It was a dark and stormy night. The sounds of two people bickering drifted from an open window.
"Does it have to be tonight?" Questioned a male voice.
"Of course it does! The clouds never lie!" A woman's voice replied.
Let us zoom in on our two current protagonists. One is tall and lanky with jet-black hair and rather goofy looking glasses. The other is a curvaceous woman with fiery red hair and stunning green eyes. They are both hunched over a huge metal contraption with what appears to be giant test tubes on it.
"Well, here goes nothing!" the redhead exclaimed.
With a pop, there was suddenly an infant on the flattest part of the contraption. It was no human infant, though. It had green skin, orange-ish horns, and multiple legs. Some might compare it to some sort of a grub, perhaps.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Instead of answering the door like one normally would in this situation, the couple decided to panic. The male started flipping levers like a madman, and the female started to furiously gather items from around the house.
After a couple of seconds, the couple had gathered a small bundle of books and the infant creature onto a completely different part of the machine. Within seconds of pressing yet another round of complicated-looking buttons, there was another pop, and both the infant and the books disappeared.
It was a good thing they did, because as you have probably guessed by now, this is the part where the villain shows up. And show up he did. He completely smashed the door down!
A scrawny black creature strode purposefully into the room. What, were you expecting Voldemort himself to show up this early in the plot? That would be ridiculous! Who in their right mind puts the final villain in the beginning of the book!
Anyways, while I was rambling on about plot points, Jack Noir, the scrawny black creature, had managed to kill both of the humans, by stabbing them. A lot. This seemed to be his way of saying hello.
Jack just looked somewhat disappointedly at the bodies before walking away again.
Well, that was a waste of two good humans. But those two humans that we saw die were just the start of something great. This is because the young infant that they just sent off is our protagonist, and he is soon going to start the biggest adventure of his lifetime.
