short story prologue
“Too what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?” He asked melancholy with the notion of her visit.
“Why, to simply to deliver a message my dear.” She said with an almost dismayed tone.
“Well, deliver the message you so desperately need to relay.” He responded
“The message is this,” She held a small slip of paper, “The monsters have awoken, meet at pre-determined safe house, come alone, trust no one, protect the beacon at all const. -2 “
“My God are you certain!?” His tone rising with every word.
“Indeed 7, I am sure he is certain… 9 and 5 have gone missing, but their last report was…-”
“Was what, Was WHAT!??”
“Was that they had found the umbra mundi”
“GOD DA-!” There was a loud crash and a scream could be heard from down the hall,but was stopped as soon as it had been heard. The floor began to shake and a joyous laugh echoed into the room.
“You go sir, I’ll hold him off until my last breath,”She whispered under her breath only loud enough for 7 to hear her.
“B, I can’t allow that to happen, he is too powerful for you to handle alone,” He responded.
