        In a small town on the edge of England, there lived a happily married couple, and they lived comfortably on the edge of town. And they remained that way for a long time. But one stormy night, something was most peculier. It was not dark, no it was as bright as day, yet thunder and lightning flashed. It illuminated a dark figure, in tattered robes. It raised it's head, but still could not be seen with the hood covering it's face.

        And it spoke in a raspy, rattling voice, the voice of the dying. "You..." it hissed. "You are the ones..." The creature opened its mouth wide, and it's voice seemed to draw from it, perhaps against it's own will.

        Four spirits roam the world,
Unseen, they swirled,
        Around they go, but soon their secret shall be no more
By your children, there'll be four.

        And with a final rattling hiss, it fell to the ground as dust, and all that was left was the old tattered robe.

<Author's note> Sorry for another short chapter. :) I really don't have much on my mind now, but next chapter should be at least 1k words? I hope so!
