I remember when I first saw the light, it was beautiful, then I saw my mother, she was even more beautiful, I saw my dad, he was very kind. I remember our house..... no our shack, it wasnt beautiful, it was ugly.

Not long after, when I was turning 1, I took my first steps and said my dad's and mom's name, I could see the joy on there face, I want to protect those smiles.

For 4 years I kept doing things to keep that smile, my mom bought me books for my birthday. I didnt understand well at that time, but I thanked my mom from the bottom of my heart.

As time slowly went on I started reading and slowly understanding the alien language and my dad and mom praised me, it made me feel happy. Everything was great, I kept reading and understanding things, a book I really like was called 'The Book Of Red' it was fantasy like because of the main character, The Guardian.

I asked mom who made was the author of this book, but she just smiled. Even though I read the Book Of Red so many times, it was still my favorite. But then on my 17th birthday some people came knocking on our door, my mom and dad told me to go hide in the closet.

I wanted to ask why but I didnt for I saw the worried look my parents had and quickly ran into a closet. I heard the door slam open and I quickly looked through a hole in the closet.

I saw a strange man, he was wearing luxurious clothing he was grey skinned, like all of us, and had an evil smirk that I shuddered just by looking at it. Two other people were beside him, they were had laser rifles that I saw in the books I read, I heard the man say. "20 years have passed yet I dont see my money.... do you remember the rules?"

Then I saw my mother start crying, my dad holding her tightly, I heard my dad say. "Please Mr. Rev, I promise I'll bring-" he couldn't even finish talking before a green light came from the barrel of the gun lighting up the room, it hit my dad's shoulder making him scream in pain.

The man shushed my dad by firing another beam of light into my o went limp and fell to the ground, the man repeated the same action to my mom. Then they left, this whole time I didnt do anything, I just watched them die. I slowly stepped out of the closet, shacking as I neared my parent's corpses.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

I said to myself, "hey wake up!" multiple times believing that it was all a lie, and it was just a prank. I cried, and I cried through the hole night. I buried my parents the next night, my eyes turning red. I clenched my fist before saying with a snarl, "Mr. Rev... I will find you!"

On my 19th birthday i was ready to die from despair, and uselessness.. but then! A book, named, 'the truth of the universe' was thrown next to where I was sleeping.

At first I was confused since the book looked expensive. Knowing I didnt have anything left to lose I opened the book.

I gasped in shock as I continued reading it. Every page brought me even closer to hope. The book told me how to get power, how to get revenge through a ritual! It seemed perfect, too perfect... But I didn't notice, I was too excited.

10 minutes ago, I started the ritual... Everything was going as planned. But Then everything turned black and white, and nothing existed other than the book and I.

I was confused, was it a part of the ritual. As I pondered I was gonna try flipping the page again, but a crack in space opened causing ripples to flow. Then something came out but o only saw a blur of the figure.

The ground shaked everytime the being took a step, like the planet was being split in half. I saw reality distort around the being. I couldn't even see its details of the blurry being, as I was immediately blinded, and my head felt like it was exploding, and my spirit felt like it was being crushed.

Blood coming from all my pores by the sheer power of it, but I could feel its stare, I shuddered as it seemed to pierce my soul.

Then I heard 'Its' voice, 'Its' deep cold mighty voice, "you are trying to release the ancients, yet I feel you have no intentions for wrecking havoc on reality.

Stop your ritual, and you will not perish." The being's voice bursted my ear drums and even more blood flowed, it made me kneel with my face to the ground, its power was overwhelming and I shaked harder.

Then I remembered a line from the 'Book of Red', ''Its' sheer power made reality shiver. 'Its' icy stare made me feel like all my secrets were uncovered. 'Its' voice made me kneel like 'It' was my Lord.'

'It' is real... I could barely think anymore, as I asked myself, 'whats the line between illusion and reality?' I tried my best to say something, "I..... no.... point..... living..... world......"

'It' went quiet for a splite second, before it saying, "Very well then, I see your pain. I saw your story. I will give you a painless end. The person you hate from the bottom of your heart, has now perished. His sins have been noticed and he was judged. Rest in peace." Then darkness hit me, and I finally felt peace.
