Chapter 1: The Awakening

BANG!

There was a intense loud noise that made my eyes snap open. The ringing in my ears were painful. My body numb from head to toe, I tried my hardest to sit up.

All around me were trees blown back and the ground chard with flames. The dirt still hot with embers. My shirt was ripped to pieces with no indication of a wound but my chest was burning with pain. The feeling of a hand that is desperately trying to scratch its way out of my chest was unbearable.

With some effort I got to my feet and wondered how I even got here. More importantly, who I am.

Surrounded by a forest, I picked a direction and tried to get out of here. The sky grew darker and the winds picked up.

This is bad...

While walking through the forest I found a small pond with fresh water. I walked up slowly to it, kneeling down looking into the water and at myself. I was a tall Breton man with jet black hair flowing down to the back of my neck and the side of my face which stop right below my ears. My bangs went down my face and stopping just above my eyes. I also had pale skin but the strangest of all were my eyes. They were as red as blood.

Then, out of no where my left arm jolted in pain. Gritting my teeth I held on to my arm, I open my hand to find a strange looking scar that's glowing red.

"What the hell is going on," I said quietly.

The pain grew stronger to the point where it went numb. I walked to a tree and rested my arm on the trunk trying to get feeling back. Suddenly, red sparks emanated from my hand where I touched the tree and it ripped to pieces. The trunk of the tree, hollowed with wood pieces everywhere and threatening to fall. I looked at my hand wondering to my self... What am I?...

Running as fast as I could, I tired my hardest to get out of here. Feeling claustrophobia closing in I stopped and laid against a tree. As things couldn't get worse it did. The clouds picked up and there were short jolts of lightening. Then, as soon as I knew it, I started to rain and the darkness of the night closed in.

The rain fell heavily in the forest. The night was harsh and the winds blew stronger every second.

I looked down at my left arm, holding on to it very tightly like the only life line in this world, I yell loud in pain. Feeling my blood run cold as the burning scar on my palm grow hotter by the minute. The circle shaped scare with a V through it was glowing intensely. With a shade of crimson red, the glow was the only light seen for miles.

I'm not going to survive long out here...

While laying against a tree on the cold wet ground, I closed my eyes in pain and steadily tried to get to my feet. Crouching low putting one feet in front of another I slowly walked through the forest. Looking left and right I desperately tried to find a way to get out of this dreadful forest. Slowing my pace as the energy in my body ran dry.

How did things come to this...

Slowly my eye lids grew heavy and my knees started giving in. I walked in a slow pace with my hair draped over my face wet from rain water barely seeing where I step. Suddenly, out in the distance I could see a dim light. Hope finally struck. Using all my strength, I push forward towards the light. As I got closer, my vision started to blur and I began to lose consciousness. Gritting my teeth I pushed forward desperately. Then, when I thought I would make it, I tripped over a branch and hit the cold wet ground taking the breath out of me.

Laying there, I reached towards the light with some sense of hope. As my vision grew dark, the hope that was left in me did also.

Then I heard yelling in the distance," Father! Father come quickly, there is a man here and hes not moving," the female voice called out.

Shortly after I drifted into darkness.

There were lights everywhere surrounding me, a loud voice calling me. I looked up to see a void of darkness with a small red star in the mits of it all. The star fell and sped towards me, my eyes grew wide as it hit my chest. It wasn't painful, in fact it felt great. Life rushing through my body filling it with intense energy. But the energy was too great that my body couldn't hold it and soon after it started to hurt. My mind grew dark as a voice called to me," NOOOO!" I yelled.

My eyes opened wide as I jolted out of the bed. "Eeep," the girl from before yelped.

I looked over to my side seeing her staring at me with wide eyes. For a short time we just looked at each other. Then I looked down.

"Where am I," I asked her still looking down.

"Your in Alinor, my father owns a farm here," she said hesitantly.

"What happened?"

"I found you out by the forest as I was gathering some water, you were not moving and I feared the worst. My father and I dragged you in here and took care of you."

"How long have I been here?"

"For about two days..."

I lifted my head to look at her and smiled, "Thank you"

She looked down quickly with a smiled, "Your welcome"

"My name is Claire, and yours" she asked softly.

I looked down not knowing what to say, I didn't even know my name. "I don't remember my name."

She looked surprised, "How do you not now your name?"

I closed my eyes. "I don't know anything about myself."

There was a pause, then Claire took in a deep breath and put her hand on my shoulder which made me look up, "Well, no matter. You can stay as long as you need but for now you need to rest," gently pushing me back down on the bed and putting back the warm towel that fell from my head before.

She got up and left the room closing the door slowly. I lifted my arm up to see if that strange scar was still there and sure enough it was. It stopped burning and glowing, now it just laid dormant waiting on its time to awaken. The feeling the scar gave off was odd, its like trying to talk to a mute person. Figuring out what kind of power this scar holds will be a long journey. For now I need to find out what is happening.

Slowly closing my eyes I drifting back into sleep. The second I shut my eyes I heard someone in the room which made me snap my eyes open. Looking around the room for the source of the voice, I find nothing.

"Claire," I spoke aloud.

Silence...

Then I heard it again. Am I going mad? I thought to myself. The voice was very low and I couldn't make out the words, all I knew is that it was calling me. It had a whispering sharp tone. I tightly closed my eyes trying to make sense of the words...

"Aiden... Aiden," it kept calling.

Is that my name?... Aiden...

The sounds of birds chirping outside my window took me out of my thoughts. The voice inside slowly dying down to nothingness. I took a large breath of relief. All the pain was gone and I was finally at peace.

"So Aiden is my name," I said quietly to myself with a smile.
