It watched, hovering as a near invisible cloud over the stratosphere, looking down with god like impunity as the actions of the world played out below its gaze. As it watched the sun lower itself from its position above its head it felt the rays of light as they spread there warmth, It was to high up for anything to obscure the sun and was almost bathing in the light. It watched the entirety of the old world from London to Shanghai,from Baghdad to Irkutsk, all was below It.

Letting its conscious fall, it let itself spread ever inwards and down wards as it dropped unseen, unheard and undetectable towards its chosen target. Lowering itself more it began to feel the effects of the cloud and wind as it passed through them and the air grew thicker until it felt almost liquid. More effort was now required as it drove downwards and concentrated itself from near godlike omnipresence over the upper atmosphere until it's consciousness fell to a sphere a few kilometres wide as it reduced its size and shape to take in the ever increasing complexity of the lower world.

Feeling the change in air pressure that for humans would be a undetectably faint sound, it honed in on its target, knowing now where it's active view should lay. As it passed through the final layer of cloud it's view fell upon a small city. A bright centre of five gleaming skyscrapers hugged a river whilst to the south across the water lay a sprawl of housing with older buildings directly across from the skyscrapers forming the old heart of the city protected by a now defunct rib cage of ancient stone walls. To the north of the city lay a district of smoke belching factories and power stations as they spewed dark clouds into the air, to the east and west housing and business mixed inseparable from each other. From the north ran a railway splitting the city down the middle with a small station in the north. Many bridges breached the small river witch split the north from the south.

To the north of the city lay a vast swamp from which the river drew itself, the swamp was slowly being filled as clouds dropped their liquid burden down. To the Far East lay the coastline for the Caspian Sea to which all the water of the local rivers and swamps slowly flowed. To the south a few kilometres distant lay the cold green hills while even further on over those hills the earth rose to form mountains who's peaks were crowned with glowing white snow visible in the skyline even from the city.

Feeling again the smack of air that came from below, it watched as bright spots of gold flashed across the sky line, from flowers of smoke and metal they flew, ever onwards towards the city. Watching as they spread across the sky it knew where they would land even as he saw more of them being fired.

Watching as the bolts of metal flew he saw where some had already landed striking buildings and homes, it was these first shots that had dislodged it from its gaze above the earth like a owl spotting a mouse. It saw that from the height of the hills as a tide of black and blue and green vehicles swept down from the crest of the hill sweeping into the city from the south.

As one of the shells fired struck a building it watched as brick caved in slowly beneath its gaze and the shell zipped through a dozen houses moving with the speed of a penny dropped in honey through the air, under its vast sight and power, all was slow.

It felt the force of air that tore through the rooms, some with panicked inhabitants still within. It saw as it lowered itself to the level of the city that the bricks and air pressure whipped through the rooms striking flesh indiscriminately and causing buildings to shatter and collapse.

Before it's gaze it watched as men fled from there homes unsure of what direction to run but most heading north knowing what it was that had come to visit there city like a angel of death, as a bringer of destruction and pain.

The Dobroye nochi was upon there city and they new that death would take many of them if they were not saved by military force soon.

Some of them ran south to where the jeeps and tanks swept into the city from the south road bowing there heads bodies on the ground as men split off from the main forces to take those who had willingly surrendered.

Those who ran from the men who entered with shellfire as there entrance note were shot as they fled. You hid, surrendered or died as these men of death poured into the city.

Watching as cars fled along the north road out of the city it noticed that the traffic was being stopped by a swarm of people who blocked the roads and tried to grab onto any vehicle that they could.

Watching from the sky it saw two other forces appear from the west and east above the river surrounding the city, as he watched they swept north around the swamp to the other side cutting off the fleeing refuges as they tried to make there way though the only road north out of the city.

It knew from watching this area for months now just how cunning the forces of Justivias could be when it came to capturing people unaware. He would have deliberately timed it so that his men would funnel people north out of the city to be caught without the trouble of city fighting.

As the city was invaded he noticed more and more resistance from the city people who had not already surrendered as they bunkered down in houses to take shots with weapons out at those who stalked the streets. Resistance became particularly fierce around the old city where the police where concentrated and handing out weapons to those who came to them.

As the jeeps felt the sting of bullets against there metal groups of terrified men where shooed out of the backs of the cars before being sent into the houses. There were two distinct groups of men in Justivias army. His forces seemed to be split between well armed and armoured sergeants who sat back and directed the sweeping of the houses and poorly armed ,some without anything more than pistols, grunts who were sent into the firefights to die.

