Frozen Fire-Prologue

Frozen Fire-Prologue

Third-person POV

Shadows engulfed the city. Only the street lamps could drive away the darkness, showering the street with a small safe haven of light. In a dark alley, safe from the light, four figures sat in a circle. Their mouths were still fresh from their meal. Blood dripped from the side of their mouths.

"Ah, demigod for dinner, delicious." One of them said.

"They think their so amazing. Ha! Fear the might of the Laistrygoniant Giants of the West! Fear of the Night!" The leader exclaimed his voice filled with pride.

"Fear of the Night huh?" A voice said.

The four figures turned to face the voice. The voice belonged to a young boy, around sixteen. Sitting at the top of one of the small buildings beside them. His feature were unreadable due to a shadow being cast over his face, but his eyes were a different story. The white's of his eyes glowed brightly like a torch, revealing the brown irises of his eyes. His clothes were as dark as the shadows around him.

"I smell Ichor in you...Demigod!" The leader said, grinning. "Boys I think its time for seconds."

The other three giant's mouth watered. Another Demigod? Their luck couldn't be that good.

"You want to treat me as a meal eh?" The boy jumped down. Despite the height of the fall, he was completely unharmed. The darkness of the alley surrounded him and reached out to him, wanting to embrace him. "You know, If I had a nickel everytime a Laistrygonian wanted to eat me, I'd be rich."

For once the leader of the giant looked straight into the boys eyes. Combined with the eerie glow they gave off, they were cold and focused. He also seemed to radiant something powerful. The leader shook his head. He was just a boy, he couldn't hurt them. He wasn't scared of the runt. If that was true, why was his hand shaking?

"Get him." The leader said. Despite the order only one of them did. Armed with makeshift club made from wood he struck at the boy.

The boy raised his hand then immediately the darkness around him followed his action. The darkness grabbed the giant that charged him. The boy clenched his fist, then the darkness began to tear the giant apart until there was nothing but dust.

"What?..How?" The leader said taken aback.

"The boy looked at them, this time light has hit his face and showed him smiling. "You say your the fear of the Night, when it actual truth." The boy took something, it turned into a scythe with an eerie light coming from it.

"I am!" Then he charged at the terrified giants.
