1. Chapter 1

Spring 1970:

Arghus' father sat on the stool, the magnifying glass extremely close to his face, making his eyes look huge. They were in his father's work shop, where he worked on some sort of prosthetics; sometimes he thought his father was insane. "Aha!" His father exclaimed, Arghus turned hoping it was something spectacular, but all his father managed to do was get the finger working on one of the prosthetic hands. Arghus could fix that in his sleep, his father had taught him everything, but Arghus knew more… one day… one day he would show him th- There came a knock. His father got up in a hurry, flourishing his hands "I wasn't expecting guests" me muttered giving a flimsy attempt of cleaning. His father shuffled to the workshop door, throwing it open in a sweep and sending dust everywhere. Arghus squinted at the light, it was so bright… he just wanted it to go away, to disappear. He was much happier alone in the dark. He walked behind his father, somewhat curious to see who had come to visit them. He was surprised to see who had exactly come, three of his class mates from school the, Merrlow triplets. The girl, Viola or something like that, spoke up "Hello! We were wondering if Arghus wanted to come exploring in the woods with us?" she asked cheerfully. His father gave her a warm smile, "I'm sure he would, come Arghus, go and play!" Arghus tried to back away, but his father's surprisingly strong arms pushed him out the door. He followed the trio into the forest, once they were out of sight from the house they turned and pulled out of box of matches. "Arghus? Do you like Fire?" The tall boy, George, asked. Arghus shook his head frantically; he knew what this was about, he had killed their dog last week, using one of his poisons. He had tried to explain it to the triplets, how he had just concocted a potion to turn people into statues, but somehow it went wrong. Instead of dissolving when coming into contact with water, it did nothing; Leaving the Merrlows with a wax dog.

It all happened ever so fast. They tied him to the tree, all lighting sticks on fire and bringing them close to his face. He struggled against the vines, grabbing the improved potion from his pocket.
