ong before Christ was born, the Word created everything. While
he was busy creating the universe, an evil presence was lurking in the
midst.
After the Word finished with a planet, he called Earth; he caught sight of
this evil and banished it to his newly created world.
The presence was kept locked up for centuries, until one day it broke free
to take revenge for what the Word did to it…
Zidane Lavoie was on his way home from school, when James Desmond slowed
by and asked, “Hey, need a lift?”
“No. I am just going to walk home.” Zidane said.
“Ok. Listen there’s this party tonight to celebrate summer. I want you
to come.”
“Sure. Pick me up at 6:30. Later.”
“Later.”
James drove off and Zidane stopped, put his booksack down, opened it up,
and grabbed his Discman. He had Metallica in it. He put the headphones on
his ears and pressed play. Closed his bag, pick it up, and started to walk
home. When he got home, he unlocked the door and stepped inside. Zidane
drops his books at the door and pressed play on the answer machine. He has
two new messages and one old.
“Hey man. Don’t forget I will pick you up at 6:30. Please don’t bring
your Discman. Later.”
The other two was for his mother. He walked to his room and put Alice in
Chains in his CD player. He got out of his uniform and put on some baggie
jeans and a Metallica shirt. He put on some socks and his Airwalk shoes
then went into the kitchen. He got himself a piece of Devil’s Food cake and
went back into his room. He found his old booksack and grabbed his Discman
and his CD wallet. Then he put them in his booksack.
There was a knock at his door, so he went out of his room and down
stairs. When he got to the door, he opened it. James was waiting at his
door.
“It’s about time. Are you ready to go?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you bringing that damn bag?”
“Because I may need it.”
“Okay. Shall we go?”
The two boys drove for about a half an hour until they arrived at Miranda
Mathis’s house. Zidane couldn’t believe that he was requested to be at this
party. The boys went into the two-story home. There were beer bottles
everywhere. Some big football player gave them a beer but the boys only
wanted Dr. Pepper instead. They started to go around together until James
found his girlfriend. Zidane went outside by the swimming pool, laid down
on the swing, and started to listen to his CD player when Miranda came out
to greet him.
“Hey.” She said.
“Hi.” He said as he fell off the swing.
“Didn’t mean to startle you. Why are you sitting outside by yourself?”
She said.
“I don’t really know. I guest I am use to being alone.” He said.
“So, what are you listening to?” She asked. “I am list…” He started to
say when Ben Wenton interrupted him.
“What do you think you are doing talking to my girlfriend!” He said
drunkenly.
“I was talking to him, Ben. Besides, we broke up.” She said.
“When?” He demanded.
“Don’t scream at her.” Zidane said.
“What are you going to do? Beat me up. Ha Ha Ha!” Ben said with a
grin. Ben started to walk towards Zidane but something was wrong with
Zidanes’ body. It was glowing blue and he had blue fire in his hand. Then
all of a sudden, Zidane shot the blue fire and hit Ben head-on in his chest.
Ben flew into the pool. Nobody moved. Then they all looked at Zidane who
had passed out from this weird blue flame and glow.
Zidane is on a hillside, somewhere in a type of forest. In front
of him is a black hooded man, women or ghost of some kind.
“Welcome Zidane. I am a Druid from 980 A.D. You have finally awakened.
You were born with magic in your blood. You are part elf but no one should
know about this. You are needed to save the world from an evil presence but
you are not alone. There are three more of you who will be present. You
should know all of them and when the time comes you four will be the only
ones left for this journey. My time has expired so I shall let you wake
now.”
Zidane woke up and looked around. “Where am I?” He asked.
“You are at my home. We couldn’t bring you home last night so we brought
you into the guestroom. My parents are out of town on a second honeymoon.”
Miranda said.
‘What happened last night?’ he wondered. One minute he and Ben were
somewhat arguing over something he didn’t know and the next Ben flew into
the pool from a blue fire in his hand. The dream had told him that it was
magic and he was to save the world from some evil presence.
“Are you all right? When I saw you hit Ben with that blue light and pass
out I thought you had died or something. What was it any way?” She asked.
“Huh. Oh, I don’t know. You were worried about me or something. I
thought you type of people don’t even talk to us or think of us. This must
be a dream or something because this cannot be true. Last night didn’t
happen and right now isn’t happening because this is only a dream.” He
rambled on.
“Are you ok?” She asked.
“Huh. Oh, yes I’m fine. I am so sorry for making you care about me. I
will be going. Thanks for everything.” He said. He started to get up
when, Miranda stopped him.
“You shouldn’t get up after what happened last night.” She said.
“I’m ok.” He said as he got up. “I think I am going to go home now.”
“Ok, but I am going to walk with you in case you fall or something. Is
that alright with you?”
“Yea, but don’t trouble yourself.” Zidane and Miranda walk out of the
house and started towards his house.
“Do you know what happened last night?” She asked.
“No. I had a weird dream though. Something about how I will be the only
one to save the world. I’m not sure what to make of it. Listen to me
babbling away and you probably don’t want to hear any of this.” He said.
“No. Go on. I find it kinda interesting.”
“Ok. In my dream, a old man from 980 A.D. told me that I will need to
save the world. Well this is my house. Thank you again for everything.
Would you like to come in?”
“Sure, why not.”
“Ok.” He said. Zidane opened the door and they walked in. “Would you
like a tour?”
“I would love one.” She said. As they walked around the house, the air
began to become warm and while Zidane didn’t notice it, Mirandas’ hair
started to change from light orange to a dark red. Her eyes were becoming
reddish and her body temperature was rising slowly. As they got to the
living room, she turned and said, “Zidane, we need to talk.” As he looked
at her, he saw that she was different from a few minutes ago.
