Ok, time to move on with the story. I call this one secrets revealed because Daniel tells the family more about himself, cause of the queen always trying to hurt him. So he shows them more about his past with that illusion vision spell. You've seen how it works so you know what I mean. But apart from all that, if you're able to realize, there's something else he's hiding. Like when he was in his room, and he was sad all of a sudden after looking at his locket. But what's he hiding? What's troubling him? You'll soon find out.
The next day, after last night's problem with Daniel and Queen Idun, King Adgar was in the library with Daniel. They were both sitting in front of the fireplace, and the king was discussing with him, what he discussed with the Queen last night.
"I'm sorry these things have been happening to you, son. But rest assured, these things with Idun attacking you, it won't happen again. I'll make sure of it. I'll have guards watching her every move around you. And also, as of now, you're off the punishment she gave you. You're no longer confined here."
"Thank you, King Adgar. I really appreciate everything you've done for me. I'd like to repay you in some any way I can. Anything you need me to do, you just say the word."
"It's all right. I told you I'd make you feel at home here. But before we discuss anything else, let me just ask you a question. Last night, Idun told me something about you making a suit of armor appear from fire. What does she mean, can you answer me that?"
"Rather than answer I'll show you," Daniel said standing up and then he made the fire shroud his body like he did last night, and underneath the red flames, they started to move through him, and made his suit of armor materialize as it did, until it faded and he was wearing his black and gray armor.
"That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen."
Both Daniel and King Adgar looked to see Elsa standing at the doorway
"Then I'm not the only one who's impressed. Where did you get this armor, son?"
"I made it. After I lost my arm and forged an iron one, I wasn't gonna risk losing anymore limbs, so I decided to do something about that." Then Daniel raised his hands in front of his face, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and when he opened them, they were glowing electric blue. And that electric blue light once again filled the room.
From that electric blue light, the vision started to show the same thing he showed Elsa last night. The forest with lush green vegetation all around on the trees and bushes.
When it finally appeared and the light faded, it was showing 18 year old Daniel standing there, looking at his iron forged arm. He wiggled the metal fingers like he'd been with a regular, human hand.
"I'm not gonna lose the other one, or any more limbs," he clenched his right fist then held his arms out to the sides, and stood straight.
Then all of a sudden, a big wall of fire was conjured up underneath his feet and went high above his head.
Fiery red light then slowly started to go up his legs, past his waist, then to his chest, and finally it stopped at the center of his neck. That light burst into fire like the wall around him, and from it his suit of armor began to materialize in a fiery red glow. Every part of the light that had burst into fire, went quicker and quicker, until his suit of armor was as clear as it could be seen now, glowing fiery red.
Daniel finally made the wall of fire surrounding him vanish into thin air, and the red glow faded, revealing his new black and gray armor.
After that had happened, the vision turned back into the blue light, and faded away in only seconds.
"Amazing," Elsa said to Daniel. "You created that suit of armor with your powers of fire, just like how I created this dress with my powers of ice." Elsa gestured to her icy blue dress.
"This armor is impenetrable to any weapon. I added all these strong parts, and made it into the strongest armor I could do."
"So it completely protects you from any attack from those goblins. You're really smart, taking precaution like this," said King Adgar.
"Thanks. Yep I added as much metal as I could. First there's the steel vest," he tapped on the dark gray metal vest with his left hand. "Made from 10 plates of the strongest steel in the world, that way no blade can pierce it." Then he gestured to his legs showing very, very black, thick armored leggings. "The titanium leggings. Made from 15 plates of it, covering most of my legs, so no enemies can try and take low shots." Then he held up both his hands that were covered with jet-black gloves. "The battle gloves are a material of my own creation. Allows me to grab any object as sharp as it can be, and it won't leave a scratch."
"This is really amazing, son. You really have taken extra precaution."
"Didn't want to lose any more limbs. The same material goes for the neck cover, in case any of those monsters try to go for my throat."
Daniel then took a few steps to the left, and his boots made a clinking sound with every step he took.
"And those?" Elsa asked and gestured to his really dark gray boots.
Daniel pulled up a chair and sat down. "One of the best parts. The armored boots. They're made from 8 plates of the strongest iron you could get. Strong enough to withstand an attack of 10,000 blades. All this and it would probably be heavy, but to me lighter than a feather." Then he made the fire shroud his body again, and de-materialized his armor the same way he materialized it.
"So just one more question," Elsa spoke out. "What made you decide to leave home?"
"I guess I may as well come clean. I've had questions about myself since I got these powers and abilities. My parents were at first concerned with it, but after I told them what happened, they did their best to try and live with it. So I left to find answers. I thought if I went out there, then I'd find the answer to one of the biggest questions I have: Who am I?"
"What was it like when you realized you had these great abilities?" asked King Adgar.
"Well, like I told you. It didn't feel so good the first time because it made me feel so weak and nauseous. But when I woke up the very next day, I felt so great and so strong, I knew I'd never be the same. And like I said, I taught that bully Thomas Sanderson a lesson. Want to see it?"
