CHAPTER 1 – THE ATTACK
My name is Lein Kiza. Right now I'm sixteen, however I'm short for my age, so I may look like I'm only twelve or thirteen. Many people who don't know me take one look and think that I'm twelve, small, weak, and ordinary. All of that is wrong. I have proven in time that I was not weak, but the strongest of my village! However, if you want to know anything about me now, you would have to understand what I had gone through. At just six, I thought I had lost everything, but I guess that is wrong too. For now, I have many friends who treat me like a family.
Long ago, about ten years ago, my village was under attack. Many people came into my village and just attacked it, for almost no reason. We were not like most cities now, but we did our best to try and protect our village. We had a great barrier around he village, and everyone was surprised that someone had actually got through. We live in he forest, but still, we are close enough to the ocean. That is one of the reasons we call the village Waves. Luckily, the attack was on a full moon, the time my village is strongest. My mother and father were worried about me and took me to a secret tunnel. It was about twenty feet from our house. My father opened the tunnel as quick as he could, but he was not quick enough. Some of the attackers had followed us and were close by. My father pushed me in through the opening, but with his back turned, was attacked himself. My mother than followed me in, and shut the opening. After she got to her feet, she quickly grabbed my wrist and pulled me onward.
After about and hour or more of running, she finally stopped. She sat down and without looking at me, waved her hand and formed a wall behind us! She then asked me to sit down across from her and to listen to everything she said. This most have been important and secret because she spoke so softly but firmly. "Lein, do you know why our village is named Waves?"
"Because we are near the ocean."
"Yes, but there is another reason."
"There is?" I had not known this, and I was not supposed to until I turned ten. That was a tradition in our village. "What is it?"
"There is a great secret to our village. It is the reason that we are under attack. Here, take this scroll. It holds the keys to the secret of Waves."
"Mother, what is this great secret?"
"It is the gift. Did you see how I made that wall behind us? That is what the gift does. It gives us power over the water, any water at all. All we have to do is focus."
"So, this scroll will teach me how to use the gift. Do others have this?"
"No, you were supposed to get this scroll when you turn ten, but in case they find me, we can not let them find the scroll."
"When I turn ten?" That is three and a half years from now. Why would mother be telling me this now?
"Yes. This scroll is the same one that my mother gave to me on my tenth birthday. So you must keep it safe. And you can not tell anyone you have it, at all, unless you truly must. Or that you trust that person with all your heart."
"Yes mother. I understand."
"Lein, you must go now. And remember what I said." She stood up and them turned the floor in front of her into ice itself. Than, before I could ask, she pushed me onto the ice. Just after she pushed me, I heard her call out "Come out you cowards! I know you are here!" Someone had followed us. That is why she wanted me away from her, to keep me safe!
For awhile I had just been sliding with the ice vanishing as I passed it. Than, it seemed I collided into someone or something. That was one way to stop! I got up, with the ice vanishing, I could finally stand up still. I looked for what or whom I had bumped into, but I saw nothing. "I know I bumped into something that was alive because that's what it felt like." I tried to remember exactly what I had felt. I had bumped into something soft and small. Just them, I saw something move. It was small, and looked scared because it only showed half it's face when it looked at me. It was a baby fox! But there was something else that caught my eye than the fact that it was a baby fox; it had blue fur! Blue fur, like the water!
