the streetlights were turned on and strangers were walking faster while passing her. An old lady clad in a black dress with a striking white hair that was smooth as snow appeared in front of her. Their footsteps were clicking on the ground and both of them simultaneously stopped.
"My... oh my..." She smiled a genuine smile. Her eyes were glowing with the hue of a faithful sea.
"Errm... can I help you?... Are you lost?" I stuttered, with my eyes wide-opened, astonished and bewildered by the beauty that was standing and smiling in front of me.
"It's not safe for a young girl to roam around at night. Do you saw what happened yesterday? He is coming for a peace that he waited for such a long time."
"Who is he? Are you talking about...Mutare Stabit?"
"Before you go home, I want to give you something. A blessing." She kissed me on my forehead and whispered in my ears, "When the bell rings, the sun and the moon will disappear. Get out before the stars came upon you."
"Grand..ma. Wait..." I hold her hand and she gently let go of my hands.
"I don't want to ruin the surprise, my dear. Goodbye." And she walked into the hectic mass of people, abandoning her baffled face.

The Blackpool's library was quiet and the lights were turned on. Carrie was sitting in front of Mrs. Jetty and the sunset shone on the windows. The air conditioner luckily kept them cold and comfortable.
"Where were you?! It's almost 7:00 p.m.!"Mrs. Jetty rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Jetty. But I'm ready to tell you what I saw yesterday."
"I'm all ears. Come on."
Carrie then started to talk, "Harry... was...kidnapped."
Mrs. Jetty gasped and said, "I knew it! I knew he was kidnapped!"