It knew that resistance would fall as always from the city as it was only by such bloody and wasteful assaults like this that Justivias split the lucky from the unlucky and he used his newer recruits to swamp out the city.

It was not for nothing that his army had grown tenfold under the last three months as he swept north taking cities quickly for the people in them not for any real territorial gains. Secure in the mountains and hills with his anti air and missile weapons he taunted the desperate Russian government with easy targets only to send out videos of destroyed children and women. Each death of a soldier he experienced he repaid tenfold on the Russians.

It knew that was such an unnatural growth in strength that it had taken an interest in the events of the world below. It knew that there was something wrong with the minds of the men who lead Justivia's army and they seemed almost possessed by there fervour to carry out his words.

It had stared into the minds of men and it knew what was unnatural and this was.

...

Staring at the trees of the jungle it watched in amazement as they reached out towards the sun growing before his very eyes.

It had come to the jungles of the new world some weeks previously as it had felt the flow of magic upset as like dirt round a storm drain magic had circled the amazon rainforest before being sucked in. This had lead to it viewing the entire Brazilian area trying to decide what was causing the phenomenon.

Hovering over the vast landscape of the southern landscape it had turned to sight as it means of locating where this excess magic was coming from. Over the plains of Brazil it had seen the grey and lifeless fields of fruit and vegetables that so many on this continent relied upon for food.

Flying over a field of limp radishes it had sent its conscious into the ground only to be shocked at what it had seen. Underneath the fields it had found a glistening pathway of good magic which was flowing towards the forest. It had watched as life energy was sucked out of the plants and underground where it merged like rivers only to flow towards the edge of the forest where it resurfaced and seemed to bring to life the trees as they grew more rapidly than any natural plant.

The magic seemed to act like a hyper fertiliser for the plants causing them to grow like crazy until the magic moved on. In the last few weeks it had watched as the forests had advanced 17 kilometres around average from where they had been.

At first it had thought little for the magic until it had realised that as the rainforest sucked in all the good chi for hundreds of miles the plants of the farms and plants in the cities were dying without there own natural energy. Quickly it's thoughts had advanced as it had decided that soon the farmers would starve as there crops refused to ripen and the soil became unusable to all but the forest.

It had watched many famines before and it knew that if the magic did not stop soon then their would be another one, this country was far too reliant on subsistence farming for the population to be able to survive unscathed a failing of the crops and it was sure even now if it cared to look that the prices of food would be increasing as people speculated on the bad growing season that had happened so far.

It had also watched with interest to what the trees did to humans that it found on the edge of its borders where the magic was concentrated. He routes seemed to gain a life of their own as instead of growing at centimetres a mini ute they twisted and changed in seconds wrapping their roots and branches around those with strong emotions, only those who were asleep or able to keep calm seemed immune as those without strong emotions quickly gained them as the trees tore at those around them.

It watched with particular enjoyment as a illegal band of loggers deep in the forest had been destroyed by the shifting trees as they tore down equipment and men restoring the forest to pristine condition that a century of abandonment by humans would not have been as effective at doing.

Still people were dying by magical means beyond Its understanding and it wished for the interference with the non magical world to stop.

...

Finally it's eyes disappeared from its check up of the forest to wander with ever increasing speed westwards over the forest, mountains, desert, coast and the sea which stretched blue and green before it near endlessly as it crossed the expanse of water that divides continents. Eventually It's view of ocean was broken by smattering of Islands that flew underneath It as It neared Its destination.

Just north west of hong kong it flew over Shendus palace as it continued on its way, noting how relatively close the palace was to the final magic problem which plagued this world rested.

Stopping a few kilometres in the air it gazed down at the green green hills of the large valley which was separated from the rest of the world by high mountain peaks and only accessible to a human by one small road.

Glowing to its magical sight like bright city nights in the dark it saw the unrestrained magic glowing from the people of the valley. Each of them had a seed of green light within there chest when seen in a magical light and these green lights paled to the flood light of energy and magic that came from 35 individuals who it had managed to isolate and contain on a previous visit to see what was affecting its magical sight so badly.

