I see Allen's truck in the back of the parking lot and walk over to it. There's something in the back of it I can't quite make out.

"How was school?" Allen asks as he pulls out of the parking.

"Great, actually," I reply, which makes Allen relax a little, "Wait where are we going, our house is to the left?"

"We're not going back to the house," Allen says, "Didn't you see the chest in the back of the truck?"

"So that's what it was."

"I have no idea what's in the chest, so I think it's best if we open it in a remote area."

We're about the open the chest! After all the times I tried opening it, I assumed it couldn't be opened, and just some antique Allen kept with him. Now that I know something is inside it, my minds starts racing. I get more and more hyped up about what could be inside. Everything I can imagine, invisibility potions, unbreakable swords, gems that can control people, and everything I can't could be in the chest. We finally pull over in a pretty unremarkable spot, with just trees on the side. Allen turns off the truck and grabs the chest.

"I did some exploring while you were at school, and found this," Allen says.

"Found what?"

"Just follow me," Allen replies.

He leads me straight into the forest and we start making our way through it, dodging branches and bushes. While we walk I start noticing little marks on trees that Allen must have made.

After about ten minutes Allen says with a smile, "Close your eyes." I do as he says and let him lead me. He walks me forward a little bit and then I can hear him running away from me. "Okay open your eyes on three, 1...2...3!"

I open my eyes and a knife, point first, is streaking towards my face. I dive out of the way without a second to spare into the cold ground. I can hear Allen laughing. To my surprise the knife doesn't impale itself on a tree behind me it just simply bounces off. I walk over and inspect it.

I slowly pick it up, "Very funny A-" and then I whip right at Allen. Caught completely off guard the rubber knife hits Allen right in the stomach and bounces off. Allen falls to the ground and lets out a little yelp of pain. I also fall to the ground, laughing. After I stop laughing I finally notice my surroundings. We're in a rough rectangular clearing that is about the size of a football field. This is the perfect place for me to train, it's big and secluded.

"Not funny!" He says, brushing himself off. I start walking over towards him and see he fell on something. It wasn't until he got up that I noticed it was the chest, not a tree trunk. In all the commotion I had forgotten about the chest. Sitting down, Allen explains the chest. The cold air makes him shiver, but I love it, in fact, I take off my jacket so I'm wearing just a t-shirt.

Allen explains that the chest contains personal artifacts from the previous Elders, and that the chest is the most valuable tool at my disposal. The lock on the chest can only be opened by both of us holding it at the same time, unless one of us dies. Allen explains how the chest is my 'inheritance' and that it was made for me.

"Ready?" Allen says as he puts his hand on the lock.

"Ready as I'll ever be,"

The lock is warm under in my hand, and subconsciously I cool it down with my palm.

"You nervous?" Allen asks like he knows what the answer is going to be.

"No not really, more anxious to see what inside."

"So you're not nervous? Not a little bit?" Allen says I notice he's getting excited.

"No not really, are you nervous?" I ask. Allen seems to be getting pretty worked up. Then he stars grinning like he's waiting for me to get something. "What?"

"Do you realize what you just did?"

"All I did was use my pow-" I don't complete the sentence, because I realize what Allen means. He looks more proud of me then he's ever looked before.

"This is first time you've used your legacy!" he says. I can tell he's waited a long time for this. He hugs me, and for the first time I see that as much as I need Allen, he needs me a little too.

"Now can we please open the chest that I've waited my whole life to open?"
