Prologue
The figure looked outside, the torrential rains that had been flowing down the streets seemingly moving like a rampaging river down into the drains. He remembered a time where the streets were not paved with a greyish hue, but black and before that nothing but ground, then grass. It had been so long since he remembered the street leading to his mansion being grass, but in his mind's eye he could still recall. As he looked upwards, the grey skies still beckoning him, he saw the city's skyline. Another of the trappings of modern times that he had adapted to. Remembering so long ago, when where he now saw a tall skyscraper, there had been an ancient tree standing.
'How time has passed' he thought as the rains were now pelting onto the window that he had been musing through. He heard a sound from the doorway and felt the presence of a figure
"I sense something. Something I am not sure of." the voice of a man said
"I sense it as well. I was going to wait for the rain to stop, but I will go out now and check it out. Stay here and guard." the figure that had been watching outside said to the tall white haired man that had invaded his room.
"As you wish Pharaoh." the figure said and with a mock salute, bowed shortly and stepped out of the room. Looking back outside, he wondered what had he sensed. It felt like a small trace of shadow magic that he thought had been banished but was now trickling into the back of his mind. Sighing as he felt that it would not do to deny his feelings, he grabbed what this century had called a rain tarp and put on another invention called duckies, that were wonderful on the bare foot and would protect him from the rain. Not that he minded the rain, but sometimes he just did not want to get wet.
Gathering these items he headed to the side of the mansion that he was in, he left it and headed into the room before the door that led outside. Inside the room was warm, but outside the constant rain had driven away the beautiful weather that they had been experiencing since the end of winter. As he left the mud room, he opened the door and felt the presence of someone that should not be there. Closing his eyes, and allowing his third eye, his Sennen Eye to explore he found what he had been sensing. A woman was holding a baby. She herself seemed quiet, almost in a deathlike manner. The child however...had a set of lungs on him that in all his years of living had never seen in a child.
"Miss. Miss...you can not be here. It is not safe." he gently prodded. But she did not seem to respond, and the child was becoming more agitated with each second.
"Miss..." he asked again, but could not get a response from her. He then laid a hand onto her, to nudge her awake and then with his touch, his gift kicked in and he could see her last memories. Panic...Confusion...Fear...Terror...and a fierce love for the child in her hands. His gift had also told him that she was dead, and the child was no more then 3 months old. Leaning down he looked at the child that now he could see that the child was cold, and most likely very hungry. Taking the child from his mother's lifeless hands he looked down at the baby and smiled. Children were always his weakness and he could not help but run a finger down the side of cherubic face. And then gasped as his gift once again kicked in and he saw the child's future.
"My gods...it is him. This can not be..." he whispered looking at the child. "I need to protect him, but how...a mask...that is it..I will mask his aura. Then no one will be able to find him." he whispered as he laid a hand onto the small cherubic baby and he closed his eyes. As he began to weave the mask that he needed to create to protect him, he caught a scent on him that he did not expect, one that he had not found in 5,000 years. One that gave him hope.
As the mask completed, he smiled down at his newest treasure. One that he was going to protect until needed.
His new son.
