Yep! My first prologue. Actually, at first, I didn't plan on writing one. And then I thought why not. So here it is! Not to worry, the next chapter is 11,000+. Yes. I'm surprised too. It's really amazing. But I wanted to write a long story for once. You know, with hellllla long chapters. Hopefully I can keep this up for the other chapters in this story. And it won't sink down to my usual 3,000-4,000 range. But seriously, that's like four times!
A man approached a large house hidden in a large forest. He knocked hesitantly, as if he had second thoughts about this. The door creaked open slowly, the classic creepy door opening in movies and TV shows. Nobody was on the other side.
"What do you want?" another figure said, sneering in the other person's face. This person was androgynous down to the last hair. To the last strand of green dreadlocked hair.
"I'm here to make a deal," the figure said. Or more accurately, a snake chimera. It wasn't even done properly. Or at least that's how it looked like.
"I'm not surprised. Our reputation here has spread far everywhere, even across the Gate," the androgynous boy said.
"Which is exactly why I'm here. I need you-" the first man said.
"Hold on, what exactly makes you think that we'll help you in the first place?" a woman with a heavily lined face said. She had just entered the room to figure out why her 'child' was making such loud noises. Apparently it wasn't what the 'chimera' expected. Not in the least.
"Because I've got information you'd do anything to get," the first man smirked as he regained his posture.
"Oh?" It was the old woman again.
"Information on the Philosopher's Stone."
"You got me, go on."
"It's at a school. Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Ha! You're lying. Magic doesn't exist," the second person said.
"Quiet. What everyone says isn't necessarily true. You wouldn't exist if it was," the woman scolded.
"It does. On the other side. Not everybody knows of it though. Only the select few that learn it." The first man said this.
"And what, exactly, do you want us to do?" The woman again.
"I want you to get it for me. In exchange, I'll let you have some of it. Enough for you to stay alive for another, say two hundred," the man said.
"How many years will it let someone live in total?"
"Four hundred years. Be happy, I was being generous, that I'm giving you half," the man said sourly.
"I hear you're quite skilled in your arts too. Why would you need us? Never mind. How about this? I'll take one hundred fifty. But in return, you have to help us too," the woman smirked. Of course, when I get it, I'll be keeping all of it.
"May I ask what you're using it for?" she asked.
"I'll be using it to completely demolish some of my enemies," the man said.
"I understand. Now do we have a deal?"
"Yes we do," the man agreed.
If you can't tell who's who...wow. I think I made everybody pretty clear, with describing them. At least I hope I did...
