Prologue
Another lazy, quiet summer day, much like the one before it. A day to laugh, to have fun, perhaps even a day to fall in love. Deep in a forest, where the trees proudly display perfect, lush green leaves, is a small lake. Its clear surface is smooth as glass and reflects the beautiful azure sky. The wild grass grows soft and tall here, while little yellow and purple blossoms spring forth from the ground adding little bursts of color in the sea of green. A gentle breeze blows through carrying the scent of sun-warmed earth and the perfume of flowers, the scent of summer. It blows through the tall grass, making it move to and fro in happy little dance and the trees to rustle their leaves and whisper secrets to those that would hear them.
The only thing that disturbs this peaceful scene is the melancholy boy that sits at the water's edge, with his knees drawn up against his chest. His wild, sepia-brown hair is blown gently about by the soft wind. His cobalt blue eyes stare at nothing, yet take in everything to be absorbed in their bottomless blue depths. His features are fine, a boy's, but they are hardened, indicating a boy forced to become a man too quickly. His lithe, muscular form is clad in dark blue spandex shorts and a green tank top. A weary sigh escapes lips and is lost in the breeze. He tightens his arms around him, trying to warm a chill that comes from within.
Suddenly a large black portal of swirling black clouds forms above the small lake. The wind picks up and roars around the boy who is fighting to stand up, his eyes staring in wide-eyed awe at the once clear blue summer sky. Blue lightning criss-crosses across the sky, loud thunder echoing through the once quiet woods. The boy turns to run, but it is too late. A bolt of blue lightning strikes him and throws him into darkness.