Each and every one of the nearly 2000 people within the valley carried the light and by tracing its way backwards it had managed to find 35 individuals who were responsible for passing on the magic within them. Each of those individuals had a curse witch caused the skin to turn green and scaly like a lizard and the eyes to turn yellow whilst the fingers grew talons from there fingernails. As it had watched the curse spread it had gathered its energy and bathed the village in itself whilst changing the curse enough to stop it from becoming a epidemic new disease.

It had seen things like this appear in the time of demons when lonely for those who were loyal to them or at least looked like them they had spread curses of transformation over the population of their cities. They normally infected a few dozen people who, relatively loyal to the demons, were given new bodies as 'rewards' for there service. They and their descendants had been hunted down and banished after the end of the demon age as traitors to humanity.

That was where the similarities ended though as is curse spread like a disease and drew its power from the humans it infected rather than the demon who cast the curse. Also Shendu had never been near any of these people or there village , it was too strange.

It had worried about this as a attempt by Shendu or the demons to gain mortal followers but the disease did appear to create no loyalty or open links to Shendu so It had not pushed for a more drastic solution , yet.

Ever since the "death" of Shendu it had known that something like this would happen, magic and strong chi had been severely lessened over the centuries since Shendus original inprisonment in his statue form, without a strong bad chi force good chi had faded and so magic had passed into myth as the power was drained from the world.

It had watched as Shendu had regained his powers, died and tried to rise again only to fail once more. The stirring of bad chi had increased with each attempt and with it good chi had also increased in power. Despite the last millennia of magic draining from the world it was returning now quicker then he had ever feared it would.

With the loss of magic over the centuries It had found it a relatively peaceful world while mostly following his expectations and as a guardian of order he had found such a event beneficial

to his well being. Magic made the world too random and especially after so long without it this world was like the ground after going without rain for months , so hard that when it did rain there would be a flood, he expected the powers of magic to continue to amass for quite some time.

If It was allowed to.

...,,,..

As It watched the desease develop it finally decided that it was more important to maintain normality than it was to maintain Its independence from the world. It had already broken its oaths of neutrality by changing the curse enough so that it would not spread like he had feared.

It was the screaming that finally confirmed in its mind it must act as one women named Chunhua Leong woke to find her fingernails falling of to be replaced by talons only to to run to her child in its cot and see the boy also had lost his humanity, the farther had already fled their flat some days previously after he had started to turn 'dragon'.

It had watched with some interest as it had traced the disease back to find that this family was the only one composed entirely of members from the 35. All other people with the full curse seemed as completely independent of each other as you could get in a village this small.

Unsurprisingly some of those with the disease had started to turn to rather desperate measures to stop there skin disease and it was only a matter of time until... It stared into the future and was sure that if left to develop most of those with the disease would be dead by there own hand or others within a few years. It had seen how people responded to new diseases popping up in epidemic style, normally quarantine, isolation and fear until all those infectious died or were cured. It new that magic often took poorly to non magical forces fighting it. 'After all magic must defeat magic' It thought.

By tracing the magic back from hundreds of the two thousand who carried the disease It saw the magic was being sustained by the 35 who could still actually infect others. It suspected that there deaths would lead to the disease vanishing from the others but it was hard to be sure.

It turned away from the humans and started to make its way once more towards Its current goal. Flying high above china till It could read Asia like a map it made its way southwards ignoring the burning cold that would quickly have killed a thing of flesh or blood. Flying over jungle clogged islands and deep green seas it headed to the last continent where it's goal lay waiting. It was here far away from humans in the middle of a desert created to keep them away that it's goal lay. Thinking about the continuous expansion of the humans it decided Antarctica would be a better place for forbidden items.

As Its eye fell onto Australia where the Book Of Ages lay ; watching and recording, like It, the fate of the world. It spread up in its efforts to reach the book searching for the books location, flying over the bright landscape cast under the red sun he watched as the scenery changed from the beauty of the cost till the monotony of the dessert. Its view went ever closer to the book as it dragged its consciousness into the large cave in which the portal lay.

closing in to the portal it watched as the portal glimmered in a light invisible to man before it.

It tried to force Its view to enter the portal to the book only to be thrown back as soon as it tried to enter with a low rumble from the rock around the portal. It felt not pain from this expulsion as it had no ability to feel pain in this form but a mild sense of a annoyance as it had never before been unable to watch something.

