By Rene Darker

Fergus was a small cottage lad who had lived his whole life in the Hidden Gully. Unfortunately for Fergus, his most close family member passed. With this, unknown phenomena began to take place. Winds, images, and the hearing of silent words. With such events, these prompted Fergus to explore deeper, where he will discover something legendary. As all was evolving, Fergus was fortunate enough to discover many new lands and a few good folks, but what was of importance, was how he harmonized the universe for the betterment of the people.

Obligors.

                                          Chapter Three.

The two Moons were moving through the night sky. One above the other. The reflections from both made the skies illuminate. In a rare display of different colors; red, and blue shimmers. This was a very infrequent event. Fergus was fortunate enough to witness some falling spheres. All being of beautiful rainbow colors, which was emerging from the Moon’s lights. They appeared to be falling only a short distance away.

    Fergus knew, once the falling spheres touch the ground, they would become cold. They would then change into ‘Obligors’. The Obligors received their name because of the word ‘Obligor’. It was when one takes on an obligation to another where they form a pact. So, on discovering an Obligor, they form a life contract to those who find them. 

    Fergus took a burning stake from the cottages fire. So, he could see where he was walking throughout the cold, balmy darkness. He rushed in haste from the cottage with much excitement. Running as fast as his legs would take him. While also hoping no-one else saw the spheres falling in the night’s darkness. 

   It would have to have been a short time when he reached, where he thought the Obligors may have landed. He stood still for a moment while wiping the sweat from his brow. The evening was not as dark as usual, with the two Moons high in the night sky. But for some reason. Fergus felt as though someone may have been watching his movements. Yet, this did not discourage Fergus from his search. Unfortunately, after searching for some time, Fergus found nothing. This left him to feel gloomy and disappointed. He then began to track back to his cottage. 

    On his walk back amidst the night, Fergus now began to feel alone. He was thankful with the feeling of him being watched, was passing. Something more began to concern Fergus though. He could hear a rustle in the shrubs ahead. Again, this made him question how someone may still be watching him, causing much concern. But deep down, he knew how the boundaries of the Gully were some of the safest you could walk. Any time of the day or night. And after all, Fergus did not see a soul. No-one at
