Closing the door behind me, I rush up to my master. He was sitting in the courtyard, mediating. I could see faint lightning rushing all over him, I sat and watched him in awe. The lightning suddenly became stronger and the lightning had made a faint image of a fox with a multiple tails dancing and jumping around. Its power was slowly covering every inch of the courtyard in it’s power. The power had forced to lay completely on the ground, I couldn’t even move my head up. Looking to my left I see all the flowers in the courtyard fine, still moving to the will of the wind.
The power kept on increasing and it started hurting. My brain was literally pushed against my skull, even my blood couldn’t go anywhere. I was suffocating and with the rest of my oxygen left in my lungs, I scream “Master, STOP!”. Something inside me had cracked…
My body seemed to move on it’s on. My hand had moved up and banged the ground, within a second the whole mansion seemed to be destroyed. I stand up to find a cage of lightning enclosing my master and with a smile on his face.
“HaHa!! My disciple is a genius!” On master’s face was huge smile plastered on it. He jumping around like he was a child again. We were currently inside the crater and it was about half a mile deep. But suddenly I black out, encased in a film of blackness.
I slowly open my eyes to here some voices which I couldn’t understand at the moment. There were three of them, and all of them were really old. They sat next to me as one the old man covered me in a green light and I was slowly feeling better. In about 20 minutes, the old man stopped and lean back, wiping the sweat on his forehead off.

I got slowly sat up and tried to get off the bed but I was stopped by my master.
“Don’t push yourself too hard my disciple” He was trying to act as solemn as possible but he couldn’t resist giving a grin.
“Master, who are these people?” I look around to see the old man who healed me and the old man siting next to my master. “These are my friends, the one that healed you was Arthur Kent, and the one siting right next to me is my very old friend Damon Night. They are both very famous across Fortana, so be very respectful.”
I look to Mr. Kent and say “Thank you very much!”. “It was nothing at all.” Mr. Kent sat up and left.
“Ah Master sorry to ask but why is he here?” I point over to the man sitting next to my Master. The man stands up and says “I work for the Creed Family and you were prospected to join us. I will be back in one year to get you so be prepared.” He suddenly disappeared, “Master who was he exactly?”. “He is representative for the Creed family, he was nearby and saw your power. Sorry kiddo, I can’t really stop him from taking you but within that year you’ll be with me all the time, time enough for a lifetime. You be so sick of me, you’ll beg to leave” His seemed to rub against each other mischievously.
This will be a long year I thought to myself.