It would need to concentrate into its mortal form to gain access to the book. Gathering Its essence from the area it began to form itself like a cloud, It gathered slowly around the cave to the portal it's form concentrating into a mist to condense into drops of pure It to form from the air and fall on the ground. The drops were a darker red then blood and slowly they flowed together like an ice sculpture melting in reverse to coalesce into a form like an extremely thin and tall human around three metres tall with long arms stretching down towards its knees.

It's legs appeared to be be jointed the wrong way at the knees and it's arms seemed twisted almost like its torso was one backwards with its arms appearing more useful behind its back, its upper limbs were best described as like a bat Skelton with the flesh only covering the bones leaving only a twisted impression of wings being missing.

Its face was its most unique feature with it having no nose and no hair only jet black eyes perched high on its head marked the front of its face whilst there were holes in the side of its face where its ears should be and on the back of its head Its skull was shaped into 5 ridges forming at a central point at the top rear of its skull. The shape of the skull was weirdly reminiscent of a flower bud before it bloomed.

Looking round with its eyes caused it to be stunned by the brightness of the day, its previous form not having to rely on biological weaknesses, it beat a quick retreat into the the cave. It moved by floating slightly of the ground and as it entered the shadow of the cave it reached out with a spidery hand to caress the walls seemingly enjoying the simple touch of the orange/red rocks.

As it drifted closer it heard wind whistling out of the hole in the world that was the portal, this worried it as the portal was meant to be closed to all but life also it worried him as the air was flowing out of the portal as if the pressure was just slightly higher that side of the portal. This was a problem as it meant the book of ages complex was creating air rather than just existing as it was meant too. Twisting its eyelids down to cover most of its orbs it approached the portal leaving only a sliver of its eyes open.

As it got closer to the portal it felt the pressure against it increase like the portal did not want It to enter! Forcing its limbs onto the ground it dragged itself against the increasing wind until it reached out to touch the portal.

Seeing Its hand go through the illusion It barrelled itself through the portal unto the realm be beyond.

whilst the process of traveling through the portal was for humans instantaneous it felt itself stretch as it's vision tunnelled before it and as it tried to move its limbs or see its vision stretched until like in a Star Wars film the world stretched to just as it seemed that it had been tricked it left the portal and felt the ground and air around it whispering across its skin once more.

Only to be once again blinded as the lit levels increased to beyond it tolerance. Reaching quickly it covered it's already closed eyes to further block out the light. After a few seconds it once again removed its hand from its face and opened its eyes a sliver to close them again as quickly, shortly though it could open its eyes enough to see by.

It watched the vision long lost to him as he saw the stone floor paving slabs he was on stretching away into the distance whilst pillars about as thick as a car cast from dark yellow stone rose away eternal. The sky was died red above but turned brighter and more yellow as he looked down from the sky turning almost white at the horizon. Looking around for the pedestal witch held the book he saw that the portal had dumped it so that it was facing away from the book. It was amused by this as never before had the book tried to hide itself.

Stepping around the portal back to the cave it floated over to where the book lay its blue and gold bound hide beautiful to look upon. It stopped as the colours bled into the air around it as the book turned red at Its approach.

'WHY FIGHT ME' it thought to Itself as the book whilst all powerful, having never before tried to restrict anyone from writing in it, was also only putting up a token resistance to its advances anyway. It knew that if the book truly wanted to do something it would be unable to stop the book, the books only current restrictions to what it could do were ones that It had managed to impose upon the book.

Approaching the pedestal it saw the massive book flip to where a number of pages had been ripped out. It seemed a tragedy to It even now that such a thing had been done to the book which kept record over all that happened.

'DO NOT WORRY, I AM NOT HERE TO TAKE MORE PAGES FROM YOU' thought It.

In response to its thoughts the book flipped to a new page as if understanding It meant The truth. The words that appeared on the page where painful for it to look upon and it quickly looked away reminded of things that it no longer wanted to remember.

As It stood over the book it heard the skittering of pens and pencils against parchment coming from within its pages. It also heard that worrying noise inside of its own chest as it heard the noise of words being written. Knowing that to take out its own parchment here would mean it would be absorbed by the book and once more he would be tied to this world, yet when ever new words were added there they foretold of great things. It doubted what to do until it saw the book trying to snap shut and grabbing the pages to keep them open It decided that enough was enough.

Looking for the pen he was enraged by the fact that the brush of eternity was gone from its resting place beside the book, this was untold of in history. Reaching out for one of its fingers it crushed its own finger end until it caused it to slowly leak darkest red blood.

