Prologue: The Lost One

Schala shivered from coldness that surrouded her. The painful cries of many could be heard through this desolate wasteland. She could see nothing, only darkness, stuck in between times, at the mercy of him. Schala started to shake just thinking about him. The cries stopped expecting something to happen. She started to get nervous, never had the cries stopped so long. Then she understood, before her white mist started to arise, slowly materialzing out of the mist was the thing she feared the most.

Clad in black armor with a dark sword shealthed by his side was the abomination of all evil. He had bronze skin, immune to the fires which it had lived in and black long hair, that the style was almost like porcupine bristles. His eyes were blood red, that seemed to gleam through the darkness. "Hello princess". The voice was deep and sinster.

"Leave me alone". Schala started to shrink into a ball, scared for her life.

"Oh, Princess Schala there's nothing to be scared of, I won't harm you ..........yet. I just wanted to inform you, all is going according to plan". Then he paused as if musing, then suddenly his face broke out into a wicked smile."Too bad you won't see your precious world again, such a shame"

"Please don't! You can't do that!"

"But I can. It seems that you have forgotton princess, time..... is on my side". Suddenly he vanished leaving Schala again, and the cries returned, that seemed to wrack havoc upon her brain.

"Janus..." and she wept, for a very long time.
