Part one – Destiny awakes
Prologue
I have been writing on this story for nearly a year now; that means that my art of writing has changed at lot, which I think is very confusing. Therefor I have decided to repost every chapter, written so the story "flows" a little bit more. Don't worry I won't change the plot or anything important!
I hope you will continue to follow this story.
Big thanks to my beta BlackBandit for the wonderful help :)

Night had come, and the only light to be seen was the full moon, who bathed the world in its silver glow.
Four riders were galloping through the forest at a dangerous speed. They didn't have the time to slow down, and had to trust the path and the moonlight to guide them in the right direction. The time given for the task had nearly run out.
They were late.
They looked like moving shadows, and their hooded cloaks fluttering behind them were their coal black wings. Their horses looked like grey ghosts, seemingly flying over the forest floor. The only thing that could give them away was the constant sound of their hooves hitting the ground and a small flash of red. It belonged to a fifth person who was slung over the first man's horse.
He was clearly unconscious.
They continued until they finally reached the end, and the riders broke through the forest. The land was nearly even, only a few bushes standing around, clinging to the earth for dire life in the cold biting wind. To the right, the sea continued endlessly towards the horizon, fading away in the black sky. Towering on a cliff by the shore stood a big castle, as sharp and dark grey as the rocks it stood on.
The riders followed the only path leading towards it, riding dangerously close to the edge of the cliff.
The waves were pressing against the rocks, willing the foundation under the castle to crumble and the walls to fall to be swallowed by the water. The waves crashed against them harder and louder, their play-fight with each other getting wilder and more fiercely every second.
A storm was coming.
