Barbarians' Revenge
By MJC
Prologue 1: The Evil Rises Once and Again
As the young boy walked down the road, he heard a quick slithering sound behind the tree.
"Just ignore it," He thought. "Just ignore it" He heard it again. Not being able to resist, he turned around and looked, catching a glimpse of an unusually coloured snake slithering away. The boy moved towards the tree, trying to see the snake again. Suddenly the snake jumped out and bit the boy at the neck, the snake and the boy falling to the ground, the snake shrivelling up, and the boy fainting.

Years later the boy woke up. He tried to stand up, but he was unbelievably heavy. After fifteen minuets he finally stood up. Everything seemed further away than usual… Weird… As the boy walked around, he noticed so many differences… Buildings had changed… Car models he had never seen… The old shopping centre around the corner was now an old peoples home… Whenever he got into sight with another person, they ran screaming… Why?
As the boy reached the Old River, he saw the reflection of a giant snake in the water. He looked around, frightened. He moved left, the snake moved left, He opened and closed his mouth, and the snake opened and closed its mouth… He wiggled his tail, the snake wiggled his tail…
"Huh? What do I have a tail for?" he tried to say, but only hissed. Then it dawned on him. He was the snake. He remembered. The snake that had bitten him. He had become that snake. A much larger version of that snake. The boy, now the snake, then realised that he was hungry. But not for lollies or Hamburgers as usual, no, he was hungry for something a bit different. Humans. Fresh, live, humans.
He slunk around the river, looking for a human. A nice juicy human… He could just fell the blood oozing between his teeth… The nice warm blood… Finally he found a human… 3 children… 2 adults… Perfect…
"ROAAAAAAAR!" The boy/snake roared. He struck Once! Twice! Thrice! Taking all three children at once. Suddenly a bright beam of light shone from the sky, an arch angel floated down. The arch angel cast a spell which banished the boy/snake to hell. Trapping him in a giant cage and sending him back in time.

10 000 years earlier an evil broke out of a cage. A very powerful evil. An evil that used to be a young boy. The evil roared and rose to the earth. Raising all the dead and evil. The Evil Arose again.
