Teachers...parents, the older people are the ones who usually end up teaching you the things of life. Explaining life lessons, experiences, the questions you hold and wish to ask. And then there are the things you think to be impossible to explain. The unanswerable things but yet people find ways to answer there. Sometimes with lies or even with the truth...sometimes just a hunch, neither lie nor truth. How is it that people come upon these explanations for things...the unanswerable questions?

"You are from?" Toro asked pouring a cup of water.

"The outskirts...farmlands." I replied sitting up and rubbing my forehead.

"So then you know?" Toro said handing me a glass of water, "That it was destroyed."

And image of my village up in flames and the screaming people fleeing from the town shot across my head as my face remained emotionless. It wasn't the best thing to picture but it was ...weird at the same time. Like nothing I had ever pictured before. I had no recollection of ever thinking of such a thing could happen to my village whilsts I was living there. It seemed practically impossible something such as that could happen to a place such as that. "Who did it anyways?...Destroyed my village...the others?"

"The unknown...the Fenriers...a group...that is put together with the unkown, the Fenriers, a secret society and or government." He replied giving a cup of water to Ash and Murt. "They're not to be taken lightly...of course..no one really even knows much about them. Not much in books are written."

"They keep to themselves..and do whatever they please." Ash said sipping water.

"There's a head...who seems to be neither man nor animal...but something else...a wizard of sorts cast together by humanly things but ...can't be qualified as one. Seems to fit the description you told me." Toro said looking at me. "How did you see him? Did he say anything to you?"

I looked at him and then rubbed my eye thinking. "...We came in...something...behind your desk...glass sphere..ball item."

"An exlia. A gift from a man I know." Toro smiled.

"It caught my eye and then it was just like...everything stopped. Someone said...The one has arrived. Not sure ..what they meant." I sighed then shortly after yawned. I took a sip of water and look at my reflection in the water picturing the face. "Deep...eyes...red as red could be."

"Like blood. The blood of those he's killed throughout the ages." Ash mumbled from where she was sitting.

Toro sat down putting his head in his hand with a dazed look in his eyes. "The game is afoot...he's made his move."

"...A move?" Murt asked.

"He's coming back...and he plans to finish what he started thousands of years ago." Toro replied putting his head down to scratch the back of his neck. "A new era is coming and...it will be filled with blood...death...among other things."

I looked at him...confused yet...amazed by this..mysterious man whom I had just meant. There was something about the tone of his voice...the way he looked at people, how he moved, how he explained things. How he was...himself. I knew nothing of this man except for the fact that his name was Toro. I knew not what his profession was, what he does in his off time, where he was from, who his family was, what his last name was for that matter.

The door opened and a man stepped through the fabric curtains, "You old idiot hiding that kid down here." Ray yelled starting to walk and falling halfway through the room. "What the hell IS this junk! You can't even keep a room organized. God dammit Toro."

Toro sighed with a funny looking frown on his face, "You...you haven't changed at all old friend."

"Old friend...what the hell do you mean old friend?" Ray said standing up. He looked at me and shock filled his eyes. He quickly looked at Toro, "What happened?" He knelt down next to me, "What happened in this room?"

I looked at him suprised, "What do you mean?..Happened..." I looked up at Toro. He nodded telling me I could tell Ray. I looked back at Ray who had a stern worried look on his face. "I saw...a face or a man...not sure who he is. But he seemed to be whispering things to me...he told me the one has arrived. Not sure who that is either."

"The eyes?" Ray asked.

I looked away staring into nothingness.

"Blood."
