Iassc was seventeen year old, he had dark brown hair which was long and tide back (all the men in greenvally wear they hair like that if their were not at war or was away for the village for some time), and he had Green eyes.
Isaac was out in the wood hunting. all the young man in Greenvally took turns hunting for the elders and widows of the village. he came to a clearing where just little ways from him was a family of deer. so Isaac took out his bow and a arrow form his quiver and aimed at the smallest deer and he was about shoot but a sound came from be hide Isaac that made deer run off. Isaac slowly turn around. there was a boy about Isaac's age standing be hide him. the Boy had black long hair wear in the same way as Isaac and he had brown eyes. "Ivan!." Isaac said more in a shout. "don't scare me like that!."
"sorry Isaac but your Father." Ivan stopped himself. "I mean the King sent me to find you. he wants you to come back right away and go see him."
"why does he want to see me.?"
"I do not know, he wouldn't tell me." Ivan said with a worried tone to his voice.
"well, thank you my friend then I shall go right away." and with that Isaac and Ivan left the forest when the got to Greenvally Ivan and Isaac made there way to the Isaac's palace.
"the King wants to see you alone." Ivan said again a worried tone.
"alright then." with a smile of farewell to his friend, Isaac went in.
a man was sitting in his room by a small table. Isaac walked up to him and bow low to him.
"get up my son." said Jack the King of Greenvally. "you are the Prince and besides I want to talk to you a Father to a son, not a King to a Prince."
"yes Father." Isaac sat down across from his Father. "what is it you wanted?." Isaac said even before he sat down.
Jack pulled a necklace from under his shirt. at the end of the necklace there was a green stone that looked like it was glowing. now let me take a moment to explain something. everyone in Greenvally men,women,Children ,old,young doesn't matter who you are. has this a necklace like the one that King Jack has. Isaac took out his. it was glowing like his father's one. "w-what does it mean?." Isaac said slowly
"Isaac do you know the meaning of these necklaces?."
"no I don't."
"well when the Holy Family or better known here as the Earth People lived here we needed a way to let us know if they needed us,but we couldn't keep going to their caves or people from other villages mite see us and find the Earth People. so one day a messager came from God and told my great grandfathers about these stones and said. "King of Greenvally, the leader of the people who swore to protect the Holy family, not far from your village deep a moutin you will find these stones will glow when the Holy Family needs you. you the people of Greenvally, Followers of God. are to always wear them" so my great grandfathers founded the stones made them into necklace so we would alway see them."
"but why are they glowing now?" Isaac asked "I thought they all died?."
"all of us who lived then have kept things from you, younger ones"
"what do you mean?"
"I'm saying there still one alive" King Jack said slowly and carefully
"what!? where is he? and why didn't you tell everyone? and, and" Isaac Asked really fast.
"Isaac!" King Jack said raising his voice. "calm down"
Isaac took a deep breath.
"now Isaac I understand you have questions so ask one at a time"
"alright, first there something I've been thinking about sense I first hear about the Earth People"
"go a head" King Jack said calmly
"well If they were here but no one know but the people of the village, how did they still rule the Earth?."
"well the people of Greenvally has always been a village of great Military power so when Kings and other Leaders would come asking us for Military support and other things then we would ask the Earth People, they would tell us what to do"
"so, in other words we were the link between the Earth People and everyone else"
"yes"
"Next question. how did the Earth People die? in the stories they all that the Earth People just died without giving a reason" Isaac said playing if his Green stone Necklace
"that one is a little harder to explain..." King Jack said slowly
"...what do you mean?..."
"well we know that they were killed with swords and cursed ones that had great evil within them that will kill you if you get to close. but..." King Jack stop himself there.
"but what?" Isaac eyes were wide now.
King Jack just looked at his seventeen year old son for a moment realizing how young he was, then took a deep breath. "we don't know how the killer or killers got in there. in the caves or how they got out without anyone see them and as far as we know the Earth People didn't call for us"
"but how? and why didn't they call us?" Isaac asked almost sounding childish
"I do not know my son" King Jack said in a quiet voice
"so everyone in the Earth People's caves died? even soldiers?"
"yes...I remember it as if it were yesterday. I was just a boy at that time," King Jack said sounding like he was talking to himself. "I was one of the first to go in the caves and I stopped dead in my tracts when I saw all of those people there....and as I walk through everything...through about the caves....a Kingdom my grandfather and his father help make....I thought about you and your mother and hoping she was alright....but the I came to a room....And,and" King Jack stopped. his eyes and cheeks were wet with tears. Isaac got up not knowing with he was going to do but know he had to do something.
