Year: 1980
Location:Woodstock, Illinois
People were seen jubilating and dancing at every corner. It was a festive season for them. They had managed to accomplish something they had always wanted to do for a very long time, capturing the Apocalypse as they were told.
Far way, in front of a building with almost no light at all, stood 5 people, two men and 3 women. They all looked huge, a bit huge for normal humans. They stood far away, staring at the crowd as they danced joyfully. The whole place was dark but their eyes were each bearing an unusual lighter colour. The ones with green eyes, their green eyes glowed in the dark and the ones with silver eyes, theirs glowed as well. They had claws instead of finger nails.
The crowd were still jubilating, not having an idea of people watching them.
Then all of a sudden, people dressed in a black cloth with a red veil covering their face, came out, carrying a bed with an unmoving figure on it and behind them was a man with bald hair and a very long beard.
On seeing this, the crowd cheered more and jubilated. The drummers played their drum harder, the women with animal skin clothes tied on their waist and upper area, danced happily while the men stared in admiration. All this while, the 5 abnormal people stood watching them from a far.
The drumming and noise suddenly came to a stop when the long bearded man raised his hands. Everyone watched curiously as the bed with the unmoving figure on it was gently lowered to the ground. A red cloth was used to cover whoever it was.
After the bed was successfully lowered to the ground, the long bearded man began:
"People of Igwana, as you all know, today is indeed a day that our beloved god, Aria, has decided to reward us handsomely, for our patience all this years, for everyone we have lost to this Dhavon here" He pointed at the figure. "For all our chickens, bulls, herds and other livestock's and animals that we have lost to this Dhavon
Apocalypse
. Now it is time to put an end to what came to put an end to us."
"Whooooo!" The crowd cheered.
He raised his hand and everywhere became silent again then he continued. "And now, let us do what we've all wanted to do several years ago, to put an end to Dhavon!"
"Put an end to Dhavon!"
"Put an end to Dhavon!"
"Put an end to Dhavon!"
The crowd started chanting as the man puts his hand into his bag and brings out a knife from his bag. It wasn't a normal knife. Even the design could make any random person suspect what the knife entailed. It was a knife that was made in form of a bangle but wasn't entirely round as it had an opening at the under. Until someone makes use of it, you won't know it's a knife.
He took it out and raised it in the air, the lights that reflected on it made it to shine causing the crowd to cheer more.
"Put an end to Dhavon!"
"Put an end to Dhavon!" They started cheering again.
The bearded man flipped the bangle and it instantly turned into a knife. The loud cheering increased as everyone seemed happy at this. And then slowly, he walked to where the figure was kept. The people with veil on their faces made way for him as he walked until he stood in front of the person. And then he took off the red cloth.
Everywhere suddenly became quiet as people gasped in shock. Those behind started struggling to see what was happening.
It was a young woman who looked like she was in her late twenties. Her eyes were closed and she was tied to the bed. She had an extremely long black shiny hair that covered part of her flawless and extraordinarily tanned body. She was no doubt a beauty to behold.
People began to murmur as they started feeling sorry for the young lady who was about to be killed but some of the elders among them, hushed them immediately and reminded them how many of their loved ones they had lost to the so called beautiful woman.
Their senses immediately returned to normal and they again started chanting 'Put an end to Dhavon!'
The bearded man smiled on seeing this. For a while he thought people will be bewitched by her beauty just as he had, when he first found her in the woods.
He took out the knife again, raised it to the sky and slowly started bringing it down. Silence instantly overtook the whole place as people watched curiously. Some had their faces turned away from the sight so they couldn't see when it happened, when the beautiful lady gets killed. While some who had courage, got even closer to watch the end of their supposed end.
The bearded man's hand had managed to get close to the beautiful woman's stomach, that was were he intended to insert the knife, when he suddenly threw the knife away, coughing out blood before slumping to the ground. Behind him were 3 people and 2 creatures they couldn't recognize.
The crowd moved back in fear as they stared at the people in front of them. They were the 5 people who stood watching them from afar just that 2 out of the five had changed into another form,werewolves.
The veiled people instantly took out swords from their back and charged at the people but they were no match for the werewolves as they were immediately sliced into two and limb by limb they fell on the ground with their blood splattered across the place.
The crowd on seeing this immediately took to their heels screaming 'Dhavons' as they ran. They had never seen those kind of people or experienced that kind of bloodshed before.
The werewolves returned back to their normal form, collected the knife, untied the beautiful woman then carried her into the woods. They were called THE GUARDIANS.
