Starting Point chapter 2: I'm your shadow

Then suddenly another cloaked individuals with the same white cloak with gold trimmings appeared, he too had short blue hair he also had a bluish beard. Then he said,

"No on the contrary, we have been waiting for you Lord of Distortion."

Then there was a moment of silence as the three cloak individuals gazed at him, suddenly the teen started to laugh out loud.

"Is something funny?" said the old man

"This, this is too funny. I'm supposed to believe that everything that happening right now is real, Lords, Distort ha I bet I had something bad before I fell to sleep." the teen said with a somewhat smug grin on his face.

Then the old man lifted him by the collar of his shirt and had thrown him into the nearest wall. The teen screened out of pain while the other two individuals merely watched.

"What the hells your problem old man?" he yelled out

"In dreams you can't feel pain is that correct, but clearly you felt something a moment ago."

"Why you dirty old bastard!"

Then suddenly without the teen knowing his left hand started to spark with what seemed to be electricity. The teen felt a small tingle in his left hand and started to freak when he saw what was happening.

"What's happening to me?"

"Your powers are starting to awaken, and if you want to learn how to control them I advise you to come with us."

"To where?"

"To the castle of course, it in the center of this fair city."

Then the old man pointed straight to a large castle that was dead center of Radiance City. How I missed seeing that, he thought to himself. Then the cloaked individuals started walking towards the castle while he was looking at it.

"Hey are you coming or what?" said the blonde women.

The teen started to run towards them and as he caught up he started to ask them some questions but no one want to answer them except for the blonde hair women.

"Excuses me miss, I didn't quite caught your name." he asked her.

"The name's Sarah, Lord of Space and what about you? Can you remember your name?" Sarah asked him

"Dustin I think, but I don't really like it. So what was that the old geezer called me, Distortion? Ya, for now on I will be known as Distortion."

"Ok then Distortion, you got any other questions you would like to ask?"

"Ya, mind telling me about your friend and the old geezer?"

"Well the old geezer you so bluntly call him is Master Teo he is the Lord of the Alpha and he is also going to be the one that's going to help you control your powers, and the other one is Marcia she is Master Teo's daughter and she too has the power of the Alpha. She also has a mean temper so you better watch yourself. "

"Ok then, umm last question for now. Do you mind telling me about this castle that we're going to?"

"It's called the Castle of Beginnings, it's where all Lords of past and yet to come train and spend the rest of their days in peace and harmony."

As Sarah and Distortion continued to talk and without them knowing, they had finally reach the Castle of Beginnings main entrance. Then Master Teo told Sarah and Marcia to go their separate ways while he showed Distortion around the castle. He showed Distortion the main training grounds where he would learn how to home his powers, the ballroom where they host an annual ball, and the living quarters where all the Lords have their own personalized room. After a couple of hours of showing Distortion around the castle, Master Teo ended the tour with showing him a single that had nothing but white walls all around. As Distortion started to walk into the room Master Teo quickly slammed the door shut. Distortion start to freak out in anger until he heard Master Teo's voice saying, Prepare yourself for your dive into your heart. As Distortion calmed himself he waited for whatever was supposed to happen, happen. As time felt like it was starting to slow down for him, Distortion decided to lie down and rest his eyes, but right as he laid on his back he started to have this somewhat sinking feeling. He then turned around and noticed that he was falling into darkness, as he fell for what seemed to be forever he noticed that he was coming up to what looked like a platform. As he had finally landed on it a large group of Distort started to appear from the ground. As the Distort formed around him felt something in his hand, then suddenly the katana from before appeared in his right hand and Distortion started to cut, slice and chop his way the Distort until they were all gone. Then suddenly a door magically appeared a few steps to the left of him and as he approached it he was able to hear a voice in his head. Beyond this door lies what you seek, but before you are able to gain access to it you must face your greatest foe, said the voice inside Distortion's head. Then suddenly the door opened up and six black tentacles with a single red spike at the end came shooting out, and attached to the black tentacles was a shadowy figure. This shadowy figure looked familiar to Distortion but he couldn't put his finger on it, and right as the creature came out of the door the voice started to speak once again. Beyond this door lies what you seek, but before you are able to gain access to it you must face your greatest foe, your inner darkness. Distortion raise the katana in preparation for a battle until the creature raised its hand, placed it on the katana, and lowered it to the ground then it started to speak.

"I finally came out of the close," said Distortion's darkness then the two of them started to laugh.

"Ok enough with the jokes, we need to talk."

"Talk, but I thought that we were supposed to battle just like the voice said." Distortion said while keeping his guard up.

"Well that voice that you heard was a pre-recorded message for all the Lords when they too must fight their inner darkness."

"But why should I trust you, you're my evil self."

Then Distortion's darkness started to laugh.

"How much of your memory did you loss after you died?"

"What are you talking about, I'm not dead!"

"You don't remember do you? Ok then I guesses I'll have to tell you then. To create a so-called Lord one must first have a pure mind, heart, and soul, and when they die they become a Lord of what ever instead of going to the afterlife. It's funny because I know for a fact that you shouldn't have been chosen to become a Lord."

"And why is that?"

"Because you never had a pure mind, heart, or soul to begin with, I should know we were once one."

"Two things, first off GAY, and second what the hell are you talking about?"

"You were once able to control you light and darkness before you died, and I know that you can do it once again, hence why I'm not going to fight you. Instead I'm going to let you gain a little bit of the power of distortion and once your ready I'll release a little more."

"Just like a valve."

"That's correct, it's so that you won't lose control of it and kill the two of us. As once you are able to fully control your powers you and I will once again become one."

"Again GAY, but what will happen when that happens? Will you take control of my mind?"

"Nope, like the voice said I'm your darkness so that means I'm still apart of you."

"Ok I think I get it now."

"Good because I don't want to repeat myself. Also before I forget I must tell you about your memories."

"What about them?"

"Before you died most of your memories were, lets say, painful ones so I'm going to short through them a give you the ones that I know that you'll need in the future."

"What about the other ones?"

"Garbage, just garbage unless you want to go insane because of what had happened to you in your past life."

"Ok then."

Then suddenly the door that Distortion's darkness came out of started to shoot out what seemed to be dark waves which started to engulf Distortion. When all of it was done Distortion was wearing a cloak, much like the one Sarah, Marcia, and Master Teo was wearing but only in black.

"There, now you look like a proper Lord of Distortion." said the darkness, and then suddenly flashes of light started to appear everywhere.

"Well it looks like it's time for you to leave, just make sure that you don't over use your powers and don't go on an evil rampage like the last one."

Then Distortion awoke in the blank white room that Master Teo locked him in, and as he got up off the ground he noticed that he was wearing the black cloak that he gained from wherever he went. Then Master Teo unlocked the door and told him that he was successful in defeating his darkness and now he was able to control his powers. Distortion couldn't tell him that he didn't fight his darkness because he thought that he could get in trouble or something. Then Master Teo took him to wear he would be living and told him that his training will begin in the morning.
