                                        The Eternal One

                                              Chapter 1

    In a forest next to a frontier village exists something like a rock however, only its shape resembles that of a rock its coloring is another. It is primarily Black in color with Dark Blood red accents almost as if countless people have been continuously sacrificed atop of it and left hanging as to allow the stone to slowly drink in every last drop of the victim’s blood, however if only it were just that for as you drew closer you could hear it “ba-dump” “ba-dump” the sounds of a beating heart. How long this thing existed in this forest no one knows, but many Scholars and Researchers have said it is well over 10,000 years old, due to the countless ancient bones weapons and armor that surround this rock evidence of countless attempts to move the rock to another location. Attempts that have only lead those attempting to their deaths.

When anyone approaches the rock they are given one and ONLY one warning should that warning go unheeded and continue to approach the rock, death is the only outcome for the unfortunate soul, however everything is about to change both for the rock and for the world. While no one yet knows about it the entire future of this world and all others rests in the hands of one person and that person’s name is….

“Hey! Mongrel! Whats taking you so long!

No, that is not it. Her name is Lily she is a young girl just turned 5 years old, but she is barely the size of a 3 year old tattered clothes very sickly barely able to walk on her own. Her own cousin was currently leading her into the forest with the large rock.

~gasps for air~ “I…am…coming…Henry...”(Lily)

“Hey do you have to be so mean to her?” (???)

“Whats it to you not like she’ll do anything about it and it isn’t like anyone in town really cares either. You heard the Elders and other she completely useless someone who should be disposed of but no one has the guts to actually do it.”(Henry)

The other guy raise a voice of defense for the girl but he soon backed off knowing that what Henry said was true. No one cared for the young girl the young girl was weak frail was always suffering from some kind of sickness.

“Jeff, Besides the everyone decided next time she gets sick no one is allowed to help her. Basically everyone is just waiting for her to die. ” (Henry)

“Is that really true?!”(Jeff)

“Hey, quiet don’t let her hear you. Besides I don’t see why you are getting so upset about it she’s just a useless little brat. Well was a useless brat I found out a way she can useful…” (Henry)

As henry spoke he had a sinister smile on his face as he looked ahead in the direction of where they are headed.

“Really, but how? I mean if she can be useful doesn’t that mean she’d have a reason to live? “(Jeff)

No sooner that he said that Henry coldly stared at Jeff and flatly said.

“Idiot, I don’t plan to help her to live I plan to help me live and live richly with power and money.”(Henry)

Jeff’s face went pale at the words Henry had spoken especially when he realized where they were headed.

In a shaken voice he asked Henry what he meant not really wanting to know the answer…

“Hmm…What do you I am going to sacrifice her to that rock I heard if you do that you can get lucky with money and power. The one I heard from said “if you sacrifice a pure young maiden pure in mind body and soul, the purer she is the better.” She is as pure as they get hahaha…”(Henry)

Jeff at this point couldn’t believe what he had just heard his friend was planning to kill a person not just anyone but a little kid! Just as he had come back to his senses it was too late to turn back they were already at the rock he quickly tried to get Henry to reconsider.

*SMACK* “What do you mean reconsider? Either you’re with me or you’re against me! Mongrel, now do what I tell you to do go up to that rock and touch it or we’ll just leave you here to be snack for the wolves!” (Henry)

Upon hearing this Lily understood what that meant she wasn’t stupid she was well aware what happens to people who touch the black and red rock because her parents were forced to work for the new lord to move it and ultimately died along with everyone else including the lord of the land.

She should extremely afraid because she knew she had been lead here to die, but for some reason she felt at peace. She felt a warm sensation enveloping her entire body. Thinking it might be her parents that had come for on the other side she looked towards the rock and a big and bright smile appeared on her face as she faces it and then began to move quickly towards the rock.

Henry during this had an evil smile on his face and began laughing. Then suddenly as Lily drew closer the rock began to react. A Spider web like lightening extended outward quickly and engulfed girl loudly crackling and buzzing about.

As everything was unfolding Henry was laughing and clapping his hands.

“That’s right, that’s right! Run to your death and become the stepping stone for my rise to power! ~Kakaka~ (Henry)

Meanwhile Jeff couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him. Right now a little girl just threw herself into the jaws of death and his best friend is the one who responsible for it.

*BOOM!*

Suddenly a loud and powerful blast ripped through the area knocking both boys over on they’re backs. As they sat up with a dazed expression a look of dumb foundedness was shared as they saw in front of themselves a large creature lying on its side coiled around something and was staring intently at whatever was at the center, however that is not what they were focused entire on. What they were focused on was where it and the very coloring of this and the fact that this creature resemble a very rare and powerful.

“A DRAGON! It is a dragon! ~Kakakaka~ I managed to awaken a dragon ~kakaka~hahaha~ with this dragon I’ll be the most powerful person around! Dragon! Come over here and let your new mater have a look at you!” (Henry)

The dragon turned it gazed from the center and stared at Henry. It started to move as heed Henry’s orders Jeff could only stare as all the color in his body disappeared and collapsed with his head in his hands unable to move.
