Chapter One
The night air was crisp, as was the ground under Seth's footsteps. Fall had finally made its entrance. The trees had let go of their leaves, as if they knew they were no longer needed for beauty.
Seth loved this time of year, it was one of the few times his footsteps made a sound as he walked,and tonight he purposely let his feet touch ground, just so he could hear the leaves crackle under his steps.
His mind was in turmoil, he had to get this figured out, but he could not grasp the reasoning. He ran his fingers through his long golden hair, what was it? There is always a purpose, ALWAYS! Why was this one kept from him?
He continued to walk slow, he willed his mind to match his footsteps. But his mind wouldn't slow to the pace.
How could he exist with out his charge? This child that was given to him to protect from the moment he entered his mothers womb. Seth had steadfastly guarded Christian, who now celebrated his 10th birthday. He loved this boy with everything that was in him. Christian with his soft, brown curly hair and eyes that matched. His boy had a way of melting your heart by just being in the same room with him. He also knew that Christian was different then other children his age. But that was something Seth kept to himself. he shut his eyes tight, and could not control the tears that trickled down his face.
Seth did not see the scrawny black arm with long, pointed finger nails, strike out and make him fall to the ground. As he laid in a heap, The creature crawled away with a sneer, leaving a sulfuric mist in the air.
He just stayed there, there was no energy left to get up, nor was there a will. All he could feel right now was a sadness so deep, that it cut to his soul. Only one other time had he felt this way and that was thousands of years ago. The feeling of helplessness was not something Seth was used to.
The park was full of tree's, it gave a feeling of being in the forest and not in the center of a city. It was full of small animals, and it was Christian's favorite place to be. He loved feeding the squirrels and chipmunks.
"Stop it!", Seth screamed in his mind, trying to keep the memories from surfacing. This is not going to get you answers.
Aronn floated just barely at the top of the tree line, just enough to keep hidden. His massive wings tucked in, so their light would not give away his presence. The darkness of night helped to shroud his large form.
His green eyes stood out against his black hair. He was unaware of his beauty, but not his strength.
He wrapped his cloak tighter around himself as he watched Seth, he was trying to understand the emotions that Seth was emanating. It confused him. Where was Seth's strength? He looked pitiful just laying there! It filled him with disgust.
Aronn also saw the creature following Seth, It would take but a blink of an eye to end its disgusting existence, but he could not draw his sword to send it back to the depths. If he did, it would give away his presence. And that small of a demon was not worth showing himself. Not yet anyway.
He stayed where he was for what seemed like eternity , not moving even an inch, observing the entire park. His job right now was to keep an eye on Seth. He would rather be anywhere but here. His passion was going into battle, that is what he was designed to do, not being a babysitter for a guardian, and a pathetic one at that. But he would stay, and follow orders.
Seth was still just lying there, the only thing that moved was his robe in the wind. Aronn was getting extremely annoyed by this, when suddenly something else moved in the dark. it was about 10 feet from the tree Aronn was above. He knew it wasn't one of his kind by the way it crawled along the edges of the bushes. It was larger then the one that had been trailing Seth earlier,much larger. Why would they be interested in Seth? This didn't make sense, one this size didn't waste their time on anything but countries and nations. Not parks, and definitely not guardians.
Aronn drew his sword, something didn't feel right. Does he stay in place, or show himself. He was told to protect Seth but to do it without being seen. His skin crawled as the creature got right beneath him, it didn't look up, its red eyes were only on Seth. It watched him silently, unaware that it had been seen. Its mouth spread in an uneven grin.
