Red, Blue, Purple and Green were having a day of rest. The four women, known as The Protectors were the rulers of their world.

They enforced the laws and each one came from a family of Protectors with the same abilities. Red’s family line were generally the fiercest of all the Protectors, they all could sense danger. Purple’s family line were rulers, they could read thoughts. Greens family were healers and they were called on when the doctors of the village couldn’t save someone. Blue’s family were the calmers and could view the past. Each family came together to rule their world and keep their people safe.

Each week they spent a day doing what could be described as training and worship. They had just circled a small fire and were kneeling in prayer when Red looked up to the sky. Purple sensing Reds’ thoughts raised her head as well turned to Red and asked, “What is it?”

“Trouble,” Red said. “In the forest.”

The Protectors gathered their things and made their way to the forest.
They soon came to a small clearing and where a girl lying on her side on the forest floor moaning and sobbing. Her body shaking so hard the grass and leaves around her rustled. The protectors moved slowly forward.

“Who is it?” Red asked.

“I don’t know,” Blue replied and cautiously walked over to the girl and knelt next to her.

Green followed Blue saying, “be careful, we don’t know who she is or if she is a danger to us.”

“She’s hurt,” Blue said. “Not dangerous.”