Reaching out with shattered finger towards the book It wrote.

...,,,,...

A strongly muscled man stood in the front of a burning skyscraper, the most impressive in the city, watching as the flames reached through the floors. He imagined that he could here screaming and bullets but he knew there were no bullets, he had waited for their guns to fall silent before striding out to watch his last major obstacle burn, and as for the screams the fire and the noise from the city should stop him hearing any but still he thought they must be there somewhere. As he watched smoke cover the building and the glass shatter under the heat he wondered if the building would collapse or simple burn itself out.

Justivias had completely changed over the last few months turning from a bland yes man into a bold figure, his skin was losing its wrinkles and he looked like a thirty year old instead of someone approaching 50. The transformation was so distinct that he made a conscious effort to dress like he had used to so he would look more like he had before. He had found his paunch to retreat and his muscles had grown not freakishly large but as fat had run away he had gained a lovingly toned body.

He remembered back to when he had served as the kremlin appointed representative of the caucus regions he had been proud to represent his people. The speeches he had made explaining how forgiving the Russians were for them to appoint a man of his ethnicity to such a high standing, he smeared at his own past as he realised he had been put in charge as a weak poster-boy to showcase there new equality. His people had realised it too as they had turned against him, for too long he had put down his own for the benefit of Russians. He had 'been there slave in all that mattered' he thought.

He had felt his mind grow over the last few months and whilst it had frightened him more than his bodily transformation he felt so sharp now. Other people now seemed lesser men to him to be manipulated by words of support and comfort and forced to his banner by constantly reminding them of the fate that would await them if they faltered now, Russia was not a forgiving country and so he had pushed his men onwards and made it so they were no longer fighting just for there independence but for power over the entire southern Russian area. He knew how to push men and he had made the locals of areas he conquered just as loyal/ or as damned as his own men, the locals had the most to lose as he used them for the most unforgivable actions or they were killed. You would be surprised what a loyalty to a cause was built from offering death of them and their families or killing a few fellow prisoners on camera to prove there loyalty. The Russians themselves knew exactly who betrayed there nation as he had sent videos of the murders by those turncoats to further shackle them to his cause.

As he went round congratulating his men for a fight well won, he called each one by name and a few by nicknames. Than he saw to it that the collection of prisoners began immediately, smiling to himself, he saw to it they advanced there missile defence systems further to take advantage of the cities skyline. Making his way back to his jeep he made sure to write down a few notes for his next speech before entering the car and watching the four other identical versions of it split up and go their separate ways. Whilst he was no longer afraid of fighting with his men to build up his reputation he was most aware that he was likely to suffer from a assassins bullet or a road bomb if he was not careful.

He would need to speak to his men soon or they would begin to lose hope, there was just something about him that made people trust him now. He began to think about how to use the new prisoners, numbers where too high to feed for long and if by some accident a Large number of them should be found by the Russians unable to use their arms due to cut tendons they would only serve to reduce the resources of the enemy.

As his jeep sped away south wards to the relative safety of there anti missile net he thanked the Americans yet again in his head for there continued supply, without which he knew his men would have been bombed into oblivion by now. At least he assumed it was the Americans as the kit came with English on the parts with poor Russian translations on there use.

As he reached 20 km from the frontline he let himself relax and had his driver put on his tunes,

"everybody wants to rule the world" he sung out, as always as that lyric caught him as funny, after all even he knew that the hole world was out of his grasp, maybe in a decade or two but not likely he thought.

And so it was that he did not care as in the dying light of the day his car went into a thick fog. Slowing down so as not to crash with the lowered visibility the driver was only shocked as the fog poured into the car and by then it was to late for Justivias.

...

Chunhua's day ,whilst a terror in itself from her horrible problem of herself and her son, was beautiful as the sun rose over the mountains that surrounded her village the rays caught the bright green of the hills and the the world burst into bird song as the village rose to life.

It was beautiful but she knew it was artificial as this area had been put aside for preservation and so every year thousands of raised birds were released around there village, that was when they had there feast days nowadays as the birds would come to sit humans expecting to be fed only to be eaten in return.

The nature of there village also meant that a number of modern necessities weren't allowed as the government tried to keep them a century in the past as example of old sustainability. Every time they tried to get electricity lines in they were simply refused and there solar panels had to be removed when tours came by.

She had hidden in her second floor flat for the last few days hoping that her skin would settle down if she let but it was only getting worse and her poor son.

