Until the Dawn
No one knew when they were built, who built them. But, as far as the knowledge goes, they have been standing in their places for centuries. Not one scratch could be made and no weather could harm them. For years, the stone towers stood tall and majestic.
People from far north and south have traveled to this land fascinated by their existence. Soon, they started bringing in trade and slowly, the people of the land began to prosper under their grace.
As the years passed by, the small place kept growing as more and more people started bringing in their families. There was never a shortage of anything on the land - from food to shelter, business, even the harsh weather showed them mercy. That's how Kingdom of Solacia lived in peace and joy....... and they owed it all to those majestic towers which now stand at all the edges of the kingdom, as if guarding it.
Then, one day a boy was born. He was unlike any other baby. He knew too many things. The giant towers which were oh so admired and almost worshipped by the people of the kingdom. He hated them. Every time his mother would pick him up, prop him over her shoulder to sing songs for him, show him the beautiful trees and birds around, his dark eyes would be fixed on those stone towers.
Only he knew why they were there.
Only he knew they weren't so beautiful as they looked.
Only he knew their dark secret................ and, only he knew
They were built for him.
For, he was the wielder of the darkness, himself.
The towers were built centuries ago when the time was aware of his birth in the future. They weren't built by any mortals, for no mortal would really know their importance. They were built by the time itself for him, to contain him. The wielder of darkness wasn't meant to leave outside the perimeter bounded by the towers.
He could never leave the kingdom, not even to his distant aunt and uncle when his brother could. Every time he was asked, he would say he didn't like to meet them.
Nobody tried to persuade him as they all knew that he liked being alone or so they thought. But, the truth was he was getting angry and jealous of every person who could leave the kingdom at their own will. Years passed by, and he started to hate people who had something he didn't.... and meanwhile the towers kept absorbing his powers. Any rage he would feel it was be pushed inside him, not letting it come out. Time passed along and he waited.
He waited, until today.
Today, he is 16. At the first ray of the dawn, the seal is broken within him, finally and with that everything holding him, too. Today, he is much stronger.
As he is marching up to the farthest tower closer to the gate, earth trembles beneath him and dark clouds as similar to his eyes start swallowing up the sky above. The sun is hidden in it's domain as if unable to witness what's going to happen. Soon, chaos start echoing from every direction. The shrill voices and the cries of help shake the entire kingdom for the first time, but it was the last, anybody ever heard anything ,..... For the kingdom is sealed with massive impenetrable walls, forever.
