Part 1

Neon and Hyru were in Hurrenell. A good friend of Hyru lived there. Electra, a resident at the lighthouse overlooking the bay of Hurrenell. They had dropped by for a visit. They climbed the winding path up to the lighthouse when a voice called out to them.

“No Enemy Shall Pass Here” It was a small child. Neon stared at it.

“Rune! Stop pestering visitors” a voice shouted. Around the corner came a woman. “I’m terribly sorry. Rune has a thing about scaring away visitors”

“Electra! Its good to see you!”

“Hyru! How are you!”

“I’m fine! Oh, by the way, this is my friend Neon!” the small group headed up to the lighthouse, the girls talking all the way. Rune walked beside Neon. He was staring evilly at him. Neon was doing his best to ignore the stare, but the kid didn’t seem to realise he was supposed to blink. Hyru and Electra were talking about Electra’s life. It seemed that she took in orphaned kids around the nearby towns and looked after them at the lighthouse. There were eight children there now, including Rune. That stare was really getting on Neon’s nerves. Electra lived on her own apart from the kids. It seemed that some of the children were unusual in some aspects. Rune was giving Neon a disturbing smile on top of the stare now. As they approached the lighthouse Electra turned to Hyru.

“Actually, I’m glad you’ve shown up. Can I ask a huge favour of you? I need someone to look after the children, because I need to leave town for a while.” The kid was still staring at Neon with the creepy smile.

“Of course we can look after them! Why do you need to leave town?”

“Oh, I need to renew my lighthouse license to look after the children. The town is three days walk away though. Are you sure?” Neon couldn’t ignore the stare, no matter how hard he tried.

“Absolutely, we’d be honoured to!”

“Oh thank you so much! This really means a lot to me!” Why didn’t the kid ever blink! 
Electra talked Hyru through the different children’s needs. She introduced them all. Neon felt he was going to snap if the kid didn’t stop staring soon. Besides Rune, there were seven others. Lillith, Marno, Aslo, Domino, Relicani, Pyro, and Krylo. As far as Neon was concerned, they were all little weirdoes, from what Electra told them. Lillith was obsessed with death and destruction, Marno was a walking accident, Aslo, well, he seemed normal, Domino who was afraid of everything, Relicani was forever trying to call upon spirits, demons and the like, and Pyro and Krylo, the twins, well, one of them was obsessed with fire and the other was obsessed with water. And then of course there was Rune, who wouldn’t stop staring at Neon. The child who wouldn’t blink!! Neon wasn’t looking forward to the following days at all. His sanity seemed to walk out the door and run off with Electra. He turned back to the lighthouse, dreading the task laid before him.
