Prologue

The night was dark; stars twinkling like lights. The cool breeze was flowing in the air. Snow was falling from the sky hitting the ground softly, making everything look white. The full moon was showing, clouds trying to cover the moonlight like bedsheets. Silence made the dark night perfect, peaceful and beautiful. The colourful leaves blown away by the wind had the trees look bare and lonely; each of its branches twisted. Small flowers were all closed up as if they were sleeping. The before warm muddy ground had once again become cold hard with icy cracks. Nothing could disturb the natural world as it comes and goes silently and flawlessly as the sun would rise and set.

Natural is a simple word with a powerful meaning. Natural as if science is the root and base where no living creature would have any purpose or explanation without it. Natural; a perfect sequence of life that wouldn’t be disturbed by those against science; the complex yet simple explanation of the world.

Yet was it? Scientists have all the answers to the human body, of what can happen if a single molecule would go out of place and what the effect could be. They would have the answers to geographical problems, the earth’s movements and the soil to what could become of it. They could even wave away religious meanings and artefacts, saying that they were only imaginations of eccentric, radical and a confused mind. But they were all very wrong and deceived by their own lies.

As a young girl, I discovered that there were endless possibilities of what the world had to offer; of what purpose the universe has been bestowed upon. I came to realise that religion all along were guidelines; they were giving us sign and we didn’t know about it because we didn’t truly read deeply into their meaning and understanding. Because of our own ignorant ways we lose the people we love in a blink of an eye.

I have seen things that only children would wake up screaming about. There is another world, a holy world; a purpose made before time itself. There were beings and creatures that humans only meet when they die and depart from their bodies, some for better and some for worse. I was entrusted with these secrets and it is my burden to bear. The shock of the real truth has made my body numb with coldness. But still, to share the pain would lessen the pain. There is a story where probably religious leaders would ban you from reading this tale, but you must find out. Feeling rebellious I wish to whisper the forbidden secrets in your ear while you sleep and warn you in your dreams: You are being watched always.

Angels are always with you and so are devils. There is rhyme and there is reason. There are evil deeds that can be promised from not only the devil but other creatures as well. Humanity has a worst enemy and that is Death himself. Yes I knew your reaction would be incredulous but death has a body and it had a purpose. I had met death and my journey hadn’t been the comforting at sorts. What did you think? Heroes lead perfect lives; they have every joy and comfort what the world had to offer? No, the most sufferable are the heroes; they feel more pain than the rest of the world. They give up everything for the joy and safety of others.

Like me. I had given up my very existence to save humanity and most importantly my family. I met with Death face to face and fought him to restore order to the unspeakable laws. I had travelled through different dimensions and made deals with different creatures. I have seen things that no human would even see in their dreams. This terrible quest that I have succeeded so difficulty had been rewarded to me terribly

Oh, I see it in your eyes! You are curious, your mind has a thousand questions for me and I have the answers. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? Very well, it began on a very hot summer’s night. A young girl lay silently on her bed, asleep and dreaming no ordinary dream.
