Chapter 1
Lucas stroked the cold, gentle ground with the palm of his hand. He knew they were coming but he did not know how much time he had. Time was of the essence. When it was lost, trouble came and conquered. He glanced around not really knowing what he was looking for. A small bird had caught his eye in the distance. The feathers were colored a dark blue and around his eyes there were bright red in perfect circles.
The bird looked around and then caught site of Lucas. They both stood there as stones not moving an inch. At that very moment the bird looked up into the air. With one quick lift, the bird was up into the dry air speeding away with no hesitation. In the distance he heard the strange bird yelling in high pitched voice. He knew this was only the beginning of what was to come.
Lucas looked down at his dusty dark shoes. A few weeks ago a man was trying to fool him. What the man did not know was the Lucas was not a man to be fooled. Before the old man knew it, he was up in a tree stuck in a blanket. Lucas had taken his shoes away from him and left the scene. The man stayed therefor three days until and local boy spotted him and rescued him back to freedom. But that was in the past and the present was much to important as of now. He felt a slight vibration from the ground. A small rodent ran into a hole in the ground right beside him. Lucas knew they were coming for him but he did not know why. A small silver arrow shot right by his ear. In two seconds he was off and running for the water. It was his only safety from this foe. He knew he had to make it fast because it is known; time was of the essence.
