The two people who I loved so very much were now sitting in front of me dead. The only rational answer that I could come up with at the moment was that this had to be the handy work of some sort of supernatural being, as a witch could not do such a thing.

I kept thinking to myself that they never harmed anyone. All they did was love and take care of me. Who could have done such a horrific thing to them?

It seemed as if someone or something was reading my thoughts because within a split second after asking myself that question, Alexander and Charlotte suddenly burst into flames, and I heard what seemed to be a vile laugh, and a voice that said, “I am Bastelet, and soon we will meet again.”

Before I had any chance at all to ask any questions, the entire kitchen went up in flames. So fast in fact that I had no time to do anything except run for my life. Therefore, I ran through the living room and straight out the front door. As soon as I got out to the safety of the street, I turned around and the entire house had already been engulfed in flames. So intense that I could feel the heat on the other side of the street. I knew that it would not be long before the fire department would arrive and start asking me questions that I knew I would not have the answers too. Therefore, I decided to leave. I took off running as fast as I could. Headed for the old lighthouse that was located on the outskirts of town, down by the beach where the ocean met the forest-covered cliffs. This is where I would always go if something had been troubling me.

As soon as I got to the old lighthouse, I broke out in tears, knowing that I have just lost the only two people in the world who ever cared about me. My mind started going haywire as I started wondering, what in the world am I going to do, and where am I going to go. When suddenly I heard a voice, a faint voice at first, which became louder, and louder, until I realized that the voice was coming from inside the old lighthouse. Just on the other side of the door that I had been leaning on. As I slowly put my ear up to the cold metal door, the voice from within said, “Open the door and come inside Mason Williams.”

My curiosity had overwhelmed me and I decided to go inside to see whom the voice belonged too that I was hearing. The old steel door hinges must have rusted a bit over the years due to the exposure to the salt from the spray of the ocean, as it made the most horrendous sound, screeching loudly as I slowly opened it, further and further, until I was able to walk inside. Once inside the old lighthouse I called out, “Who are you, and what do you want with me?”

I made my way to the bottom of the old winding steel staircase of the lighthouse when I heard an awful screeching sound, which ended up being the old steel door of the lighthouse mysteriously closing, somehow by itself, when I heard a voice again, “I am up here Mason.”

Up until now, I was only being led by my curiosity. However, now my curiosity had vanished, and I was really nervous, and did not know what to do, but for some unknown reason I still decided to follow the voice that I was hearing. Therefore, I slowly and carefully started making my way up the rusty winding staircase, up to the top of the lighthouse. When I finally made it to the top of the staircase, I noticed a glimmer of light, but wondered what could be creating the source of light that I was seeing, as the old lighthouse was no longer operational. It had not been for as long as I could remember. Therefore, where could it be coming from?

As I slowly made my way closer to the radiating light a figure started to appear, and came more into focus, as I got nearer. I stopped and my jaw dropped wide open, as I stood frozen in time, so it seemed, as I could now make out the figure that was within the radiating light. It was what I thought to be an angel, good or evil I did not know. However, I hoped that it was one of the good Watchers. However, at this particular moment I did not know. As soon as I had enough courage to speak out, the angel spoke, breaking the silence.

“Mason Williams, you have grown into a fine young man, and now it is time for you to fulfill your destiny.”

I replied, “Who are you, and what destiny do I have to fulfill?”

“I am Ambriel, and your destiny is to rid this planet from all its evil before my advanced extraterrestrial species has to intervene.”

“Ambriel, what will happen if your advanced species has to intervene to rid the evil from this planet?”

“Mason, you need to know that if we have to intervene we will destroy the entire human species on this planet, as we have done in the past.”

“How on earth am I alone supposed to stop all the evil on this planet? There is no way that one person can accomplish this task alone.”

“You will not be alone Mason, you will have all the help you need when you are in need of it. I am here before you to give you the knowledge that you need to know about the Hierarchy of the Watchers.
