Chapter 310 The Dark Lord

 Writer's point of view….

   Two hefty men were seen carrying a boy, walking through a bushy path. They were all dressed in black all through. The boy is no other person than Jade, the memory Box of the human race. They could have disappeared but each time they try, they can't.

    They both kept wondering what is stopping them from disappearing and to worsen the situation, their strengths were withering which has never happened before.

   This parcel was too be delivered a  long time ago to the Dark Lord.

   The Dark Lord had been looking for means to get his hands on the boy who is going to be his licence in controlling the human memories and finally today, luck shined on him and he was able to access the East magic and took him, he could not going near the Eastern magic so he sent his two loyal men who did the job and got positive results.

   He has been waiting for them for so long to deliver the parcel but they are taking too much time.

   If he could go out of this damn dungeon he was trapped in, the job would have been easier done than said. He could have done it himself but the damned witch had cursed to remain trapped. If only they would bring the boy to him, he would be freed.

   He checked the mirror on the wall and saw they were still in the exact location he saw them last.

   He cursed and sat back on the chair.

     The dark lord was never darked as his name states. He was a mixed breed and would say have a right to be a human or a witch, whichever he chooses.

     His quest to be great led him into a black witch who saw a future of him and told him that he could choose to be whatever he wishes only if he lays his hand on the one who has to the key to manipulating the human mind, if he could get his hands on him before he turns seventeen then he will be greater than great and the world will do his bidding but that comes with a condition that he will stayed trapped until he gets his hands on the boy and he has agreed without thinking twice.

   He has been trapped for two hundred years waiting for the memory book to be born and five years ago,a boy with a gift was born.

   Only the ones under knew that he was the key they were looking for, it was not only the dark lord that wanted him, so many forces were up against him.

   A nurse who had the gift of sight at the hospital where Jade was born, saw what the future would look like if she did not do something. She did the only thing which was necessary, she switched the boy and dumped Jade at an orphanage when Jade was 3 months old and somehow, Govey was led to adopt the baby when she heard of him. The East was the perfect place to hide him and she has been doing that for the past five years only for Jade to be taken from her today.

   Jade was sleeping peacefully on one of his abducter's arms. The two took a break and decided to rest a lot. They slumped from exhaustion and were drafted to sleep immediately.

    A shadow appeared and took Jade from them and disappeared. The Dark Lord almost fainted from the sight that played before him. He can not come this far to fail. He was close to his destination and this happened.

   Those men of his will pay with their lives.

   He released a scream and his men woke up to see Jade gone.

  They were confused, he is just a boy he could not have gone so far so they began to search for him to see if they could find him. How will they explain to the dark lord that they boy there were sent to get, slipped off their fingers, he would chop their heads and feed them to the birds.

   They have been in the search for the boy for some time now and no trace of the boy, from all indications, the boy is gone, so is their lives.

   The dark lord could not watch them anymore and invoke them which he did easily this time around. He had tried before but could not and it means that his power was rendered useless because of the boy, more reason who would do all it takes to get him. He might have been saved today but not next time.

   When you fail, try again.

  His men fell to their knees shaking with fear, he took a last glance at them and shrieked the life out of both of them. Blood splattered everywhere and he smiled.

"Fools"

He muttered.

   To be powerful feels so good, he can't wait for a time when the humans will submit to him and that time is coming so soon, whoever that dares him should not try him next time. The dark lord was confident that he would get the boy next time he tired but for now, he is letting it slide.