"Sure," King Adgar replied.
"I'd love to see it," Elsa also replied.
Then Daniel put his crossed hands up to his face once more, then made his eyes glow electric blue. Then all of a sudden, the electric blue light filled the room once more. When it materialized the vision, it was back in Daniel's hometown, with all the gray houses and buildings surrounding the place, people walking through the streets, and it went right to younger Daniel, who's had no facial hair, his hair longer, but combed flat, and he wore a red shirt, black vest, gray pants, and black boots. He was walking through a place where there were no people, and he walked along, minding his own business.
From behind one of the house, in front of Daniel, a kid a few feet taller than him, who had brown hair, which was inly an inch or two long, with hazel eyes, wearing a long sleeved, navy blue shirt, black pants, and dark brown boots.
Daniel stopped in front of him.
"Going somewhere, Simmons?" asked the bully.
"I will be as soon as you step aside, Sanderson," young Daniel said to him with a stern voice.
"You're in my part of town, punk. Now you're gonna get the beating of your life."
"Oh, gonna have all your friends pile up on me?" he asked sarcastically.
"Be lucky it's just me today. But you're really gonna feel the real meaning of pain," he said cracking his knuckles.
"Get out of my way, Thomas," Daniel said even more sternly.
"Ooh. You're really gonna get it now, punk."
"You mess with me today, the only one who's gonna get it is you."
"Now you're really asking for it. Put 'em up!" He raised his fists and walked closer to Daniel.
"Don't try it, Sanderson. This is your last warning."
"Oh, no. I'm so afraid of the shrimp. I'm shaking in my boots," Sanderson said sarcastically. When he was close enough to Daniel, he attempted to punch him in the face with his right fist. As his fist grew closer, before it could hit Daniel, he grabbed it in less than a second, with his right arm when the fist was only inches from his face.
"Huh?" Sanderson got a confused look as to how Daniel did that.
Daniel grabbed him by the wrist with his left arm, then threw him.
The bully went falling and hit the wall of a building.
"I warned you," Daniel said back and continued to walk on.
But the bully wouldn't give up. He glared angrily at Daniel, then ran to him and tried to throw another punch, but when he reached Daniel, as he swung his fist, Daniel quickly dropped down making him miss, then trip.
He glared daggers at Daniel and got back up and tried to throw multiple punches at him.
Each hit Sanderson tried to take to him, Daniel raised his arm almost as quick as lightning and blocked him. When Sanderson tried to throw yet another punch, Daniel caught his left fist.
"Nice try, Sanderson. My turn."
Then Daniel raised his human left arm and punched Sanderson away.
He hit him so hard, that he went flying off his feet and flew a few feet away from Daniel, and then he landed on the cement ground.
Daniel walked towards Sanderson who was getting up, and when Sanderson saw him, he screamed, then ran off.
"Guess he won't bother me again." And then he looked to his arms. "These abilities are great. I wonder what else I can do." And then he turned his attention upward, looking at a window of the building he was next to.
Daniel took a few steps back away from the building and he used his hands to scale it. He'd been scaling for a minute or two, but when he finished, he ran up to the building, and when he was only inches from it, he jumped. He jumped so high, he was high enough to grab the ledge of the window. He puled himself up and jumped to the next one, and the next one, and the next one, until he'd jumped even more on the highest window, that he got onto the roof.
"Whoa!" Daniel yelled as he got onto the flat roof of the place. "That's was awesome!"
He went over to the other side and saw another building's rooftop. The building was at least ten feet away from the one he'd been standing on. Daniel went all the way back to the other side and when he was there he ran back.
As he ran he jumped through the air like he were flying, then he landed on the end of the other side's ledge on his hands, which he'd used to push himself down a little, then spring from the roof. He started to go flying through the air, and then he landed past the ledge of the other rooftop.
He got up and turned to his right, then saw a lineup of rooftops.
Daniel then started to run to the end of that roof then jumped onto the next one, yelling in excitement as he jumped.
He landed then continued running and jumped from the end of the next one, and onto the next one.
He'd kept doing the same thing over and over, jumping from either his legs or springing from his hands.
When he'd come up to the last building rooftop, he'd stopped and panted heavily.
"This is too good to be true," he said with a grin on his face.
He went to the edge of the front of the building, and he jumped right down, then landed on his feet.
The blue light then flashed again and it showed Daniel running through the streets and showed him going to his house.
He opened the door of his place and his father was sitting on the couch, while his mother was scrubbing the dishes in the kitchen sink.
"Hey, Mom, Dad."
"Hi," his father greeted. "Come on. Have a seat, Son." He patted the old green couch.
Daniel did so and sat down.
"So how was jumping from those rooftops," his father asked with a small grin.
"What? How did you know?"
"I heard you yelling and saw you jumping from roof to roof."
