Ch 2
I wondered what to do, seeing as I could not be seen. (IRONY LOL). So, as any kid would do, I walked out of the school. I wondered if I could will myself visible, but suddenly I felt exhausted, and saw myself becoming visible. Interesting. Heading towards me was something that looked like a dragon in stories, except with 7 heads. The Hydra, I thought. My day was getting more curious by the second. I had the urge to try what I did with the principal. I spread my hands.
From my hands erupted a pinpoint beam of darkness, flying towards the Hydra. As it struck the Hydra square in the chest, it flailed and began to dissolve. I stepped back, and almost passed out. I had no idea how tired I was. Then I heard a voice, darkness creeping upon my vision. I snapped my eyes back open, and suddenly I was in a dark space.
Unlike most others, the dark brings me comfort. In this place, it was a mansion of darkness. In front of me, there was a woman cloaked in darkness.
"Kiyren, I am proud of you, yet you must find the camp." She said.
"Camp? What camp? Who are you?"
"You will find out soon enough. Now, take out your most prized possession."
My most prized possession is my necklace. Don't judge me, I wear it everyday. It's made of a silvery metal, and is shaped in a crescent.
As I took my necklace off, it began to glow. In an instant, I was holding a black scythe.
"It's unlosable and unbreakable. It's also made of Stygian Iron, a substance to destroy monsters with. Just will it back into necklace form and back." She told me.
"Thank you, but where do I go now…" I barely finished the question, and I stumbled out of the mansion, to hear a noise. "Click, Click."
"DROP THE GUN!"
The question was yelled out of a megaphone. I heard sirens blaring, and glanced down at my scythe. Sure enough, it flickered back and forth. Maybe they cannot see it how I do, I thought. Willing it back, and putting it on, I did the rational thing. I ran. Sprinting towards a fence, I realized I had too much momentum to stop.
I flinched, waiting for impact. Then… nothing. There was a silence, followed by a "Where did he go?" I looked down once more, and saw nothing. I had become intangible. Taking advantage of it, I ran into the woods. Soon after, I was almost incapacitated by tiredness. All I could think of was what the woman said, "The camp". I fell backwards, but hit nothing.
