Tools of a God
Chapter 1: The Discovery: Gauntlet of Scryer
Date: 21/03/03
Location: Archaeological Site, Egypt
Grunting, Dudley Vernon shifted the soil from the area that he was digging. He stiffed a smile at the thought of his new job, "If they had told me I would be an archaeologist when I was 10, I'd have laughed." His new job was great, working for Dr. John Spicer. According to Dr. Spicer's research, and readings, they were on a site that had an extremely high chance of success. After another hour, he found an object buried in the sand, what seemed to be a gauntlet. As he touched it, the object emitted a glow. 7 years of living with his cousin Harry, Dudley instantly understood the object was magical. Before he could react, the object flew towards him, and latched onto him, encasing his right hand and part of his arm. Yelling, he tried to remove the gauntlet, but it was stuck fast. Dr. Spicer ran over, and attempted to help, having witnessed the entire scene.
"Okay Vernon, hold still." Spicer said, pulling out another unusual object, and pointing it at the gauntlet, Kuzusu Atom!" he said. The object emitted a beam of energy, which simply deflected off the gauntlet, and hit the ground, burning a hole through the sand, a hole with a glass edge, caused by the beams heat.
"Okay Vernon, we'd better get help about this." Spicer said, "I know only one person who could help us."
"Where can we find this person then?" Dudley asked
"Ever been to China?" Spicer asked
"China?" Dudley asked, "How would we get to China?"
"This way." Spicer said, pressing a button on his watch. A futuristic looking aircraft appeared, and landed.
