The Gifted Four—Shield of Epiphany

Chapter 2—Broken

"Gasp!" A light brown-haired boy jolted up in his bed. His eyes shifted to the clock on the wall, reading it 12:30 PM. "Gragh! I over slept!" he shouted to himself, pulling the covers off and getting dressed. The boy's blue eyes looked around, catching on a marking on his wrist. On the boy's wrist was a small X-shaped mark, blue in color, standing out from his skin tone. Life had changed since that night… The night he lost his mother…

A voice called from the bottom floor, his name, "Emrys!" He ran down the stairs, eating the food on the table that waited for him. Emrys ignored the marking for now… His father didn't know… he didn't know of what had happened…

The memory stuck out clearly from Emrys' memories, there was no way to escape the fact something… something otherworldly killed his mother. But, he was only an infant when she died… She was protecting him. He pulled the memory into his mind, focusing on his mother's face. She was terrified… The words were muffled, and he couldn't hear them very well.

"Emrys!" His father shouted at him.

"Yes Father?" He said, shaking his head into reality.

His father was astounded his son had answered, him gazing off just seconds before.

"Go and get the Mail," Emrys' father told him.

Emrys stepped over to the door, unlocking each lock down the doorway. His father was always too lazy to unlock the house. The chain… The handle… The key… All were slowly unlocked to get out. Emrys pulled his jacket off the hook, and put it on, heading out.

It was cold outside, odd for it was summer, and already noon, but Emrys paid no attention to it. He walked ever so slowly through the foggy morn to the mailbox. Perched on it was an owl. He opened the mailbox door and grabbed the mail first, then looked at the owl as he shut the mailbox door. The owl turned its head to the side, and blinked, followed by hooting. Emrys was about to turn around to head in, but then he noticed the letter the owl carried. It was a bit yellow colored, with red ribbons and seal on it. He took the letter from the owl, which soon fluttered off into the air.

Emrys' eyes stayed focused on the strange letter, as he handed the mail to his father. Sitting down at the table he noticed the address :

To Emrys Leslie Veilleux

Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry

There was no return address, not even his street number… Odd. The red seal had a shield on it, with four animals engraved into the seal, A Badger, Lion, Snake, and a Raven. What could it mean? He paid little notice to the seal, as he soon had the letter opened, and being read. "I'm… I'm a WHAT!"