She needed to leave her house to go see the doctor at the small clinic that was run on the other side of the village, so leaving her house at dawn dressed to cover every inch of bare skin with a pair of her husband sunglasses to cover her eyes she had walked with her son covered like her to the clinic. Whilst she got some funny looks a few people said hello as she walked by causing her to panic each time before replying hello back and continuing on.

She managed to make it to the clinic without getting cornered by any curious friends, family or neighbours. And as she entered the safety of the building via the bright red circular doors she sighed in relief to herself before facing her final challenge, her own damn friend the receptionist.

"hi Chunhua, I didn't see your name on the list of people for today what's up?" Said Lin(receptionist)

"Oh nothing much I just have a well a big boil on my leg and I want it lynched " she knew she had to give away enough embarrassing info for Lin to be happy or she would pester her until she found out the truth. Lin was her own go to source on local news and if she found out about something sooner or latter everyone would.

" what's with use glasses and hat ?" Lin countered

"Listen Lin I would love to talk but I am in a rush today is the doctor alone" she said as she strolled towards his room.

"Well yes but it will have to be quick he has a appointment in a half hour" replied Lin her curiosity not at al sated.

"Good enough" muttered Chunhua as she walked into the doctors room.

As she entered she made sure to bolt the door behind her, not putting it past Lin to stroll in with a necessary note for something or other to get a look at her. In fact she thought this needed extra safety so she dragged a desk slightly across to partly cover the door.

seeing the doctor jump from his chair at her sudden and noisy appearance into his room he said "I am not used to women locking me in my own room, what! Is! the matter! with you! " His voice rose towards the end as he seemed annoyed with her.

as she dropped her mask and removed her glasses and scarf her reply to his harsh tone anger, the world had picked on her enough "here look at my face isn't this reason enough to want just a little privacy" her voice rose to a shout at the end.

"oh my god" said the stunned doctor as he sunk into his chair.

"its not that bad my skins only greenish" said Chunhua as she realised she might of been a bit hasty in revealing the extent of her problem, it had looked worse to her too until she had time to calm down.

As the doctor sat in his chair he waited for a few seconds before indicating for her to take a seat next to him. Reaching out he put a reassuring hand on hers, though she noticed he seemed to hesitate before putting his gloved hand on down.

"I don't know if I should be telling you this but you're not the first one to walk into my office like that" he said.

"And I want to reassure you that the problem you are facing appears to be in no way deadly or harmful,,,,yet." He said mumbling the last bit

Chunhua took in what he said and felt so relieved that her skin problem was understood and curable "great how long for it to clear up, i have been so worried about this problem"she asked.

"I am sorry if I gave you the wrong impression but you are only the second person to come into my office like this" he waited for her to get the idea" your the second person in the world to have this disease!" He exclaimed.

"no that can't be, I can't have a new disease or how will you cure it?" She she muttered depressed.

Noticing her son he said "does the boy have the same symptoms as you?" He asked.

"no" she replied "he's worse" at the first comment the doctor had looked happier but at the second he once more turned sombre.

"I have to see you two properly, I am sorry but I can no longer just put this down to a skin rash, ... I probably need to report this to the local authorities of health" he said.

startled Chunhua tried to get him to stop "I am fine it's just a skin disease I just need some medicine to get well, there's no need to make a big deal of this!"

"look ok I know your worried but I really must with your son there a re three people with this and I can't put this off" he reached over towards his phone only for it to be grabbed from his Hand by Chunhua.

" if this gets out I will be shunned in the village " she screamed "CRACK" went the casing of the phone as it was crushed in her hand exploding into a dozen black plastic shards to fall on the ground.

a scream from the doctor followed this as she noticed a sliver of plastic had shot into the doctors grey trousers near the top of his left leg and now as she watched she saw drops of blood run along the plastic to fall onto the ground.

"oh my god I am so sorry " Chunhua begged reaching for his leg to help him.

"don't touch my skin" he screamed as she got close. "Who knows if your deadly!" "Nurse!, Come quickly I am bleeding!" He screeched.

"I am sorry" Chunhua shouted as she grabbed her son and put on her hat and scarf before turning to the door before pushing the table aside, pulling the door open so quickly the area around the lock splintered and broke she ran out into the main entrance which had become dark as the light outside was smothered by a thick fog.

thanking god for at least stopping anyone seeing her, she ran out into the thickening fog.
