Shadow's story

Prologue

When I woke up it was an average Friday morning. I started my daily routine shower, eat, do any homework I missed, grab my stuff, get my bike, go back inside drag my brother Tyler out of bed, then leave knowing our mother would drop him off several minuets later.

I went through the average school day the three classes I like. Then gym where I outrun everyone except the girl who always beats me. I eat a lunch that I am pretty sure is about as nutritious as cat food, more classes, and finally cross-country. I run all day and then bike home knowing Tyler will be playing Tekkit when I get home. When I get home I realize that there is no car in the driveway or garage so I let myself in using my key I see a note from my mom not bothering to read it I feed my two dogs and my cat then call out for Tyler. When he doesn't respond I start checking my house until I see the computer left on with a page on alchemical transmutation bookmarked. I quickly read the page only stopping at the strange symbols when I hear Tyler come charging up the stairs from my basement. As soon as I hear him coming I slip into the closet next to the basement door and get ready to scare Tyler. When he flings the door open I jump out and scream at him causing him to yell loudly and run away screaming

"What the hell was that for Rook?!"

"for fun little bro" I reply

"well I almost crapped my pants when you did that" "and on another subject come here I want you to look at this" as he leads me to the computer I say

"yeah I already read that….trying to make gold are you"

"yeah we could be rich! We could get anything"

"well this doesn't really work" I said

With a grin Tyler says, "Oh really come look at this"

Tyler leads me into the basement where I se a circle with what look like scorch marks on the floor in the unfinished laundry room.

I say "Tyler did you burn the floor?! Mom's going to kill you"

"look in the middle" Tyler says

Sure enough in the middle a small rock is sitting

"what good does a rock do?"

"well check this diagram and make sure the symbols are correct" Tyler said while handing me a piece of paper

"what's this strange writing Tyler?" I ask pointing to a scribble to the side

"I don't know" says Tyler

"Ok well you misprinted that symbol to the left"

"No I didn't" yells Tyler "I checked that one three times"

"Ok.. Ok.. Ok.. Fine" "what is this supposed to do anyway"

"well sit on your knees and put your palms in these circles and I do the same on the other side"

As I sit down Tyler gets a book and begins saying strange words in a language I haven't heard before. Suddenly the circle begins to glow and lines begin to appear in the middle, I also lose the ability to move

"TYLER WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yell above the sound of wind that seemed to appear from nowhere. He doesn't answer and just keeps chanting…Eventually a plume of smoke come out of the middle and Tyler stops chanting

"I couldn't stop he yelled….I think something is going to happen"

As Tyler yelled that the plume of smoke enveloped our basement and I felt a sickening feeling of vertigo and my head began to swim.

The last thing I remember before my vision got blurry was sunlight pouring on my face as our house seemed to melt away
