I opened my eyes, where was I? Who was I? I saw 2 people looking at me, a man and a woman, the boy looked older than the woman - they also looked like they were in thier 90s or 80s - I crawled back think that they could hurt me. One of them whispered something to the other person then finally said
“Don’t worry. We won’t hurt you. Infact we are the ones who keep you safe - your parents.” although I didn’t know who they were apart from their role I felt I could trust them. They opened a door and fresh air started to fill the house, which was looking like it was going to break literally. I walked outside with them. The man put his hand on my shoulder and said
“What is your name?” I had no answer I knew the name of my surroundings but not myself - it was very confusing. I shook my head after a wasteful 13 seconds and the man whispered something to the woman, they both smiled at me. “Listen son.” said the man, though is still didn't trust him, while putting his hand on my shoulder which wasn't uncomfortable at all! “Eveyone in this world has a sort of ‘POWER’ you have one too,” he continued “Thus, me and your mom will help you awaken it. Okay?” I nodded my head to act like I was understanding it. My ‘parents’ led me to the back of the house, which was a beautiful garden, and I saw 3 dummies.
“Go ahead.” said the woman “try and hit it.” it tried to hit it from far range but it didn't work so I ran up to it and decided to punch it, thinking I was done, i sat on the ground trying to understand all of this.
“Your not done yet! You haven't broken all of the 3 dummies!” shouted the man. It was very awkward. So I tried and tried and tried but couldn't even break the first one.
“It’s hopeless!” I told them after I tried for about 15 minutes “I can’t do it!” not only that but my arm and leg was aching with pain - note they were wooden dummies. The woman shook her head.
“Mabye this was another failed experiment?” she asked the man, who answered back saying
“Even if so, we don’t have anymore.” I raised an eyebrow.
“Failed experiment? What do you mean...” I narrowed my eyebrows. Was I possibly an experiment? The man and woman quickly switched to a happy state and the woman said
“No, No. I mean the dummies. Your not breaking them.” she explained. She put her hand on my face and I couldn't breathe! This was a trap after all! I started to feel dizzy and sleepy and then-
[ ??? HOURS LATER ]
I woke up, in the house this time, and stretched my arms and legs.
But where were they - the man and the woman.
“Oh Jayden your awake already. Well come on we don’t have much time! You must leave in about 3 hours!” said the man from behind me as he grabbed my arm and pulled me outside to the garden once again.
“This? I’ve already tried this! And I didn't break a single one!” I protested.
“This time try picking up a leaf and think of taking an attribute from the leaf for example: weakness and put it on the dummies.” said the woman while also ignoring me.
I picked a leaf and held it up and thought of taking the softness from the leaf and when I opened my eyes...I saw letters saying “Softness” in my hands, without realizeing it I put the word on the dummy and the word sort-of sank into the dummy. I tried punching it and it was pretty easy, by that I mean it only took me 10 hits to break instead of who knows what.
“Bravo! Bravo. But now my child you must leave! Immediately!” he whispered to me. “Try and obtain heaven my son, try hard and do succeed, for we have sacrificed for this event to happen.” he spoke with panic like a life or death situation and he dragged me and went inside the house. I tried to think again about what happend...I woke up and then this happend...he can back just then and gave me a peice of paper that read: ‘Go to Yoishamire,’ and then he closed the door. What was going on! First training now...running away? I saw a person that was carrying a bowl on his head filled with apples and bananas and oranges. I ran to him and asked
“Excuse me, do you know where Yoishamire is?” he stared to fall but I held onto him, he smiled at me, I noticed that he was my age - guessing on height.
“Yoishamire? I think that's to the north. That's all I know. Wait, what are you going to do at Yoishamire?” he asked curiously.
“My ‘parents’ gave me a note saying that I should head to Yoishamire.” I paused “To obtain heaven or something.” as soon as I said that he looked scared sort of.
“Your joking right?” he dropped his fruit but he didn't care.
“No, I'm not...is there something wrong?” I was very confused. “Aswell as that I think I have memory loss.” I added on.
He shook his head and then we noticed the sound of clicking and clacking. He picked the fruits and the bowl, grabbed my hand and we sprinted to a house that I inferred was his.
Inside the house looked nice it looked very cozy aswell. He dropped the fruit and bowl on the table.
“I see. Well I think I could help you. I've been looking for some action, aswell as that I haven't awakened my power yet.” he as down and sighed. “You say you have memory loss eh? Strange. I live alone my parents died a few weeks back.” he started to sob for a split second. “Alright then, let's wear some proper clothes then we’ll leave.” he opened a door leading upstrairs I obviously followed him until we reached another door, which he also opened, revealing a bedroom. The closet was the important part though.
[ 6 MINUTES LATER ]
After we'd gotten our clothes on we left the house. I saw people in armour with horses - some even riding them - they also held shields and swords. My new mysterious partner put his finger over his mouth and said shhh. We tiptoed past the people and reached a black and white dotted horse. He got on it and I got on the back of it and then we road north, I hoped.
“So. Your name?” I asked him politely.
“Its Kai.” he breathed in and out due to the coldness. Kai had a jacket I didn’t.
“Mine is....um...” then I just remembered I didn’t have one...but for some reason a name was sort of...calling out to me. “Mine is Jayden” he nodded slightly.
After a few minutes I could see a kingdom in the distance.
“When we reach Yoishamire you don’t have to buy a jacket for me. I have a plan...” I said sleepily. And then everything blacked out-
“Jayden wake up! We’re here.” said Kai as he shook me. I opened my eyes. It was nightime the sky was pitch black, I got of the horse and we parked it in the stable - after Kai talked to the person who owned it. Then we went into the inn. Kai did everything. Then we went to sleep...