"sat down my son" King Jack calmly. not knowing what to do, Isaac sat back down.
"good, Isaac listen carefully you need to hear this"
"Alright Father. I'm ready" Isaac's voice was shaking as much as his hands were.
"I came to a room that was used after a woman would had a baby...when I came there...I saw your Mother, the King and Queen in there" King Jack said calm and slowly and sounding close to tears again.
"M-Mom was there" Isaac whispered "why was she there?" Isaac asked his father
"Molly was a friend of the Queen, I know you don't know but when the Queen was a little girl she was one of maids who work there as was Molly so they became friends and even after the Queen and King were married they were Friends so I think Molly was there when to see her Friend's child" King Jack's voice was low and almost in a whisper.
"oh...alright" Isaac knew that his Father was in pain remembering all this that so Isaac when on to his next question. "my last question because the Earth People. why did the world go into chaos when the Earth People died?"
"Because they were keeping most of the evil in this world at bay"
"What do you mean?" Isaac asked
"no one on earth, not even the Earth People them selfs know how. but because of them just living. there was almost no evil in this world"
"but I thought you said that one still lived? wouldn't that mean that him being a life work too?,"
"yes but they aren't of age." said King Jack "not in tell they are sixteen will the world will be a peace."
"oh one more thing, what about the cursed swords if there was almost no evil in this world then how could they have so much power?"
"That's another thing I do not know"
"oh I see" and with that both of them said nothing more lost in their own thoughts. after a moment Isaac finally said "Father why are you telling me all this? and why didn't you keep this for all who don't remember?"
"I will tell you the reason but first. Isaac when you touch the Green stone, what do does it feel like?"
"what do you mean?. it feels hot like it alway does"
"what about mine?" King Jack said slowly handing his necklace to Isaac.
"it feel the same. all of them feel hot on my bare skin" I gave King Jack his necklace back to him. "why are you asking me?"
"Because Isaac...the stones aren't hot when all of us beside you touch it. in fact their cold"
"w-what do you mean!?" Isaac shouted at his Father. "it's always been hot since the first day I got it! I haven't gone mad or anything, I know it feels hot"
"clam down Isaac" King Jack said calmly. Isaac stopped where he was and said no more. "Isaac my boy. I don't think you went mad or anything like that. I expected you where going to say it was hot"
"why did you expected I would say it's hot?"
"because you are from the royal, you are the Prince of Greenvally. we are the protectors of the Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses of the Holy people. so when the man of our family are born we see how the stone reacts to"
"I don't understand Father. what do you mean?"
"the stone would glow when you were near the person you were to protect. the closer you are to them the more it will glow, I was the protecter the King but for you, no one made your glow so we took that as a sigh that there was going to be a prince or Princess in the near future"
"oh I see so the stones feel hot to us because we protect the King and his family" said Isaac
"yes" King Jack said nodding his head."and if the person you protecting dies the stones will go cold to you"
"makes since" said Isaac
"but Isaac there another thing you need to know about the stones."
"what is it?"
"well if we are order to do something by that person we have to do it, if we don't the stones will get so hot....it will burn your skin to the point where it will burn through you..." King jack looked deeply into Isaac's eyes. "remember this for the rest of your life" King Jacks voice was low and deep. Isaac just nodded.
"and Isaac"
"yes what is it"
"one more thing about then the holy Family died, on the wall where the King and Queen and...your mother was found the was a message written blood"
"what did it say?" said Isaac half jumping out of his seat.
"you the protectors of the Holy Family, Messager of God Himself, not even our cursed sword could hurt this Holy child of God, the ruler of the world."
"what does it mean?"
"I don't not know"
"oh" and that's all Isaac could say.
"Isaac, the reason I'm telling you this. though I'm sure you know now" King Jack got up and in a long deep voice as if making it law said. "you, Isaac, Prince of Greenvally must go look for the heir of the Holy People and bring them back here, will you do this my son?"
"y-yes I will" the work came out of Isaac's mouth as if he was under a spell.
"good my son then you will leave tonight"
"alright" Isaac voice was shaking "I'll find him and bring him back" Isaac got up to leave
"oh one more thing Isaac" said King Jack Isaac stop. King Jack grinned."the Heir to the Holy family...is a woman"
"what!? a woman?" Isaac shouted
"no, my mistake not even a woman. she still a girl by law in tell she is sixteen"
"I though...and you" Isaac couldn't find the work to say what he was thinking.
"I never said it was a man or a woman" King jack said still grinning.
"oh...um" King Jack laughed and Isaac soon joined in. and they both knew in the back of their minds that this the the late Happy moment that they will have before Isaac leaves.
