*It is a calm day on a small island. Seagulls soar over the trees and the sun shines brightly over the waves. Children are outside, playing and having lots of fun, with the small exception of one. He has bright blue eyes and brown hair. He is very skinny, and has pale skin. This is Ultima, only nine years old. He had no idea where his father was, for his mother had never mentioned him. He lived with her, along with an older sister, Jessica, and a baby sister, Julie. It had always been peaceful on their small island. No robberies, no murders, just peace. Though not all was perfect. For some reason, all the children seemed to avoid Ultima. He did not know why, though he could hear murmurs of "demons" and "curse" So, Ultima did not know friends... His only happiness was when he reached his home. Nobody ever wanted to play with the freak... So why should today be any different? Ultima got up and slowly walked to his home, looking forward to taking a hot shower. When he opened the door, his mother, and sisters were waiting at the table.* Ultima, the oracle wanted to see you... She said it was important. So... go ahead, we'll be here. Yes, ma'am. *He walked slowly to the oracle's house.* Aah, come in, young one. There is something you should know now that you are older...
What is it?
First... let's check your vitality. *She rubs her palm around my hands and then feels my heart, looking up sadly.*
It is as I feared... Ultima... that mark on your stomach... is a seal. There is a demon living inside of you... You have no pulse.
You're lying!!!! You're lying!
No, I am not... Get out.
But...
It's time you learned the truth, boy. About your birth... About your father.
What about him?
Talk to your mother... Now, leave!
*As I leave her house, something catches my eye and I look towards it.* No....
*Where the house was, there were now large flames and smoke* No!!!! Mom!!!
Mom!!!! *He runs toward the house. There was no way he could know he had just set into motion a chain of events that would destroy everything he cared for.*
