Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe

The ring was lying on the floor. Tia bent down to pick it up and suddenly a flash of terror chilled her. Tia pulled her hand back and left the ring lying there.

From outside, the voice of John sounded loud: "Bob! Bob!"

The boy walked into the mansion, saw Tia and realized: "He's gone, hasn't he?"

Tia slowly turned back and said: "He's left you Breaking Point, along with all his possessions..."

She pointed to the ring on the floor: "...Including that."

John picked up the ring, looking at it, then looking at Tia. The witch took out a big envelope and held it open. Although he didn't understand, John still slipped in the Ring into it. Tia sealed the envelope, then sighed:

-The Ring is yours now. Put it somewhere out of sight.

The witch picked up her hat and walked towards the door. John was puzzled.

-Where are you going?

-There are some things that I must look for.

-What things?

-Questions. Questions that need answering!

-But you've only just arrived! I don't understand.

-Neither do I.

After walking through the front gate, she turned back and said:

-Remember my words. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

Far, far away from the Comdon village, in the dark land of Choya...

After the defeat of the Dark Lord, his army - creatures called orcs - scattered around the land. The alliance, too tired because of war, decided to retreat and sealed the entrance to Choya. They thought sooner or later, that savage race would slowly dying.

Deep inside the caverns, the orcs were forging rough weapons. Trees continued to be felled and thrown into the pits, to be burnt in the fires in their depths. A cloaked figure walked around in them, watching the iron being smelted and poured into molds as helmets and more weapons are made.

In one corner of the caverns, some orcs were gathering around something. The cloaked figure arrived to watch. The orcs stood aside, revealed a woman whose limbs were chained. Her belly was as big as she's pregnant with octuplet, and when seeing carefully, something was moving under the skin. The woman cried: "Get it out! Get it out of me!"

The cloaked figure touched her belly and said with a deep eerie tone:

-As you wish...

Suddenly the woman shouted and withered in pain. A lot of blood and black fluid spurted out from between her legs. When a curious orc tried to approach, suddenly the belly of the woman busted and an arm emerged. It grabbed the orc's head and crushed it. Some orcs were going to intervene, but the cloaked figure held them back.

Then a huge creature came out from the woman's womb. The woman stopped shouting, undoubtedly dead. The cloaked figure didn't give an eye to the corpse of the woman, just gazing at the creature and smiled proudly.
