"It's so beautiful." Says a woman.

"It really is." Says a man standing next to her.

In the woman's hands is a baby boy. The parents coo at it as it starts moving. The baby opens its eyes and looks up at both its parents. Suddenly a strong force pushes the father back and hitting the wall.

"What the hell was that?" Asks the man.

"Gerardo don't say that!" Scolds the woman.

"I'm sorry, Lea. But what was that?" Asks Gerardo.

"I think I know what it is. It's the myth about the darkness, it's here." Lea says.

"But aren't there supposed to be seven children?" Asks Gerardo.

"Yes, and I know where they all are. We have to go find them before the king comes to kill them." Lea says getting up.

"Lea sit down you just gave birth." Gerardo says getting up and walking to her.

"No we have to leave if the countries find out about the seven children they'll kill them all. Then how are we supposed to save the world. My mom warned me of this but I never listened." Lea scolds herself.

"If we have to then we will." Says Gerardo.

He starts to go around the room and collecting stuff and putting them in a satchel he found.

"We have to go then." Says Gerardo.

Lea grabs blanket and ties it around herself creating a little pouch to put the baby in. They cover themselves and then quickly the small house. They walk through the streets, Lea leading the way.

They reach a small house and enter without knocking. Lea leads them through the place to another door and knocks two times.

"Who is it?" Asks a voice.

"It's me Lea." She says.

Some noises are heard and then the door opens. They are quickly rushed inside and the door shuts behind them.

"Is it?" Asks a woman.

"Yes. The last child." Lea says.

"We have to send them away." Speaks another woman.

"But where?" Asks Lea.

"To the unknown Asian land." Says another one.

"But the thing is only one adult can go with them." Says a man.

"One! But none of them are a year old." Says Gerardo.

"I'm order to protect them we must stay hidden. Only one person can go with them. The rest stay and face what happens." Says another man.

"But who's going?" Asks Lea.

Everyone stays silent as they contemplate their choices.

"I will." Says a woman.

"Tyra no your the youngest one here." Denies one of the other women.

"Which is exactly why I should go. I can easily take care of them. I have to do this." Says Tyra.

"We don't really have a choice. They must get going. Take all the books and scriptures with you, keep them safe and tell all of them of what the future holds. Tell them to keep their family going, we can't let the world end. One day the right children will come and they will save the world." Says another lady.

"So then what are all the names?" Asks Lea.

"Yoon Tiahan." Says one of the other women.

"Kwon Sooyoung." Says one.

"Jeon Mimwoo." Says another.

"Lee Jimin." Says Tyra.

"Xu Zhenhao." Says another lady.

"Boo Sookwan." Says a lady holding a little girl.

"What's his name?" Asks Zhenhao's mom.

"Kim Soljin." Lea says smiling down at her little boy.

"Isn't that like a boys name?" Asks Mimwoo's mom.

"Of course not, it can be for a boy." Lea denies. "But we have to get going now."

"Yes, I have a connection waiting for you and the kids." Says a lady turning to Tyra.

"But how will I carry them all?" She asks.

"We'll be going with you to make sure you get there safe." Says Sooyoung's mom.

"The we better get going." Tyra says.

<

The birth of the first seven was a miracle to the family's but a curse to the world. They didn't believe in such demons so they sought to kill them. They believed the children were demons themselves, sent to destroy the world. But who knows maybe they were right.

The births, names, dates, stories, and children have been recorded for the past six centuries. They've been hidden from the world, fearing they would be killed. Although one time one did die. That's what led them to be even more careful.a

Not until the 20th century did they know, that the world was coming to an end and it was coming.
