The Life of Echie
By Bexran
Once upon a time…. Wait a minute, this aint no sissy fairy tale! If you cant handle violence and a young dragon being tortured, than stop reading! Otherwise continue. This autobiography of myself will start at the age of six.
Chapter 1
At the age of six, I seemed to be living a happy life of a dragon. Until one day something terrible happened that changed my life forever.
"Mommy, if the perimeter of a four by four square is sixteen, what the circumference?" I asked my wonderful mother
"I don't know" she replied " but its time to increase the circumference of your brain. So start heading to school my little genius!"
"Ok, bye mom!" I said as I walked out of the door of my huge mansion
As I walked to school, I tried to ignore the laughs and snickers of my fellow students. At this time in my life, I had a head gear that you could swear picked up radio frequency! Yeah that's right, I had braces, and big ones at that. Kids laughed at me for the braces, and my intellect. I had no friends, and the teachers and principle laughed at me. So I guess its safe to say that I was the laughing stock of the school. Everyday I tried my best to ignore it all. But sometimes those labels really hurt. But on about my life as a scholar. I received A+'s in all of my classes. It may have been only kindergarten, but I was taking eight grade math, and ninth grade science. I could finish an eight-hundred page book, in about an hour or two. Also I was just about done with my formula to solving world hunger. So yeah, I guess you could say I was a bit of a nerd.
After a few hours school was over, and I was in the science lab, again. Finally, it was done! My formula was complete. All that was left was to test it. Since I had no volunteers to help me in my research, there was only one person to test it on, myself. "bottoms up!" I said to myself as I took the vial of bubbling crimson liquid to my lips and finished it. Then it happened. As the liquid passed down into my throat, I felt strange. My teeth became perfectly straight, my stomach was full, and I was able to remove the ridiculous braces from my face. I ran home as fast as I could, empty vial in the left hand, braces in the right. As I ran, I noticed a slight difference in my speed. I was going much faster than I normally had. Finally I reached home.
"MOMMY MOMMY! MyteetharestraightandIcompletedmyforumlaforworldhunger,butsomethingstrangehappenedandifeltreallyreallyweird!" I spat out
"That's nice dear. Why don't you go up to your room and do your homework, okay?" she said without question to my last statement
"Okay."
I thought that nothing more could come from my experiment. So I threw out the head gear, and the vial, and walked to my room. While I was just about to come to the final step, I felt woozy. I became dizzy. Then I fell down the stairs and hit my head on the wall. For a moment I thought I saw my life flash before my eyes. But I realized that it was nothing but the video of me growing up that my mom was watching. Then I my vision went blurry, then fuzzy, finally completely blacked out.
When I woke up from my what-seemed-like an eternal slumber, I found myself in a hospital bed. Some flowers were in a vase on a table on the left side of my bed. On the table on the right side of my bed, was a tray of already eaten food. On the end of my bed, was a restless woman, crying.
"Like, what's going on man?" I said without even thinking
Once I said that I saw my mother lift up her head, still crying, but I knew that she was glad that I was awake. But I still knew that something was wrong. I had never said that sentence in my lifetime.
"What's wrong with me man?"
"The doctors say that the formula that you created was not what you planned on. I'm sorry I think that you should know that, after the doctors examined the bottle that you had, they found out that you added an incorrect chemical. They don't know what the chemical was, but it did something that will make your intelligence, slowly diminish. Oh I hoped this day would never come!" she said
"Like, what do you mean by that dudette?"
"Oh no, well, ugh, heh heh, ever since you were born, there was this little prophecy about you."
"Prophecy?" I was lost
"A prophecy is a…" she tried to explain
"I know what a prophecy is, I just want to totally find out what the prophecy means!"
"Basically all it was was just that you'll grow to be smart. Then somehow, you lose all of your intelligence. And now it has come true!"
"Oh great!" I ended the conversation
