Mikhail had stood in the room of his parent and there was almost clear. He looked at his around surprisedly and touched the walls. After a few moments, he wanted to move, but suddenly he heard a voice from outside. Mikhail ran toward the courtyard and looked at there, but nobody was there. The sky was clear and the moon was shining. Mikhail went toward the ruined wall and looked at the garden.
There was dark and a strange voice was heard from there, a voice which was from a chain. Mikhail pressed to his eyes and suddenly the dark became almost clear and he saw two long chains on the ground which was trailing toward the dark. Mikhail moved slowly toward it as was scaring, but he wanted to see someone.
The sounds of the chains were loud as the ground was covered of the grass. When he became close to it, he saw surprisedly that the chains were bloody. Mikhail became worried and caught the end of one of the chain, suddenly his hand locked by it and the chain trailed quickly as Mikhail fell on the ground and trailed. Mikhail was moving quickly among the trees while had become frightened and he could not do anything, until he hit to a tree and stopped as he had became unconscious.
After a while, Mikhail opened his eyes hardly as his body was aching badly. He had not become sober yet and his visibility was almost dark. After a few moments, he heard a loud sound which was from a scissors and it was from the dark side of the garden. Mikhail looked at his hand hardly and did not see the chain, but when he moved a little he felt that his right leg is heavy and when looked at it, he saw the bloody chain which had locked to his leg.
The sound of scissors was becoming loud and louder as had become annoying. Mikhail pressed to his eyes and his visibility became almost clear again and looked at the sound side. Suddenly he saw Anahita, who had stood near a tree and she was sniping her skirt. Mikhail looked at her aghast and got up frantic and he went toward her. But Anahita was freak as her thigh had become bloody but she was sniping yet.
Mikhail stopped aghast and wanted to call her, but Anahita turned slowly toward him and smiled while her eyes and face were bloody. She looked at Mikhail and said, “You like short dress.”
Mikhail wanted to say something but the same hybrid that was on the bed came quickly toward Anahita and attacked to her and killed her with the scissors while Mikhail had shocked and he could not move. The hybrid after killing Anahita, ran toward Mikhail as was very angry.
The hybrid hit to Mikhail's belly with kick as he was thrown backward and at the same time, the space changed as Mikhail fell on the ground of the cemetery. Mikhail was breathing badly and he was shocked yet. He was scaring badly because he knew that was not his nightmare, but that could not be real. Mikhail looked at his around. There was nobody and everywhere was silent and mysterious. Mikhail looked at his leg and the chain had locked to it yet.
The chain had entered to the Key Holder's house. Mikhail was scaring to go there, but he went because he had not any way. When he entered to the house, there was luminous but nobody was at there. The chain had entered to the basement, but when Mikhail went toward there suddenly heard a sound cry which was from the second floor. Mikhail became worried and ran toward the sound while he also was scaring.
When he reached there, he saw a door which was open. The sound had become louder and Mikhail knew that he must go in the room. Mikhail opened the door slowly and looked at the room which was almost dark and there was only a lamp, but the sound was from the dark side of the room. There was Key Holder’s bedroom. Mikhail entered to the room as had very bad feeling and he was scaring. He looked at the dark ad said, “Who is there?!”
At once the sound became silent and someone moved toward him. Mikhail had gazed at the dark while he could hear his heartbeat. After few moment, thirty-seven-years-old Mojgan came out of the dark while her face was wet and she had worn beautiful dress. Mojgan went toward Mikhail and hugged him and kissed him and said, “Only you are worry about me.”
Mikhail looked at her and erased her tears and said, “Please don't cry. You must escape from here soon!”
But Mojgan fondled his face and said sadly, “He want to marry again! But I'm still young and pretty yet”
Mikhail said surprisedly, “You are so beautiful. Just leave here now!”
suddenly they heard a sound from down and Mikhail looked frantic at the room and when he saw the bed, got her hand and went toward it, but at once the door broke and the hybrid came in the room and Mojgan threw Mikhail on the bed and the hybrid attacked to her with his scissors. Mikhail wanted frightened to get up, but suddenly the chain trailed and he moved toward out while the hybrid was killing Mojgan. Mikhail trailed fast toward the basement as he could not do anything.
Mikhail threw from the stairs and hit to the wall while was breathing hardly. There was dark and Mikhail was dizzy badly. Mikhail got up frantic and looked at his around as was pressing to his eyes. When his visibility became almost clear, he saw Hailey, who had become chain at the wall as her dress and face were bloody and its chain had locked to Mikhail's foot. Hailey looked at him and said sadly, “Please kill me.”
Mikhail looked at her aghast and said, “What?! What is this?! This is not my nightmare!”
But Hailey said again, “Please, kill me.”
Suddenly a lot of water entered to the basement while the hybrid was inside it. The hybrid caught Hailey and attacked to her with the scissors as the intense flow of water did not let to Mikhail till he could move toward her and soon he drowned in the water.