"Oh, sorry I just, I-"
"No, no. It's all right. I found it pretty impressive to be honest. But now that I think, Daniel. Something is really troubling me about you."
"What is it?"
His mother came out of the kitchen and sat on a chair in front of the couch. "We're a little worried. Are you feeling okay?"
"I feel great. I've never felt better in my life."
"That's what your mother and I are worried about, Son," his father continued talking.
"What do you mean, Dad?"
"Yesterday when you came home, you looked like you'd had the flu and you were burning almost hot as fire," His mother spoke. "But when you woke up this morning, you said that you'd felt strong and well."
"It must've been just a temporary bug or something," Daniel suggested.
"What kind of bug makes you burn so hot. No disease makes you burn hot like fire," his mother went on.
"Daniel, Son, just answer me one question: What happened before you came home yesterday?" asked his father.
Daniel had a remembrance and in his mind, the thing that happened flashed in his head. That strange man appeared from nowhere, his horse bucked him off, and then it flashed again, to the man with his hand on Daniel's shoulder, giving him the power and abilities. Then he snapped back to reality.
"Mom, Dad. I think I met someone really strange yesterday. He said he knew about my problems, with the bullies and stuff. He said he'd seen it all. He said he was here to offer me a gift, and he put his hand on me, wish made me first start to burn up."
His parents looked to each other with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Who was he, Son?" his father asked again. "Where did you meet him?"
"That was the weirdest part. I was riding my horse but then all of a sudden, everything started to go blurry, and he just appeared from nowhere."
"But who was he?" asked his mother.
"He never told me his name, just that he was there to give me a gift. I think this is where these abilities came from," Daniel said holding out the palm of his hand. And then, in his palm a spark of fire came from nowhere and it started to grow and grow, until it covered his whole palm.
"Son, you're on fire!" his father Luke exclaimed.
"I'll get water!" his mother got up and tried to go towards the kitchen.
"No wait! It doesn't even burn. I don't feel anything."
"Are you sure?" His father looked close.
"Positive," Daniel replied. He closed his hand then opened it back up, and the fire was gone. "Anyway. After he did that, he was gone, just like that." Daniel snapped his fingers and more fire sparked, then faded.
"I wonder if whoever that man was is responsible for this," his father questioned. "Did he hurt you?"
"No."
"Well, if you ever see him again, don't talk to him, just walk away. Okay?" his mother clarified.
"All right. But I think he not only made me stronger, I think he gave me the power to control fire. I'm not sure how he did that, but I love these abilities."
Then it all turned back to blue light and faded away.
"So my parents were a little concerned with it, but they learned to live with it. After all, I am their son."
"There's something I forgot to tell you, son," King Adgar got up and walked to Daniel. "After Idun and I had that argument last night, I went and talked to the trolls. The old one, told me to give you this." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, gold crystal and gave it to Daniel.
"What's this?" Daniel asked looking at the crystal.
"They didn't tell me what it was for or what it could do, just that I was to give it to you for some kind of event," King Adgar replied.
"Well, as wise as that troll is, I think he can be trusted. After all, he did help me do that spell. So, I guess I'll figure it out eventually."
Meanwhile, back in that dark place, where the goblin talked to the guy in the throne. Whoever was there was sitting on that tall throne in the shadows, and he was watching Daniel again through a big, silver orb.
He groaned in anger. "I can't let him master that crystal's powers otherwise, all hope is lost not only for him but for me. I'd best start taking some real action."
He made the orb disappear into thin air and walked down from his throne. "I know what must be done." He walked over to the purple river, and then all of a sudden, he blasted it with lightning from his hands. As the lightning was being shot into that purple river, dark shadows started to erupt from it.
From those shadows a pair of glowing red eyes appeared from the shadows. After that the shadows around it started to fade, and a creature that took the form of a wolf, standing on its hind legs, with purple and black fur, bigger teeth and claws than a wolf, and it was at least 8 feet tall.
"I think I will call you Valcerous." Then the man started to laugh evilly, and he reached into his robe and pulled out another silver orb, which had Daniel on it. "Find this man. Bring him to me. I have great expectations for him. I'm gonna make him my apprentice. He's strong, very strong. I want him to be my apprentice, because I know he's worthy. He's like a son to me. Do not harm him. He's in a place called Arendelle. Go, Valcerous. Do not fail me."
And the wolf monster, Valcerous shrouded its body in shadows again and then it vanished.
"Yes. Go, I know that he will end up beating Valcerous, if he's as strong as I think he is. And he is." Then the cloaked figure burst out into an evil laugh again.
Okay. I'm gonna stop there. Whoever that cloaked figure is, he's up to no good. And how'd you like that name Valcerous. The way I pronounce it is Val-ker-us. It's the best I could think of. It sounds like an evil name if you ask me. Plus, I'm not very good at coming up with names. So if you have any for me, feel free to post them in your reviews. Please read, review, and enjoy.
