Chapter 1: The Beginning of a Whole New Life
-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-
Our story starts with the main character named Lazarus, a 16 year old with shaggy brown hair, sitting in his apartment drawing random images on a doodle pad who only wanted something exciting to happen for a change.
"Ok, I am so bored there is nothing to do in this forsaken apartment," said Lazarus. Little does Lazarus know that tonight is the last night that his doodling will be "boring". On this night, Lazarus had invited his friends over to do their normal things, play D&D for a couple of hours and probably play a little of Fable. At 8:05pm, an hour after he called his friends to come over, the phone rang and a distorted mono tone voice spoke to Lazarus.
"Hello? Who is this?" asked Lazarus.
"Tonight your life will be changed forever," spoke the voice.
"What are you talking about? My life . . . will change?" asked Lazarus.
"Yes at 9:59, you and your friends will do the unthinkable," explained the voice.
"Huh? I am so confused." said Lazarus.
"The last thing that I am going to tell you is to keep your friends close and beware of the darkness," the voice said.
Then all of a sudden the phone line went dead. Now with this stranger calling to tell him that he and his friends' lives were going to change forever scared Lazarus out of his mind. So he got up and walked down the hallway ending up in his bedroom. Lazarus lay down on his bed and started to think about what the voice had told him. And all he heard in his mind is that you and your friends will do the unthinkable. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He told himself that he was going to stop thinking about what some stupid guy told him and he called his friends to make sure that they were still coming over tonight.
"Hey Regal, what is taking you so long to get over here?" asked Lazarus.
"Sorry you know how the others are, when one needs a ride, the other need one too," explained Regal.
"Yeah, I know that one from experience," Lazarus laughed.
Regal has been Lazarus' friend since they were in middle school. Regal, at 17, was in the same grade as Lazarus. He had been there when he'd lost both of his parents 3 years ago even though he lives with his girlfriend, Kari. She had known both of them since the 9th grade, but she and Regal have been together for a year and three months now.
After calling Regal and Kari, Lazarus turns on his X-box and started to load up his Fable character. While waiting for his game to finish loading, he turned on his CD player and programmed his Linkin Park CD to repeat. As he started to yell while he sang he thought, "God, when are they going to get here?"
After thirty minutes of jamming out to his rock music, he suddenly heard a loud bang at the door.
"Who. . . .Who is it?" Lazarus asked shakily with fear.
No response came back. Lazarus tried again, but opened the door and this time without fear.
"I said, who's there?" he persisted with emphasis in his voice.
The same distorted voice spoke again, this time surrounded by darkness.
"I ask you now, are you ready to choose your new destiny?" the mysterious man inquired.
"New destiny? What are you talking about? I thought that you said that my friends' lives and mine were going to change. . . . What have you done to them?" Lazarus raged with anger.
"Your actions show leadership and compassion. You have chosen your destiny and it will be known," The voice answered, evading his questions.
Just after the man spoke his last word, he disappeared with a blink of an eye.
"Whoa… where did he go?" Lazarus spoke with excitement.
As he closed the door behind him, he noticed that five different glowing orbs appeared floating over his coffee table. One red, one blue, one green, one white, and one black orb. Each orb had symbols magically crafted in to them. Each symbol showed and meant different characteristics; the red orb had a sword crafted into it, which showed courage, the blue orb- an axe, proved leadership, the green orb had a cloud on it, showing magical skills, the white orb had bested a staff, showing love and compassion, and the black orb that had a skull crafted into in it brought the darkness out of the heart of the one who controls it.
Looking down at the orbs with confusion, Lazarus wondered what to do with them. While examining them, another knock came from the door and he heard four familiar voices yelling for him to let them in. Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Hey, Laz let us in!. . . . . Come on let us in. . . . . I'm serious!" Ramses begged. Ramses, a 16 year old boy with light gray hair and hazel eyes was Regal's younger step-brother and best friends since the third grade. Regal's mom and Ramses' dad had married last year making them real brothers even though they already close enough.
"Yeah, come on Lazarus, let us in! I mean it. If you don't open this damn door I will knock you senseless and don't think I'm joking!" Skye said in anger.
Skye was a 15 year old girl with short blonde hair and a really skinny build. Skye had just met the group this year. She just moved to the city from the country. The other four are her only friends.
"Fine…fine, give me a minute," said Lazarus. The sounds of unlocking latches came as Lazarus unlocked each dead bolt and unchained each chain lock. As the door started to open, Kari asked Lazarus…"Is that a new magic trick that you are working on because that is so cool," asked Kari.
"Honestly," said Lazarus "I have no clue what they are. All I know is that a man hidden in the shadows spoke to me asking if I was ready for my new destiny. And before, that the same voice called me telling me that we all were going to do the "unthinkable". At first it scared me but now I thought it was a prank call and someone was just messing with me."
Stepping out from around the corner, Regal asked,
"So do you think that man put those there?"
Lazarus replied,
"I doubt it, as soon as I shut the door and locked it, I turned around and there they were, floating above the table."
"Well if it helps, I had a dream about this and a man gave me a ball and told me that I could change the world. I know that it sounds crazy but I think that these occurrences were not accidental," stated Regal.
"What happened in your dream Regal?" Lazarus quickly asked.
"Well, I was in some room with a man standing over three orbs and he asked me to choose my new destiny. When I touched one of them I gained some strange powers. And when this dream happened it felt so real," Regal explained.
"So what should we do with them now?" asked Kari.
"Well, I know what I am going to do," said Ramses enthusiastically. "I am going to grab one of those orbs and I am going to see what happens." While Ramses started to reach for an orb, Lazarus asked him,
"What do you think will happen when you touch one of those… things?"
Just as soon as Ramses' hand touched the green floating orb, he said.
"Well…, I don't know really but, what ever happens, happens. Oh, and Sky, I just wanted to tell you that…" And in a swirl of smoke, in a blink of an eye...