Mikhail swam hardly and came out of the water, but he saw himself at the rivulet, outside the village. Mikhail came out quickly and ran toward the big stone. When he arrived to the stone, sat and inserted his hand inside the hole and brought out his ring and put it in his finger and stared at it, but it did not become blue.
At this moment the hybrid's hand came out of the hole as Mikhail was thrown backward from fear and ran while the hybrid was coming out of the hole. Mikhail ran toward the hamlet and the hybrid was following him. Finally he could enter to the hamlet as the moon had cleared the sky.
Inside the hamlet was completely empty and cold and neither of the houses had the door. Mikhail went in one of the houses and hid quickly inside a room at the dark. There was completely silent as he could hear his heartbeat which was fast. Mikhail had not good feeling and after a few seconds, he heard a breath voice at the corner of the room which was becoming close to him slowly.
Mikhail jumped out of the room and stood in the courtyard while had gazed at the room with fear. A few moments later, a bloody, girlie hand came out slowly of the dark as was moving crawl. Mikhail was looking at her terrified and went a little back. A girl who was coming out of the room was Jill as her dress was bloody and she had a scary situation.
When Jill entered to the courtyard, she got up slowly and looked at Mikhail while her face was bloody and scary. She moved toward Mikhail but he ran fast and came out of the home. At the alley, he saw the hybrid and ran as he did not know that he must escape from whom. Mikhail went inside another home which had a well. Mikhail went toward it but when looked at inside it scared and went back.
When the hybrid entered to the home, he ran toward the wall and jumped and went out of there. Mikhail was running among the alleys while was scaring to enter to any house.
Suddenly he fell sorely on the ground as his head hit to the ground and became bloody. When Mikhail looked terrified at his feet, saw aghast his right leg had caught by the hybrid’s hand which was under the ground. Mikhail took out his leg and got up quickly as the hybrid was coming out of under the ground.
Mikhail ran and ran until finally went inside a house which had a small pool in the center of courtyard. The water of pool was bloody, but Mikhail went inside it and when he heard a voice of feet, went under the water. After a while, Mikhail came out slowly from the water, but saw aghast the house had changed and many men were in the courtyard as some of them had worn black clothes and they had sword but the other were rural men who had agriculture equipments and was
defending from themselves with those.
But the black men were killing them brutally and the pool was full of the rural corpses. Mikhail was looking at them as had shocked. Suddenly one of the black men saw him and attacked to him and Mikhail went under the water. But he could not stay there much and came out of the water and the house had become like its first.
But this time, Jill had sat in the water and was staring at him. Mikhail jumped from the water and ran terrified and he went out of the home. At the alley he saw three stones which were almost big and ran toward those stones and removed them. This time when he saw the hybrid with his bloody scissors, stood and took a deep breath and threw one of the stones toward him as it hit to his head and the hybrid lost his control. Mikhail threw quickly another stone and it hit to his head again as this time the hybrid fell on the ground and Mikhail ran toward him and jumped on him.
Mikhail removed the scissors and hit several times to the hybrid's chest as his hands became bloody and his ring started to become blue. When Mikhail tired of hitting, took several breaths and looked at his ring. But suddenly he saw Jill near himself.
Mikhail got up quickly and ran while he did not know where he must hide. He went inside a house which had a well and ran toward it and this time he jumped into the well. The well had water as Mikhail did not hurt and he came out of under the water and looked to the sky as was breathing badly.
The moon was up of the well and there was clear. When Mikhail became a little calm looked at his ring which had become blue. But the water was bloody and it wasn't good at all. Soon he heard a voice from under the water and he wanted to escape, but he could not, because the well was big and its wall was slippery.
Mikhail was looking terrified to the water as something was coming up from the water. Soon the water became black and he saw tall hair which was coming up slowly and he saw Jill, who was looking at him with her scary face. Jill went toward him, but Mikhail stretched quickly his right hand toward her as his ring had become shining. Jill stopped and looked at the ring and Mikhail said terrified, “I swear. I came to help you. But I can't.”
At this time, the blue light of his ring became more and Jill's face started to change. Mikhail said again, “I don't know that what happened! But I'm not abhorrer from you.”
Jill's face became normal and she smiled and said, “I know. You are a good boy. Please forgive me.”
Suddenly the light of the ring became very much as there became completely blue.

The red smoke disappeared and Hoshea took a deep breath and looked at the hybrid’s eyes which were red and then said, “End.”
Chiram looked to Mikhail and said, “Is he ok?!”
Hoshea, “He is just unconscious.”
Chiram hugged him and they disappeared and then they appeared near the pit. Chiram went toward his motorcycle as his face became smiling again. Shamira had stood near the motorcycle anxiously and when she saw them ran toward them and said, “Is he ok?!”
Chiram smiled and said, “Yes honey. Don’t worry.”
Shamira sat backside the motorcycle and Chiram put Mikhail’s head on her thigh. Chiram kissed her and turned on his motorcycle and flew. After a while, Mikhail opened his eyes and sat far from Shamira in a corner of the motorcycle. When Shamira wanted to say something, Mikhail put his finger on his lips and said, “Please don’t say anything. Just give me my ring.”
