To Protect What's Precious

Prologue

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Three figures stood in the center of a room, candles lining a pentagram painted on the floor. The man with long silver hair spoke again.

"Messing with magic this powerful never has good results." He said as he absentmindedly fingered the eye patch over his left eye, hidden behind his hair.

"It is necessary." Spoke an Egyptian woman. "An evil force is targeting the Key. We must keep it safe." From within the folds of her robe the woman withdrew a small crystal bottle.

The bottle barely fit in her hand and was decorated with several multi-colored gemstones. The woman removed the ruby top to the bottle and gently coaxed what was inside out, onto her hand.

It appeared, at first, to be liquid moonlight, surrounded by cloudlike glass, and shone as though a small star was in the center. A gentle swirl of green energy, somewhere between liquid and gas, settled in the bronzed hand. Gently, she set the Key in the center of the pentagram.

"I still don't like leaving the Key vulnerable like this…" The silver-haired man spoke again, glancing at the delicate force before them, "it should be protected."

"And so it shall." The last figure spoke at last. The glow revealed a somewhat large, balding man with a grey beard and eyes. He looked up at the others. "It shall be sent to one of the few people I trust with something so precious. Jaden Yuki."

The woman looked skeptical, but time was running short. The Key must be hidden before the evil showed up to take it.

There was a flash of light and all the candles in the room were extinguished as the spell began. The Key swirled faster and rose higher as the three figures continued chanting. Its green light shone brighter as it began to stretch and twist into a new shape.

Then, just as the shine became too brilliant to watch, it was gone, and the room was coated in darkness.

Hundreds of miles away, a pair of clear green eyes opened for the first time.

To Be Continued…

Yeah, it's short. But it's just the prologue. And I'm not too good at mystery/suspense but I'll learn!

Any criticism and/or critique is welcome!
