"Take this amulet son, use it to save the world." some one whispered."Go Mark, go!" the voice whispered again."There's not much time, hurry!""DDIIINNGGGGG" the clock roared."Ahhh!" Mark said waking up."Dad?/! " Mark looked around his room. There was no one there except him"I guess it was a dream" Mark said.I wonder what my dad meant about an amulet, he thought to himself.
"Hey, what's this?" There was strange shield shaped stone in his hand. There was a strange gem in the center of it.
"Incredible!" Mark exclaimed.
"My name is Freelancer, human." A deep voice said.
"Who said that?! Who's there?!" Mark asked out loud.
"I am the one in your hand, the one you called a stone." The voice replied. Before Mark could even say another word, his window suddenly shattered into millions of pieces and a man jumped into his room.
"Shadow Stride!" A man in a suit shouted.
"Give me that amulet and I might just let you go!" He yelled at Mark. Without answering, Mark jumped out of his bed, stone in his and, started running to the closest exit, his door. When he reached the door, he realized he was surrounded; there was another suit blocking his way. He was sure that there was no way to escape now.
"Trying to escape punk?" One of the mysterious men said.
"Well that's too bad kid 'cause it's too late!" The other one finished. Both men took out a stone that was similar to the stone Mark was holding right now.
"Redcap, attack!" They shouted simultaneously. A red beam shot out of the stone. Suddenly, two huge creatures with large, sharp claws for hands appeared. It was now four against one now. One of the Redcaps shoved Mark onto the floor. Mark could barely breathe as the monsters inched closer to him. He shut his eyes, waiting for all the pain that he was sure would come. He braced himself to face the hit that would end his life.