Shamira tried to smile and gave it to him. Mikhail kissed the ring and put it in his finger and when it became blue he looked at around as was trying to don’t think to anything. After a while they arrived to mountainous area which Mitra had stood there alone. Chiram landed very badly again near her, but this time it wasn’t important for anybody. Mitra went quickly toward Mikhail and said, “Are you alright?!”
But Chiram said sooner, “Yes honey.”
At the same time Mitra and Shamira said angrily, “Shut up!”
Mikhail looked at them surprisedly and said, “Where is here?!”
Mitra looked at him and smiled and said, “Here is your new house. Give his ring to Shamira and come with me.”
Mikhail looked at Shamira but before he could say something, Shamira said, “You can't to have these.”
Mikhail, “Why?!”
Mitra looked at Shamira angrily and said, “Because nobody should know you.”
Mikhail said surprisedly, “For what?!!”
Shamira looked at Mitra and said angrily, “Well, I told him some things.”
Mitra said angrily, “I can guess.”
Chiram looked at Mikhail and said, “You must not to have your ring, because everyone want to use you and your mother did not want this.”
Shamira went beside Mikhail and kissed him and side, “It is just yours, and you will have it.”
Mikhail looked at his ring and said sadly, “But I can't live without it!”
Shamira fondled his face and said, “You can. You have us, and later you will have it.”
Mitra got his hand and said, “All of these are your mother's requests.”
Mikhail took a deep breath and said, “Ok. I will do anything for my mother.”
Mitra smiled and said, “Good boy. So come with me.”
Mikhail gave his ring to Shamira and said, “So, give me my gloves.”
Shamira, “No! It’s girlie and they will mock you!”
Mikhail, “I don’t care.”
Shamira said angrily, “But I care!”
Mitra looked surprisedly at the gloves and said, “You can’t have this now. Maybe later.”
Mikhail took a deep breath and said, “If you lose this, I never forgive you.”
Shamira became sad and said, “I promise.”
Mikhail dismounted from the motorcycle as Shamira looked at him sadly. Mikhail looked at Chiram and went with Mitra and Chiram flew. After a while Mitra looked at Mikhail and said, “Don’t worry honey. There is a boarding school. I want to tell them you are a relative of Abraham. You must not tell them who know us and never must speak about the ring with them. You must not trust to someone, except the persons that I tell you. Do you understand?”
Mikhail thought a little and said, “Yes I guess.”
Mitra smiled and said, “It is not hard. You can’t tell about your family, except us and the ring. Just this.”
Mikhail, “Ok.”
Mitra stopped and said, “Wait.”
Mitra took out a very small, yellow globe from her pocket and she pressed it and after a few moments, they heard a sound of moving something and then some part of the ground opened and they saw a white way which was downhill and they went down together. After a few seconds the ground moved again and the entrance way closed and suddenly several small, luminous globes appeared at two side of the way. Mitra got his hand and kissed him and said, “I must be like a stranger with you at there.”
Mikhail looked at her and said, “No problem.”
But Mitra became sad and said, “Why you hate me yet?! I'm sorry for that. But I like you even more than her.”
Mikhail took a deep breath and said, “I'm sorry. I'm not abhorrer from you or anybody. But I’m confused very much yet!”
Mitra smiled and said, “Ok. I know that what you say. Let’s go.”
Mikhail was looking at around and he was moving with Mitra in silence, until they arrived to a great, luminous space which was like a parking and many motorcycle were in there and seven watchmen had stood beside seven white doors. Mitra went toward one of the doors and its guard opened the door with respect and side, “The white witch be lasting.”
Mitra, “The white witch be lasting.”
Then they entered in the room. There was a small room which had nothing except a big, golden mirror. Mikhail had gotten his head down and had not good feeling. The mirror was strange as their picture was not reflecting in it. After a few moments, a mannish head called Philip, who had disheveled hair, appeared in the mirror and when he saw Mitra said happily, “Wow! Golden girl. You are welcome.”
Mitra said seriously, “Thank you. I want to see Lord Richard.”
At this time, Mikhail raised his head and looked at the mirror. When Philip saw him shocked as his mouth was open. Mitra looked at them surprisedly and said, “What?!”
Philip smiled hardly and said, “Nothing. Just I thought he should be Carlos.”
Mitra said seriously, “No. please just take us inside.”
Philip looked at Mikhail and said, “What is your name boy?”
Mikhail, “I'm Mikhail.”
Philip smiled and as had gazed at him, said, “So interesting! Is he a survivor?!”
Mitra said coldly, “No. He is Abraham’s relative.”
Philip smiled and disappeared. Soon the room started to move till after a few seconds stopped and Mitra opened the door and they went out. Outside of the room was a road which was going to a great, princely boarding school which was near a great forest. Mikhail looked at his back and the room disappeared. Mitra took a deep breath and said, “Well, everything will begin now.”
