The Tale of Airemeth
Chapter 1 The Village is Attacked
It was a bright, sunny afternoon before the first of winter. My village was so small and poor it didn't even have a name. Mother had sent me to get some bread from the baker. Being the only child in the town, everyone was really kind to me, and if someone was mean to me they would answer to the whole village. I would get free flowers for my mother from the florist. The butcher would sometimes give me his best steaks for the price of his cheapest meat. But I especially like the baker. On most days I would go to his house and we would talk over some special bread he made for the day.
"Ah, if it isn't my dear little friend. What will it be today?" the baker asked. "Just a medium loaf today sir," I answered. "All righty then, here ya go," he said giving me a rather large bag. "Mr. Baker, sir, this bag is too big for a medium loaf what else did you give me?" I inquired. "Oh just a couple of sweet buns and cookies," he said "those are on the house for giving an old man company every day." "Thanks!" I replied. Just then we heard a scream.
"Quickly, Airemeth, run home and don't stop" the baker told me. "O.K." I replied, and I left the house and saw the village on fire. "Monsters are everywhere," I heard the florist say "there are Five R.O.U.S.'s three B.U.R.P.'s and a vagaran. We're doomed!!!" As I heard this, I ran even faster to my house than I normally do.
When I got home my mother was already fighting what I took to be the vagaran. From what I heard vagarans were water creatures that are the ancestors of mermaids and mermazons. Well mother had a kitchen knife in her hand and she just barely managed to cut through the vagaran's skin. It laughed at her attempt to wound it. Then it grabbed her in its pincer and crushed her till she broke into two pieces. I was hardly able to breathe from the sight but I knew it would come for me next, so I ran for it.
Not realizing the energy that was building up inside of me, I kept running until I found me self cornered by all of the monsters except two of the R.O.U.S's. One of the B.U.R.P.'s moved forward, and as I raised my fists to try and protect myself, the ground under it moved with my arms. So I raised my arms faster and higher, and the ground underneath the B.U.R.P. rose just as fast and launched the beast in to the air. Now realizing that energy inside me, I was going to see how I could use it to defend myself. This time the other B.U.R.P.'s moved towards me. I could feel some kind of connection between me and the river next to me, so I raised my hands and the water rose with it and encircled me. Then I made a slashing movement with both hands and decapitated the two B.U.R.P.'s. Blood flew into the air and landed on everything, including me and the rest of the monsters. Now the R.O.U.S.'s came at me, and this time I felt a burning in my palms and feet. So I punched and kicked each of the rodents and flames shot out of my hands and feet burning the creatures to ashes. Last was the vagaran. "You killed my mother," I shouted at it "prepare to die." This time as I punched instead of fire a great gale of wind shot from behind me and blasted a hole in the monster.
The monster collapsed right there, but I wasn't finished with it. I was going to completely obliterate it in vengeance. So I walked up to the beast, and noticed it was still breathing. "Spare me," it choked. "Tell me, vagaran," I said infuriatingly. "Why should I spare you? You and your little friends came and destroyed my village and YOU personally killed my mother. Give me a reason to spare you." "Because I can make you even stronger than you are now," it replied. "Yeah a dying monster can make a powerful ten year old even more powerful," I said sarcastically. "No it's true I can make you telekinetic." "Go ahead do it and I'll think about letting you live"
"So he grabbed me with his tentacle arm and said something that sounded like "Sonoi atra es kumian telekinatica," and I felt another surge of energy in my body. Suddenly I heard voices in my head and I looked to see where they were coming from but saw no one. "There, now you can here thoughts of any living being from up to a thirty mile radius, and you can move objects with your mind," it said. "Here let me try," and I blew up the vagaran from the inside.
