The Protector(Short Story 5)

   The golden eyes stood out in the dark of the night. I knew it was her, it had to be. No one else was like her, nothing was. Her golden eyes of wisdom, surrounded of a face of immortality. Her golden hair shines every time I see her.
   She seems as if she has finally found happiness in her lonely world that’s free of the chains of time. I am but man; she is one of the Immortals, what could she see in me?
   ”Hey,” she said.
   ”Hey,” I said back, not knowing what to say. I go with the foolish, “You called?”
   ”Yes, I need your help. Something is after me, something beyond my power. I can’t defeat it alone,” she said. I can see the fear in her timeless eyes.
   ”Okay, I’ll help. What are we up against?” I asked.
   ”One of the Remains. He has searched the ends of the world and time for me, and now he has found me. I need your help to fight him.”
   ”I am a human, you are one of the Immortals. I have no power. How could I help?” I said. I wanted to help but I didn’t know what to do.
   ”You live, you are alive with mortal life. That is the greatest weapon against Remains, You can…AH!” she shrieks.
   A dark grey figure appears from the mist. “I’ve found you, my love,” he said.
   ”I was never your love. I never will be. Go back to the depths of the shadows,” She said to him.
   I didn’t know what was coming over me. I ran at him with my hands holding a fist. A sword appeared and I stabbed him. He screeched and then disappeared.
   ”Thank you,” She said. Then she kissed me and time slowed for me. I wasn’t human anymore. I was now an Immortal Protector. Half human and half Immortal.
