A couple sat on a grassy hill overlooking a beach. The wind was low, and the sun was not too hot. The scene was perfect. The beach was completely calm, and the waves crashed onto the sand, completing the scene. Despite the beautiful day, the couple's thoughts were grim. They sat in silence, looking at the blue ocean. The woman had black hair, and was dressed simply in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, her dark purple eyes unreadable as she stared out at the sea. The man was a complete opposite from the woman, mud colored hair and dressed in a black suit with a wine colored dress shirt tucked underneath with black dress pants to match. He wore purple tinted sunglasses, but they didn't completely cover his eyes and his grey colored eyes were narrowed like he was concentrating.
A few moments of silence passed before the woman said something.
"Do you think we did something wrong? With Vincent*, I mean." asked the woman, looking at the man.
The man thought for a second before grimacing. The woman's face fell when she saw the man's face.
"I don't know, Gastinfer**. We didn't even know what to do when he came around. We weren't prepared. You said we should run, and I said we should have stayed." answered the man, his voice even.
The woman sighed and looked back at the ocean, and her face was one of sorrow and regret. The man's face was one of discomfort, but his face also showed compassion for the woman.
"I knew I was the one who caused this mess. I'm sorry I was a coward. I should have known the day would come." The woman let out a sad chuckle. "Picture that, the Goddess of Evil running from a newborn child."
The man snapped his head towards the woman. His face had changed to one of anger, not towards her, but towards her emotions.
"You're not a coward. You saw what Vincent would become, and you didn't want that to happen. You thought running away would stop him from learning who you were. But you didn't think he would go and cause trouble on his own. Nobody can blame you." said the man adamantly, his face serious.
The woman smiled for a second, but reverted to her sad look in an instant. She continued to stare at the blue ocean as she spoke, a slight breeze going through the hill where they sat.
"Thank you, Jackson. But I still have to apologize. I sent you to get him back when it should have been me to do it. But, you do know what this means, right? You know what our son plans, don't you?" asked Gastinfer as Jackson nodded his slowly.
"Oh yes, I know." Jackson grimaced and swallowed before continuing. "He's no fool, and he has realized that even the strongest of the strong can fall to great weakness. The other goddesses will have to choose a side, and I am afraid many mages will die. Some guilds might even be wiped out." responded Jackson, completely calm.
"People will have to pick sides, won't they?" asked Gastinfer as Jackson slowly nodded his head, a defeated look on his face.
"Yes, they will all have to choose a side. But for some, the choice is not theirs to make."

Decided to write this intro because I was bored and I just wanted to get back into writing. I'm not going to guarantee new chapters right away because of school, band, and other stuff. Just a prologue for a new story I am writing.
References:*Vincent is the current God of Evil, and son of Gastinfer and Jackson
**Gastinfer is a former Goddess of Evil
Anyways, that's it. I'll you all later. FF
