AN: this is my first regular fanfic so shut up about those non-constructive booing!
Prologue:
It was a dark, stormy night. Though a hurricane named Matthew had just left, already the people were starting to go out, the 24/7 shops were opening, the night shift workers were going to work, and everything was back to normal… but one thing. Amidst the darkness, a man, dressed in black, sneaked out of a building for one last time. This was his chance. For freedom from the tyranny at home, from the bullies at school, and from the mysterious shadow that kept following him during recent times. His name was Jeremy Hoffman. Through the mist, he walked, though not without hardships, without any goal but to leave his god forsaken house. He said to no one in particular, "Why do I get the short end of the stick every single time! It's not like I'm that bad! I mean, I suck at everything other than Greek, which is an elective, but still! WHY! Ugh, this is annoying." As he was murmuring to himself, a thought came to him.
He ran towards the subway station, trying to take a train to Long Island, where his Greek teacher had told him to go if he ever had more troubles with his family. His Greek teacher had said, "If you ever need to get away from your family, let it be temporary or permanent, come to Long Island at my… I guess you could call it a summer camp of sorts." Well, there was nowhere else to go, so he decided to see what Mr. Brunner had in store for him.
{AN: Yes, this is what you think it is…}
At the subway station, he was getting on board when an old lady pulled him off the train. "Hey! What the heck are you doing! I don't even know you! Ma'am! I've got things to do you know!" The "old woman" hissed,"RRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEETTTURRNNNNNNTTTTTTTHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEHHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKNNNNEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!", while turning into an atrocious, grotesque dragon, chasing after him as he yelled, "WHAT THE FUCKING HECK WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP CHASING ME! WHAT THE HECK EVEN ARE YOU?! WHAT! THE! HELL! HEY! STOP!"
Jeffrey ran and ran and ran, seeking for escape. But oh, there was no hope! As he ran, it seemed as though time came to a stop as he ran and ran, trying to get away from this weird old woman that turned into a brown, black, and grey dragon. "Oh, help me! Anyone! PLEASE!" All of a sudden, he saw that he was no longer at the subway station and was not being chased. "Oh, thank GOD! I'm free!" He heard a voice saying, "Quickly, get in! They will find you! Your teleportation trick won't last you forever! They can't get you in here!"
{AN: So that's about it. Try guessing how he teleported and where the Helm of Darkness is!}
PREVIEW OF THE NEXT CHAPTER:
"Six shall go to the land in the west,
One shall be dead during their quest,
Death by fire or death by storm,
To bring him life or to be deformed."
What does it mean? Who are the six? Why is it so vague? Who is Jeffrey actually?
