( point of view jacks mom)
I had heard the news. If I had waited any longer me and my son would probably be dead. We always had a plan if something like this were to happen but now that it has it's all still so unreal. I was flying low to the ground trying to reach a point where at least the children would be safe. In one hand I held my small son jack- he was crying and it was killing me to see him this way. The other was Damien he was a few more months older than jack and was the key if order is ever to be restored to the underworld. As I passed a dimly lit street I noticed a few guardsman snooping around- I needed to act fast. My heart was pounding in my chest as I clutched the two little boys. Damien was silent I think he understood the severity of the situation no matter how confused or scared he was.
" where are we going?" He asked me.
" someplace a whole lot safer than with me and your mother. You will be staying with a nice older couple for... a long time...be good for them alright?"
" ok... when are you and mommy coming back?"
"That... is to be determined.."
Damien kept quiet afterwards- we were starting to enter the outer edge of the city- the place where they put the hybrids, criminals,poor, and disabled.the reason being that when demons do attack the edge of the city is the only place they'd be able to reach before the guardsmen could kill them- although it still felt very unfair it was the system their" king" had put in place. in the distance i could see our destination. It was a small house that was owned by an old couple.the woman (i didnt know her name) was a kind shardwing and the man, nautilus,was a little more strict,and could very easily be the last archangel living in the city with any kind of seadweller decent. he was a hybrid between a windwing and a seadweller and had been relocated here after the seadwellers were defeated. It still hurt my heart to think of what became of my closest freinds during the great tribal war. I quietly knocked on their door. the woman answered
"come in come in its dangerous to be out there!"
"thank you- i don't plan on staying too long" she took me to the kitchen where nautilus greeted me.
" i hope you aren't too exhausted- from what ive heard you have a long flight ahead of you"
"as do you with raising these boys- i hope they can be happy growing up here"
"we will manage and have them grow up to be strong gentlemen i'm sure of it- now may we meet them?"
"of course- this here is my son Jack- he's the youngest of the two... i trust you to take good care of my boy and this one... " i handed jack to nautilus and let a sleepy Damien down on the floor
"this is Damien... the solution to all our problems, and the savior for this world"