“Ok. Is something wrong?” he asked.
“No, not at all. It’s about your dream. It is true. I was waiting for
you. I have been reincarnated so many times until I met you. I am a human
but I have power over fire. I am what you call a fire elementalist. I will
not harm you but I can harm others if I like. I have waited for you because
I am to help you deal with this evil creature.”
Zidane could only stare in disbelief. “This can’t be happening. Then
last night was real?”
“Yes. Very much. You are our last hope. I will be with you untill we
are finish to help guide and direct you. We must hurry and find your friend
and mine. They are the other two we will need. Are you ready?”
“I guess so.” He said.
She came up to his face, to the point where they were about to touch
lips. “Don’t worry. I will not let anything harm you, I promise.” As she
said that, she kissed him and he could feel the heat coming from her body.
They got up and left the house. As they walked to James’ house, all he
could think of was how this girl had affected him. She was beautiful, but
deadly. He just felt so attracted to her, that he would risk his life, for
some reason, just to save hers. They reached James’ house in about a hour
and told him the story. James, too, couldn’t believe them in the beginning.
As they were leaving the house, Regina, Miranda’s friend, came and met
them. There was something different about her. Her hair had turned silver
and her eyes were blue. As they shook hands, the guys could feel that she
was cold. James had took a liking to her the night before. They started to
walk north on Allsop St. and then took a left going east on Washington Ave.
As they proceeded, James and Zidane were walking behind the two girls and
started to whisper to each other.
“Hey. So, what do you think of all of this?” James asked.
“To be honest, I have no clue as to what is happening. Last night, did
happen and after that experience, I believe in this at the moment.” Zidane
said.
“Do you even know what happened last night?” James asked.
“I only remember a little. I know I did something to Ben, but I do not
know what I did.” Zidane said.
“Its simple.” Miranda said. “You have magic. I know it is hard to
believe, but James has some too.”
James looked at Regina and Miranda with a startled look. “What do you
mean I have magic too?” He asked.
“You have the same thing as Zidane does. Except that you can turn into
animals instead. That is what Regina is here for. She will protect and
help you. She has the power over ice. You two are our last hope.” Miranda
said.
The two guys looked at each other in disbelief. As they did, the girls
noticed it. The girls waited until they were even with the guys, put their
arms around them and gave them a reassuring smile.
About a hour later, they saw that the sky was beginning to darken. “It
is almost time.” Regina said. After she said that, the guys noticed the
huge black things flying around. The guys then noticed that the girls body
temperatures were changing again.
About fifteen minutes later, one of the black things charged them. In a
blink of an eye, Regina took James left and Miranda took Zidane right.
Regina and James hid in a house. “Ok. Listen to me, Miranda and Zidane
will go and take on the evil creature. We on the other hand will take care
of the flying things. I need you to change yourself into a dragon if
possible. Do you think you can do that?”
“I don’t know if I can. I will try.” James said. She backed off from
him to give him the room he will need if he did it. All of a sudden, a
blinding green light suddenly appeared and James did some how did it. He
was actually a black dragon. Regina sent a blast of ice into a wall and
shattered the whole wall so James could fly off and dispose of the
creatures. Regina on the other hand, started to change all over. Her skin
turned bluish-white and ran out of the house to assist James. James had
already taken out two of them and was about to be sideswiped but Regina
threw a blast of ice into the creature and frozen it in place. The creature
fell to the ground and shattered when it hit the street.
While this was taking place, Zidane and Miranda were running to the huge
black castle. They stopped before the entrance to it, Miranda pulled Zidane
to the side of it. “Listen, we don’t have time for me to explain, but I
want you to make us invisible. Don’t doubt yourself about this. I know you
can do this.”
Zidane did what he was told. All he did was think of them being
invisible and he was being pulled into the castle. As they raced up, all of
the guards did not see them. Zidane was amazed that he did it, that he
actually did it. When they got to the top floor, there was a man sitting in
a chair. As they approached, he said, “I know you are there, show yourself.
I am not stupid. I felt your spirit Miranda.”
Zidane released the spell and they reappeared. The man stood up and as he
did, he began to change himself. Zidane noticed this and at the same time
felt his side begin to warm. As he looked over he could see that Miranda’s
body had turn red like fire and her eyes were gone and in the place was
fire. As he looked back at the man, he was a black creature that was no
longer human. Then he felt something stir in him, and he knew exactly what
that meant. He let the power overwhelm him and as he looked at himself, he
was glowing blue all over and there was this sound. He stepped to the left
a little and as he did, the creature charged Miranda. Zidane knew that
Miranda was no match for this thing, so he went into a rage. Zidane threw a
ball of blue fire and hammered it into the creature. The creature was
caught by surprise but was then pushing the blue fire back with his own red
fire. Zidane was losing but then all of a sudden, he released a new wave of
attack and as he did this, his eyes were gone and turned blue with power.
The creature couldn’t handle this new attack and screamed in horror as it
overwhelmed him. In a few seconds, the battle was over.
Zidane stopped the blue flame and was breathing heavily. Miranda was
back to normal as well. She walked over to him and hugged him. “Thank you
for your help. The earth is safe now and we owe it all to you and James.
As she let go, James and Regina walked in the chamber and met up with the
two of them.
“Lets go home.” Zidane said. As they walked home, the sun was setting
in the horizon.
The threat was not over with though. The evil creature did
perish but his brother was always there. He was watching in the shadows as
Zidane killed his brother. He vowed to get revenge for the murder of his
brother.
